“Are you writing down my bundle speak?”

A long time ago, I posted something about the kid wrapping lumpia. Well, it’s been about two years, so I thought I’d make another post. Check out the video above, shot last September, to see Lucy helping her Mom and relatives out with some wrapping.
If you look closely, you’ll see that see comes up with some rather interesting looking lumpia.

“I’m a princess who doesn’t need a crown.”
— Lucy, after much deliberation (and misplacing her tiara) adds a new princess rule
We visited my mom (Lucy’s Gma) last weekend. In addition to getting caught up (and getting our fill of soup and adobo) we got a big bag of frozen lumpia to take home with us. Score!
Lucy and I decided to take a few pics of the batch we cooked up today. I like to wrap my lumpia in lettuce before I chow down, something I picked up from eating eggrolls at vietnamese restaurants. The lettuce adds a nice clean, cool crunch to go along with the fried, warm crispiness of the lumpia.
Of course, you can’t have lumpia (or just about any of my favorite filipino foods) without vinegar. I made sure to snap a pic of the condiment squirt bottle I use for my vinegar. The squirt bottle is great because you can get as much vinegar as you want as you chow down w/o having to double-dip your lumpia in a shared sauce dish. (Once bitten into, a lumpia’s structural integrity goes downhill fast; double-dipping would leave lumpia chud in the sauce dish.)
I usually stick the following in my sauce:

The kid sure likes her lumpia. Whenever I start cooking, the crackle of the oil is usually closely followed by the appearance of the toddler with a goofy grin.

Cooking w/ Gma from Mike C on Vimeo.
The kid and her mom got their first cooking primers from Gma this past weekend. Since they’re both big lumpia fans, it was fitting that their inaugural lesson centered on the fried treats. Who knows, maybe Lucy will be in charge of bringing the lumpia at a future get-together!

The kid’s really earning her keep now, wrapping lumpia like an old pro! As long as we keep her in the dark on child labor laws and stop that rabble-rouser Wubert from putting any crazy “Union” ideas into her head, we should be good to go.
