My good friend Mansy invited me to join an art flea market she organized with her friends and I happily participated. I did not make any craft/artwork worthy of display, but I made something which the tummy would surely appreciate. ;)
So I woke up quite early Saturday morning to hunt for the ingredients: mint, cilantro, and basil leaves, green leaf lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, lime and lemon, shrimp, chicken meat, etc. I enjoyed shopping for the ingredients despite the "busyness" of the farmer's market. I want to buy all spices and herbs that I saw but the practical mind said "you won't need or use all of them". So I stepped back and just bought what I needed for the spring rolls. Good choice! :)
After shopping, I started prepping the ingredients. I sliced the cucumbers and carrots, washed the herbs and lettuce and cooked the shrimp and chicken meat. So happy to come up with minty, flavorful spring rolls :) I was able to finish rolling around 50 pieces before the start of the market fair. Ideally, I wanted to make 100 but thought it would be just too many.

After the fair, I felt so dead-tired and very hungry. Hence, I met up with my friends Corinne and Yagi and had dinner together. See my healthy (?) meal? I was able to finish it despite the "overly" well-done meat. :p |
