Lumpia Shanghai and Bonfires

So on Wednesday, my friend decided to have a bonfire and had everyone bring foods. I wanted to put some effort and actually bring something made from home (there were 12 bags of chips--I'm not even joking) so I rummaged through my pantries, searching for an idea. My friend asked me to bring something savory since most people would be intent on bringing cookies or something of the like.
I flipped through various cookbooks trying to think of something to make. Maybe tortilla cups with ground beef...
No, there's no ground beef. Maybe something with a graham cracker crust, I have a lot of those...
Oh shit, she said something savory...

*brainstorm*

I opened my freezer door and started frantically taking things out. Sure enough, I found packets of Filipino deliciousness all the way in the back. Lumpia Shanghai, in chicken and pork varieties. I thought they were going to be more of a chicken crowd (everyone there was white except for me--Welcome to orange County...) so I decided to make those. I went to sleep, making sure to be awake early so I can get ready. I was showered and ready by 11 am, smelling of Fiji scent Old Spice deodorant. Then I get a text from my friend saying "**** is not going to be at the bonfire until about 3 or 4 so I'll pick you up then"

Slightly saddened at my early franticism, I sat down in my living room and watched some movies. A session of the Breakfast Club and a Transamerica later, it was 3 pm. I got up, fetched my lumpia from the freezer, and got our deep fryer from beneath the sink. I started preheating my oil at 400 degrees fahrenheit, and breaking up my frozen-together-lumpia with a scraper blade. With success, I waited for my oil to heat up.

I fetched some sweet chili sauce from the pantry, and prepped a few tupperwares ( a large one for the lumpia, and a small one for the sauce).

In the small tupperware, I mixed :
~1/3 cup of Sweet Chili sauce
~about 1 tbls of Sriracha sauce
~1 packet of ketchup (from any fast food place--mine was In-n-Out)
~1/2 tbls of Honey
~and a dash of soy sauce

I put the cover on a zhoozed (zhuh-zd) it up a bit before frying up my lumpia. I fried it in 3 batches, lining my tupperware with sheets of paper towel to soak up the oil. I separated each layer with another sheet of paper towel. My friend soon there after came to pick me up.
Everyone raved about the lumpia. Its about the only Filipino food that is slightly familiar to Americans. Imagine their faces when I show them balut, dinuguan, or No. 5 soup.
But that's for another time.
I came home smelling like bonfire, and in turn, my clothes, hair, bedspread, and room smelled like it for a couple of days as well. Suffering from only 5 hours of sleep, I soon went to bed about 3 hours earlier than I usually did. I woke up the next morning in a daze, wearing my clothes from last night, my contact lenses still on, and smelling of smoke. I chalked it up to it being summer.
