do you see spots?
maura @ 2:17 pm
Last night for dinner Jonathan made dumplings. Dumplings! On a weeknight! They were very tasty. He combined two recipes to make frankendumplings: our Taiwanese friend’s mom’s recipe (which includes lots of spinach) and Anita Lo’s pork and kimchi potstickers (except he didn’t fry them, he boiled them). He called them Detante Dumplings, har.
We had them for dinner last night and then again for lunch today. It was kind of weird to be eating a giant plate of dumplings for a meal and nothing else, but they have protein and veggies and starch so I guess they’re a complete meal. Gus won’t eat dumplings, of course, though he does like us to rip off pieces of the wrapper noodle for him.
Jonathan said “the kimchi makes it funky”, which made “how funky is your chicken, how loose is your goose” pop into my head. And it’s still there today.

Those sound awesome! I’ve always meant to try the edamame dumplings from Geido. The one recipe J used was from Leo’s mom! Thalia came to visit when Gus was tiny once and made them for us, it was so nice.
we may have been eating dumplings almost simultaneously! only I’m sure J’s hybrid dumplings were far tastier. we’ve discovered a Japanese market not far from our place where a shopkeeper who speaks no English sells us udon, edamame & kimchi dumplings, mmm…there are many ways in which kimchi makes it funky.
