Christmas 2007

Posted by greza on December 25, 2007 2:04 am

With Manang Fe and her family going home and my sister working, I thought I would be spending Christmas alone this year. Elaine & Dennis and Ms. Joy even offered to “adopt” me. But after a change of plan and sked, I was afterall bound to stay home for Christmas.

This was what I whipped up for a Christmas eve dinner for 7: the staple Spaghetti and Ham, Lumpia Shanghai, and my version of Kung Pao Chicken. We also had Chocolate Roll, Tricia’s Caramel Popcorn and Buko Pandan (Fruit Salad, the 3rd staple, is absent this year).

Hope you all had a nice Christmas, too!

LUMPIA SHANGHAI

Ground pork
Carrots (finely chopped)
White Onions (minced)
Kinchay (chopped)
Egg
Ginisa Mix
Lumpia wrapper

Combine all ingredients except lumpia wrapper. Mix thoroughly. Wrap mixture in lumpia wrapper. Deep fry until golden brown. Serve with ketchup and/or sweet chili sauce.
