Patience Is Such A Virtue

The SUN also rises in this part of the world. I'm wishing an early Springtime actually. Why the need to wait for the official Spring? Okay, that's a sacred VERNAL EQUINOX.

VERNA L.  OMG! My name and my husband's second name in initial L.

Sometimes, I wrote in my own vernacular lingo (language). I'm talking to myself as in soliloquoy ikaw ang siokoy.

I've been busy. Planting sunflower seeds on small plot for the germination process. It worked before, don't know if those seeds will sprout. It will take 14 days though. The first batch of seeds were planted earlier sometime on January 23, 2020. So that's 9 days to go for sprouting. Patience is such a virtue in planting and gardening.

Patience is also a virtue in cooking because you have to prepare the ingredients on desired meals for family. And it depends on how many viands to cook which is usually two viands and several platter of viands when there are visitors.

Patience in the making of springrolls (lumpiang shanghai). Anybody whose been to Chinese restaurants probably have ordered springrolls or eggrolls, however, the lumpiang shanghai or springrolls I usually rolled to perfection are longer.

 The size of these springrolls are amazing. Each springroll measures  7.5 inches long (19 cm.)

Yummy, yummy springrolls! Delicious of course.

Springroll ingredients: Ground pork, ground shrimps, garlic, onions, chopped celery, chopped carrots,
chopped cilantro, ground pepper, salt, grated cheese.
