I was in DC this past weekend for Katie’s wedding.  It was a lovely, not totally humid, DC weekend.  And I spent some time with the Bracken family.  This time that met a feast of Filipino pancit and lumpia.   Lumpia are like egg/spring rolls.  And these were freshly fried for us (thank you Haydee!).  And she made us the pancit noodle dish.  I remember this from Anna’s birthday at UVA.  Noodles for your birthday mean longevity (I think).

Needless to say, we ate the entire plate of lumpia and made quite a dent in the pancit.  And washed it down with just 4 bottles of wine (hey, there were 6 of us).
