I guess I waited a long time to try making dumplings, but you can’t find dumpling wrappers in this backward town. I finally ordered them from Amazon, which required express shipping because the post office can’t be trusted anymore (that … Continue reading Pork Dumplings–Yum 😋
I finally had to try Hawaiian pizza because the debate on Twitter made me curious. How bad could pineapple–the crux of all the arguments–really be on a pizza? It seemed to me that it would be lighter than most cheesy/garlicky/greasy … Continue reading 👍 Hawaiian Pizza
I guess I did wait a long time to try my hand at tamales—I’m 70—but I have thought about them a lot. I just never did much steaming and that is what kind of kept me away from them, that … Continue reading First-Time Tamales
