Consider the dumpling


Pride comes before a fall...


But the shrimp and chive, and parsley and green onion dumplings were a great success.


Mostly.

 Work in progress.

There's gotta be a way to make it work.

Baie impressive. Sou dit 'n eier dumpling wees?

Egg-cellent effort. And so much more delicate than the DUMP-lings I had at a Germanesque eatery recently. They brought back all the gooey stomach-filling memories of the chicken-stew dumplings of my youth.

Would it be wrong to have those for breakfast? It is breakfast time in Cape Town and I have a sudden uncontrollable urge for dumplings.

Really looks absolutely delicious and beautifully made!

jvdh - ja, eiers is baie evocative...

Frank - yes, I think just sticking the wrappers' edges together is the trick.

webb - it was fun, and messy eating!

arcadia - dit sou inderdaad :-)

Janet - my youth was dumplingless. Sniff.

wild rose - ha...here in NYC's Chinatown, dim sum dumplings are intended for breakfast, though it takes some getting used to.
