egg rolls, conan, and job interviews

made egg rolls last night for dinner... I got the recipe HERE. they were YUMMY and easy.


Get yourself some of these egg roll wrappers in the produce aisle.

add ginger and garlic and asian spices if you have them to ground pork/chicken. more ginger and garlic the better..


when the meat is cooked, mix with shredded cabbage and carrots. you can buy a package of coleslaw instead. Also i sauteed the veggies in water and soy sauce for a minute before mixing with the meat.

put the mixture in the wrapper... fold the bottom corner up first then right, left... then roll!

cute right? fry in peanut oil... I know they aren't the healthiest!
lay out to dry on rack or paper towels..



eat with soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce.. mmm... use more or less meat depending on what your family likes. Parker always wants more meat and I always want less...



Also...Made this shirt for myself from a template found HERE. SO sad that Conan is leaving the tonight show! seriously I really enjoy watching his show... I'll miss it on those nights I can't sleep! Also.. Had an interview yesterday... It went well but I seriously just hate interviewing.. I get so nervous but this note of encouragement from parker on my way out the door calmed my nerves a bit!

You are so cute. I wish I could have been there to eat them.

I might make them myself actually. The "less meat" version. (and, yes, we all miss Conan)
