27 and 1
when i was growing up in my parents' house, often times on the weekends my mom or dad would make us homemade dumplings, scallion pancakes, or some other wonderful chinese meal that required quite a bit of preparation.
i finally found an acceptable rolling pin at crate & barrel, of all places. for 5USD i got a rolling pin, 2 wooden spoons, a wooden spatula and a wood wisk. not sure what to do with the wisk, but on 01.01.05, i put the rolling pin to use by making dumplings.
i started around 830pm working together the flour and water. while letting the dough rise, i helped p rearrange some furniture and hang some posters while preparing the filling of pork, nappa cabbage, green onions, soy sauce and sugar. after about two hours of rolling and pinching, i was finally done. 27 dumplings were yielded with an extra quarter of dough. having an abundance of green onions, i decided to make a scallion pancake.
at 11pm, a sleepy p and i enjoyed six dumplings. reminded me of childhood.

Those are nice looking dumplings! You and Patricia should've been there at Auntie and Uncle's on January 1 - a small contingency of the east coast Kuos gathered for an evening of making and eating dumplings. :)
