It has been raining here lately and it’s actually good for the plants and air, with everything blooming we do have high pollen counts and hopefully this will wash all the pollen dust in the air. My dad has a chance to use his fireplace also.

And for dinner we had Summer rolls. The spicy peanut sauce gave me a terrible heart burn, I have to remember to eat less spicy next time.

It’s easy to prepare the summer rolls, and the mints and parsley were from my dad’s garden. I cooked the thin sliced pork, and wrapped with the rice paper sheets.

After watching the news last night, it’s so sad to see what harm the natural disaster can do, and not to mention what is still in the air. Please do help the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund if you can.

That’s her talking to her birds, they are great to have as pet. 🙂
My mouth watered from looking at the bamboo shoot soup!! yummm
Thanks lady0fdarkness, the bamboo shoots are in season also, should see more coming out in a week or two.
Your Saturday posts are always a feast for the eyes and stomach, Nye.
Thanks Scott, I really enjoy doing this and the post is especially for my sisters that live in NYC.
I agree with lady0fdarkness, seeing the delicious food made my mouth watered. Talking of the pepper sauce that went along with the Summer Rolls, have you try it with the Hoisen Peanut Sauce?. By having the same experience as you, I now prefer the Hoisen Peanut Sauce with my Summer Rolls and it is splendidly delicious with it. 🙂
Hi Lala, it looks like I would have to lay off on the hot sauce, it’s definitely not worth it. I saw several recipe on line, I have to give it a try, thanks. 🙂
