I Have a Lot to Learn About Making Spring Rolls...

 Woke up early and got out to the barn for chores.

After that I motored down to Agape and did my thing...still lovin' the eliptical and gabbed with several of our friends who were there.

 When I got home, took more hot water out to the girls.

 They didn't care, and most of it was still there at 5. 

 Very grateful not to have a lot of wind.  I think the temperature went up to 18.

Decided to make some split pea soup for dinner.

 It took long enough, but ended up tasting great.

 Then I had this brilliant idea to make spring rolls (which had nothing to do with pea soup).  It was my debut and I used whatever was at hand....cabbage, carrots, red peppers, a little onion, sprouts and noodles.  That was my first mistake.

 After I drained the noodles, I added a little rice vinegar and tossed them.

 Had to take a quick break to do evening chores.  My camera was so cold there was no chance for a good picture.

 When I got back in, I soaked the spring roll skins one at a time and started putting them together.

 

 My wrapping technique left a lot to be desired!  (They needed to be wrapped much tighter).  There were two dipping sauces, Peanut and Sweet Chili....but they just didn't do it for me as the filling was not cutting it flavor wise.  It's a good thing I did not do this for company!  Live and learn.  The next time I will be more prepared.  I'm looking for suggestions.  Stephen Andrew, I'll bet you have some ideas.  Right?

So, after a weird dinner....I plan to sit by the fire....

 and read.  (The Litigators...so good)

Night all.
