The Vietnamese Kitchen

The pictures below might be an obvious sign that our kitchen is taking on a new flavor: H's mom is in town! Tonight we had some yummy Vietnamese spring rolls. We wet the rice paper and then put a mix of Vietnamese greens, an egg roll, and some ground pork cake (like a fish cake but with pork) on top, then rolled it up and ate it with a peanut dipping sauce. My rolls started out a little malformed and prone to breaking apart, but my rolling skills improved drastically (maybe just moderately) over the course of the meal. Looking forward to our new adventures in the kitchen with all of the ingredients that traveled with H's mom all the way from Seattle to Hawaii. =)
