Good Friends and a Fillipino Feast!

What a wonderful time we had last night with our new friends, the Logan Family! Judy is Filipino, and introduced us to some of her favorite foods. We had a great time, hanging out, watching it snow and making this delicious food....we're all adicted to the Shanghai Egg Rolls pictured below.

Below are all the egg rolls that Meghan and I wrapped, stacked up waiting to be fried.

Here is Meghan, happily rolling away...when we tasted how wonderful they were, we didn't mind wrapping!

The filling is so easy...just some ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped carrot and cabbage, egg, onion & garlic powder and salt and pepper....just mix and roll! ( of course, we discovered that we had to cut the wrappers into fourths, use just a little bit of filling and roll TIGHT.

Here are Ronnie and his friend Jacob sword fighting...they played so much all night...really wiped them out!

Here is Meghan, cheek to cheek with Bella who just turned 3 yesterday! The girls babysit for them frequently, and we love them to death!

Here is Sara cheek to cheek with Hannah...who just turned 2. These girls are so darn cute! They also look very much like twins...have to know them to tell them apart!

Anna had a great time...playing with the girls, and all the cool toys!

This dish is called "Pancit Palabok, Malabon style. Basically, it is rice noodles with a special sauce with ground beef and a 'gravy' that you buy at an oriental market...then it is garnished with pieces of shrimp and hardboiled eggs. It was very good, but I think an acquired taste...tasted a little like anchovies.

This is Chicken Adobo....very simple, delicious chicken...served with jasmine rice.

I must say, that besides all the laughing that went on...the egg rolls were a huge hit and the favorite of everyone! The girls and I can't wait to make them again! We're so grateful for the Logan's friendship! The Lord has really been bringing more and more friends into our lives lately....we're feeling overwhelmingly blessed with friendship, fellowship and the love of God! ~Sue~
