Gluten Free Crispy Pork Spring Rolls

Yesterday a friend came over to drill in some shelves. Since neither of us have actually drilled anything ever, so it was an amusing time. My friend started drilling a hole and then announced "I think I've hit metal". So she withdrew, I attempted to cover the hole with white nailpolish and we chose another location while cackling "safety first!". Lemme just say, we rock. We got a shelf up and did a little dance and knocked back some Coke Zero and felt like menly men. We were going to drill another shelf in in the hallway and just before she made another hole, I noticed an electrical box and said "ummm. Let's just call it a day." So then I gave her a shellac manicure and all was good in the world.

In the evening I met a friend for some Indian food and it was spicy and awesome and a fun time. Loving these warm summer nights and can't believe I have only 2 more weeks of Summer break. Sob. Adult times ahead. I'm a little tired this morning but I got to chill on the sofa and watch Animal Rescue Miami. Cock fighting, totally illegal.

I've decided to up my fresh fruit and veg intake to avoid scurvy so this morning I have had raspberries and blueberries and feeling very smug. Soon I will have some carrot sticks with fat free Ranch dressing. Life is good. And tonight I will have fresh mozz with pesto and basil over gluten free focaccia. So good sooo good.

I have now been gluten free for a week and I feel really good. I won't not ever ever have gluten again but if I can keep my diet gluten free for the next couple of weeks, I think I will start to notice a difference. It has been surprisingly easy and the other night I made Crispy Pork Spring Rolls and here is the recipe and you are welcome.

A package of rice wrappers (made only with rice flour)
Ground Pork: .75 pound
A tablespoon of chopped ginger
Crushed garlic
Sesame oil: A few drops
Shredded carrots: 1 cup
Shredded cabbage: 1 cup
Shredded onion
A dash of soy sauce
Salt
Spray oil

Pretty much cook the pork (totally kosher) and then add the rest of  the ingredients except the rice wrappers and cook for about 5-10 minutes in a frying pan. Soak the wrappers in water for a couple of minutes. Pat them down. Spoon in the pork filling, wrap like a burrito and then place on baking paper on a cookie sheet. Spray down the wrapped pork with PAM and then place in the oven at 200 Celsius for about 30 minutes. The wrappers will brown slightly and be crispy. Carefully place on a plate (they will most likely split). I think next time I will double layer them. Serve with hot sauce. So good and gluten free! Win!

A Key Word Post

I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi...

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol". Salma Hayek naked : I have abso...

How to Dress Rich - Old Money

Image
Back in March, the Husband and I enjoyed an amazing night at the Bristol. It was a gift from my parents and probably the most amazing thing about that night was that we got a complimentary upgrade. We laughed, we danced and then I stopped and said in a serious tone to the Husband "It's cause we dressed rich an you know it." And then I danced some more and drank Moet Chandon straight from the bottle. I have class and you know it. Dressing rich is not that hard and doesn't have to cost that much. Now I am not talking about Kardashian rich (that money is the money of Satan), I am talking old school money, country clubs and drinking scotch. Here are some tips to how you can dress to look rich for different occasions (please note that this is in no way making fun of rich people, poor people or any people. This is based on observations on my part and the deep seated desperation of wanting to be a rich WASP from the East Coast. Pick me!). Dressing old school money pretty m...
