Have you ever seen a decoration your parents kept, carrying it with them from another country or a previous marriage? Carmina realized that parents often hold onto items they've purchased in the past. While browsing Greenhill's shopping center, she stepped into Mystic Gems by Bensani and saw so many nostalgic items that reminded her of growing up. I pointed out to Mom Violy that she had a similar crystal tree decoration at home. She said it was forty years old and already dirty. The saleslady explained it could be cleaned easily with soap and water. Carmina decided to take Mom Violy home and bring the crystal tree decoration with her. Mom Violy questioned why she was taking it, and I said I would clean it and return it. I noticed Mom Violy had placed planting seeds inside the decoration, for reasons I didn’t understand. Before cleaning it, I checked online to see what was needed, knowing its value. I placed a towel underneath, prepared a plastic container with dishwas...
Labor of love takes a long time with patience to have a dish all prepared for a family to eat. Some people don't realize to cook one dish especially when it is complicated just having a relationship.
Manang V asked for Carmina assistance to help her cook fresh lumpia to read what our recipes will be by helping each other with the ingredients we need.
There are two types of fresh lumpia there is ubod or mixed vegetables.
We decided to do something different by adding garbanzo beans that was given to us for Christmas in a basket.
We will be cooking something out of the ordinary where it will be time consuming to prepare our dish. If you have limit time this dish is not for you.
Honestly, you will need helping hands to make sure you have all ingredients prepared before you can actually combine all together.
