RAINBOW SUMMER ROLLS WITH SPICY PEANUT LIME DIPPING SAUCE

Please See Other Recipes

Things I’ve done this summer: narrowly avoided sunburn, taken almost daily walks, had far too many coffees, swung on the playground swings for a good half hour every other morning even though the seat hurt my butt, had never ending family dinners and picnics, watched the new Star Wars (with only two pee-breaks), planted some new passionfruit, harvested my chamomile, calendula and peppermint (and dried them ready for tea blends and cream-making), put on a few (whoops, damn you Christmas fruit cake), introduced my 14-month old neice to the art of drawing on oneself (soz, sis), dipped a toe in the ocean (water wimp right here), and made multiple summer rice paper rolls for dinner. A holiday well spent!
