Tonight's dinner...

Made some spring rolls for dinner tonight...
















...Made about ten or so. Some with rice noodles (thin, vermicelli-sized noodles), some with sushi rice. Some with crab, some with shrimp, and various combinations of basil, cilantro, avocado, chili garlic, carrots, zucchini, and green onions. I use(d) square wrappers rather than round ones, because, well, I find them much easier to wrap. Something about the geometry of folding squares rather than circles.
I have more pics I could upload, a step-by-step, but a lot of them are a little blurry. Anyway, to accompany the rolls, I made a quick stir-fry with some left-over veggies and noodles, and then some seared scallops (simple seasoning) drizzled with sesame oil.

It all came together pretty well. In retrospect I wish I had chopped more veggies for the stir-fry; it was a little heavy on the rice noodles and light on the veggies. But there was enough sauce for it to not seem like we were eating plain noodles.

Anyway, that was my dinner for the evening...

I'm working on it. I *thought* we had full access to the site on campus now, but now it appears that we don't. We can read the blog, and comment on it (I'm typing this from my classroom computer) but I can't seem to log in as an administrator, which is what we need in order for me to approve people, etc. I can do it from home, but I was hoping to be to do it here on campus.
