Filipino potlucks are the best - Lumpia, adobo, mmmmm.

My sweet Filipina (soon-to-be-wife) is in the kitchen cooking. We were blessed with a rice sack full of camote (sweet potatoes), so she has gotten creative. We are opening a coffee shop and pizzeria, and she is looking for recipes to complement the coffee.

So. she cooked and mashed some camote, mixed it with sweet condensed milk and butter, and asked me to try it. I told her it needed more flavor and to try adding some cinnamon. She did and we liked it. The next trial was to make it into balls, dip in egg and flour, then fry it. Not so great.

BUT, the final product is a lumpia wrapper filled and rolled, then fried and brown-sugared like camote-q. Mmmmmm good and great with fresh brewed Batangas Kape (coffee for you 'kanos' reading along)!!!!
