Filipino Fiesta!

Just by looking at my kids, I don't think a lot of people would guess that they're part Filipino. Well, maybe Ethan, if I happened to be standing next to him or something, but the other three, not so much. So when my sister told me last night that my parents were planning on cooking some Filipino food, we automatically dubbed it, "Filipino Fiesta" like the old tv show our grandparents used to watch back in Hawaii.

We had lumpia, pinakbet, adobo and some other foods that weren't exactly Filipino, but we enjoy anyway. By the time the main dishes were ready, I had already stuffed myself silly with shumai and lumpia; so satisfying, but I really can't move right now, lol.

All the kids, except for Ryan, ate some "regular" food (chicken nuggets, I think), which is okay. They do like lumpia, but just the banana-filled ones. In fact, I think that's all Ryan had for dinner, lol!

I vote for Filipino Fiesta at least once a month!
