Dumplings!

We went to Chicago to be with Ben's family for the first half of break, and while there we went to his friend Tim's house to learn how to make dumplings!


Actually, we didn't really learn to make dumplings so much as we watched Tim and his mom make perfect dumplings while we mauled everything we touched.


In the space of time it took Ben and I to carefully form one hideously lumpy dumpling that fell apart as soon as we set it down, Tim and his mom could each turn out like 20 beautiful ones. After much effort, Ben was able to at least roll out a somewhat decent wrapper:


Despite our incompetence we were eventually able to produce a steaming plate full of intact dumplings, but at that point we were too busy gorging ourselves to take more pictures. They were insanely delicious and Ben and I have grand plans to make them ourselves at home, so stay tuned for a post wherein we destroy our entire kitchen and cover ourselves in dough in a misguided dumpling quest!
