Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side.

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.
