So i tried making spring rolls the other day....
Epic Fail...
But it wasn't my fault! I did everything right, i mixed all the nummy filling together perfectly, cooked the rice noodles perfectly, soaked the rice wrappers...maybe a little too long, they got a little big...and made the nummy sauce that you toss the filling in perfectly. And the still were fail.
I blame Fido. He was just standing there very unhelpfully with a little smile on his cute face...a very unhelpful yet cute smile...
They tasted good though! You just had to eat them with a fork. I have realized i do not know how to wrap a spring roll...and i have no good tutors on the matter either... My version of wrapping said spring roll consists of:
1. Take this size <> blob of filling...or so...
2. Center blob of filling over cilantro leaf on rice wrapper
3. Bring all sides of rice wrapper to center simultaneously and flip over before anyone sees the epicness.
addendum: if said rice wrapper rips/tares/falls apart ect. take another one and wrap it over the other one...tada!
So yah, fail...although i did become slightly better throughout the process, i wish to be MUCH MORE BETTER!!!!
I saw the funniest video of my life today...and we'll leave it at that....

East Coast or Iceland?
So i've been working on my epic trip I'm going to be taking when I get out of school...I finally decided on a few things.
1. Doing the whole world in one go is impractical and more than likely would end poorly
2. Doing a continent at a time may be more successful
3. I'm calling canada, ice land and greenland a continent...and they will be my first spots
I just don't know where or why or when from there. Canada has its own rail and air systems and the US has its and they dont always interbreed very well...so I might just walk to iceland...there is only one flight that I can see that goes their and it leaves from a couple places in canada and the US...boston being the one that I'm considering.
It all sounds so very fun. As long as I get to churchill, MB, and see the Aurora Borealis I'm happy!
