Carmina asked Mom Violy what kind of food she would like to eat for her upcoming birthday. Mom Violy said she was craving for a restaurant that serves steak and lobster. Carmina gave Mom Violy a list of restaurants for her to decide with a link of the websites for her to see which one look something she would like to try. One week before Mom Violy's birthday she made her final choice where she would like to try Mamou .

Carmina has been craving for vegetable lumpia. Anyone who has mentioned to me that they have eaten for lunch and lumpia comes to mind. I begin to crave for it even more.
I decided to make my own at home.
It came by memory when I was purchasing my ingredients what Mom Violy use to buy when making it long time when I was a kid.
Mom Violy uses to buy frozen mixed vegetables at the grocery store.
I remembered Mom Violy puts fresh beansprouts. She would always ask me to remove the roots while I was watching television.
Mom Violy has a best friend in California. Auntie Hermie always makes vegetable lumpia by handing out to her friends.
Auntie Hermie's friends call it egg rolls.
Everything came all to my mind how vegetable lumpia was the common food eaten when I was growing up.
Being an adult vegetable is still my favorite food.
Just we begin to crave food what we use to eat. The only way is to save money is making our own and have it store in the freezer.
Carmina also saw some people add different types of veggies. I decided to add cabbage to my vegetable and pork lumpia.
