SPRING ROLLS

--plus some or all of the following--
Small rectangles of marinated firm tofu
Medium-sized cooked shrimp, chilled, with shells and tails removed
Thinly sliced crisp lettuce
Bean sprouts
Cucumber cut into matchsticks
Coarsely chopped cilantro
Chopped green onions

Soak wrappers in warm water until soft but not waterlogged. Carefully drain each wrapper and transfer to a plate.
Arrange fillings in a line in the middle of wrapper, then fold like a burrito.

PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE
3 Tbs. soy sauce
1-2 Tbs. creamy peanut butter
1 Tbs. molasses
1 Tbs. sugar
3 Tbs. chopped unsalted peanuts
juice of 1/2 to 1 lime
1-2 Tbs. Vietnamese fish sauce

Whisk all ingredients together and serve with spring rolls.

RIB SEASONING
1 Tbs. salt
1 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 tsp. sweet Hungarian paprika

Keep this mix around for ribs, chicken, and other meats. Rub meat with seasoning before grilling over hot coals.

GRILLED FOIL-PACKET SWEET POTATOES AND PARSNIPS
1 large sweet potato, skin on, sliced into thin rounds
2 parsnips, sliced into thin rounds or small chunks
1-2 Tbs. butter, cut into small pats
light sprinkling of cinnamon
1 Tbs. honey

Make a double-walled foil packet. Dot bottom side with half of the butter, then arrange sweet potato and parsnip pieces on it. Sprinkle very lightly with cinnamon, drizzle with honey, dot with butter, and seal tightly with top piece of foil.
Cook packet on both sides over hot coals until vegetables are soft.
