Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to check in right quick with everyone while I can. Earlier this week, The Wife and I welcomed a beautiful baby boy into this world. Both mother and baby are healthy and well.
"Baby Lumpia" was born 8 pounds 3 oz, and measured 22.5 inches long (he's a lean mean machine!).
Thanks to those who emailed me and DM'd me on Twitter these last couple weeks wondering about the baby! Your well-wishes were much appreciated!
I'll get back to posting here regularly as soon as I can, so hang tight!
That's great news - the baby as well as the getting back to blogging soon :)

Congratulations! On the birth as well as not posting the sonograms with a lumpia marking the boy's *harumph*.
I'll be looking forward, as everyone else is, on photos and things. Please rest up, Ms. Lumpia! It's a long journey from here having now two boys to look after. ^_~

Congratulations to you and the Wifey! Does this mean when he grows up, he will be known "Boy Lumpia" aka "Anak ng Sunog na Lumpia"! Translation: "The son of Burnt Lumpia"... Sounds better in tagalog though!

Congratulations!
Check out my blog! I would love for you and other blogger/foodies to help me create a menu for my new restaurant.
I am taking a grass roots approach to doing this and I want the menu to be inspired by the people that will go there.

Hi, I am new to your site and have been lurking for sometime. First and foremost congratulations on your new addition. I have to say I thoroughly enjoy your site and found myself chuckling especially at the story of you buying fish (The Fish Story). I stumbled upon your site whilst looking around for Filipino recipes. Let me give you some background. I am American and my very good friends are Filipino. I love to cook as well and I am always sharing my food with them and theirs with me. They have inspired me to try something new in my cooking. I just got done making the Pinoy Pork BBQ on the skewers which was a big success. I am trying Adobo chicken and the meatloaf this week as well. Now your site has inspired me to make my own blog on my cooking experiences. Can't wait to see what you will be writing in the future!
