Egg Rolls with Sweet and Sour Sauce



Egg Rolls
1 pkg. egg roll wraps (usually found in the store's salad section, 6x6" ish in size)
1-4 eggs
1 bag cabbage mix (the shredded kind, used for making coleslaw)
1 lb. precooked ground turkey (I've used ground beef before and it's not bad,
but definitely not as good as the turkey)
1/2 t. salt
2 T. soy sauce

Tip: When precooking the ground turkey, add the eggs to cook them as well (this simply makes the egg rolls not as slimy to put together, feel free to precook the turkey by itself).

Mix the eggs, turkey, cabbage mix, salt, and soy sauce together.
Put some mix on a wrap and "wrap" it (take the bottom corner and fold, then the side corners, then roll the whole thing over toward the top. It takes some getting used to)
Spray cookie sheet, lay egg rolls separated, spray top of rolls

Bake at 400° until brown (about 18 min.)



Sweet and Sour Sauce
Mix:
1/4 cup ketchup
2 T. corn starch
enough water to pour into hot liquid below

Heat:
1 c. water
1/4 c. vinegar
3/4 c. sugar

Simmer to thicken.




Hmm... Now for a story... Well, I recently re-discovered these old pictures from Kotzebue, AK and I remember my parents telling me about how this was the trip that everyone went to play tennis (?) [Scott wishes! actually it was baseball] at 2 a.m. in the morning [like 12:01 a.m., so we'd still keep the Sabbath ; ) ] because it was so light out, I guess the cops (or local sheriff) showed up and told everyone to go to bed :)



My mom also told me that this is where I took my first steps, apparently to Grandpa! She said that even though I started walking only slightly before Erik, he was way more stable on his feet once he started. (correct me if I'm wrong) is this picture from the "un-birthday party"? Enjoy!




Grandma and Grandpa were able to make it down for their first
great granddaughter's baby blessing




K, it's kinda ugly and we should've taken a nicer one,
but there are 4 generations in this picture!



Grandma got this dress while serving in Brazil and Sadie loves it!



And finally, Tacia took this picture, but it's one of my absolute favorites.
