Dumpling Fest!

Last weekend, we were invited over to a dumpling making party. Rosemary Schwartz, who Lauren met on the AWA Sapa trip, and her husband Dave hosted the party. Dave is fluent in Mandarin and has befriended a young chinese man who is in Singapore learning english and studying hotel and restaurant management. He told Dave that he would love to teach him how to make dumplings and it turned into a party! All the stuffings (vegetable, shrimp, and pork) were prepared ahead of time. The dough was all made from scratch as well. We were taught how to stuff and fold the dumplings and they were cooked up in one of two ways - either steamed or pan-fried. The night was good fun and the six couples must have made (and eaten) over 200 dumplings. Yum!

Love,
Lauren and Jed

Lauren,
I love your pants! It looks like everyone was enjoying themselves. You two go to so many great parties.

Hi Mom. Funny you should compliment my pants. Glad you like them. Thank you! I bought the fabric on Arab Street (you and dad spent time there when you visited) and then had them made. I love them, but Jane thinks they are "ugly." She gives me grief every time I wear them.
XOXO
