Creativity in Cooking

As fast food becomes cheaper and cheaper, many people have forgotten the art of cooking and have resorted to pizza and burgers. I don't have much experience cooking and for dinner I resorted to grilled cheese or mac and cheese--usually some sort of carb and cheese. However, this semester I was asked to join a dinner group and even though I only cook once every two weeks, it gives me the opportunity to create meals that I wouldn't normally make if I were just eating by myself.

My mom is Chinese from Indonesia and she is a great cook. When I was younger I would often help her fold egg rolls or won-tons. I decided that I wanted to conquer this all on my own for my dinner group and give them a little taste of Asia. After making a pork filling (pork, cabbage, onion, and carrots), I folded approximately 32 egg rolls.
