We had rice paper rolls last night, with fresh mint and coriander from the garden. Seriously, how good are rice paper rolls? That's not rhetorical, I want you to quantify it.
And the thing about them, is that they are probably pretty healthy. To me it is crazy that something so delicious is healthy. Nothing delicious is healthy.
I said to E that if I was going to go on a diet, I'd just have R.P.R's every night. She said, 'wouldn't you get sick of them though?'.
Nope. You would be a sick, twisted individual if you got sick of R.P.R's It'd be like getting sick of patting a baby deer on a sunny hilltop in spring while a gentle breeze tenderly caresses your face.
But my big problem is over-packing. You see pictures of a nice R.P.R and they are tubular and dainty. Mine are like massive round wads, with bits poking out everywhere. It's very difficult to be scant in an R.P.R. filling, I find. One piece of chicken may seem wise, but I really need to squeeze at least three in there, otherwise to me it seems like a waste of a good R.P.R. outing.
Meanwhile, Little e sort of has the other problem, and goes a little too zen. Last night she was making one with the sole filling of a coriander sprig, when I suggested she might want to put a few more things in there before closing it up.
Anyway, there's no real other point to this post, other than to say R.P.R's are the goods.

Mate. You are on a roll with these posts (unintentional pun). Some funny stuff coming from your place at the moment.
I like RPR's too. A lot.
Love the drawing.
