Be careful with frozen leftovers

Be careful with frozen leftovers

When im hungry and at home with no money I use my imagination and work with what I have in the kitchen, like in Sesame Street or MacGyver. Today I realized that I could make rice, coffee, and pizza made out of sliced bread and McDonald’s ketchup packets.

Disappointed, I looked into the freezer and found a mysterious bag full of frozen lumpia. I say mysterious because I could have sworn it wasn’t there before. Also, I didn’t know how old it was. Im not good with carbon dating but I think it dated back to the Cretaceous period. I decided to take a chance and unfortunately the only oil I could work with was some old peanut oil from Thanksgiving 1982.

When I was finished frying I tried one, threw it in the garbage with the rest of them, and came up with this list of things not to do when frying lumpia:

  1. Don’t use lumpia older than your nieces and nephews.
  2. If you have no choice but to use old cooking oil, be sure there aren’t any fuzzy balls or grit from whatever your ancestors fried with it.
  3. Make sure that the oil isn’t too hot before throwing the lumpia in. If the lumpia catches fire, pray from your mom’s old Novena book.
