Dumplings

I went to a friend's house to learn how she makes dumplings. Joseph loves her dumplings! I think the secret ingredient is msg, but I still learned quite a bit. I learned a different way to prepare the skins as well as a different way to cook the dumplings. I also learned about how to make noodles from scratch without a noodle maker. It was quite an informative morning. I have to make tons of dumplings for all the upcoming Chinese New Year activities we have going on so this was a good time to learn more about the art of making dumplings.


Joseph: #36/365

This is a new game I made up called Army Cast.  It is a simple game for 2-4 people.  You have different color blocks and each person builds a castle with their color.  The colors are red, blue, yellow, and green.  You get 5 army men to hide in your castle.  Each person has 6 shots with a Nerf gun.  The person with the most army men left wins.

My friend is cutting up home-made noodles with a cleaver.  The dough is folded on itself several times.
