I had such a good day and am in the best mood. I’ve gotten almost all of my work done, the doggy’s been out multiple times which means I got a nice walk away from my computer. I’m drinking iced tea right this minute. Life is sweet. Granted, this is only [...]
I really wish my camera was working (and not an idiot, lol), because my halfway-homemade steamed pork ginger dumplings worked out to be cute and delicious! Here’s my method (hehe, I love that term – I saw it in a 1912 cookbook!): 1 pack of store-bought wonton wrappers 1.5 lb of ground [...]
