Dumplings
Hi again Hans Seeing you make those dumplings brings back memories of a dumpling party I went to in Chengdu at the hostel I stayed at. You look as skilled as I was in making Zongzi at my friend's home in Kaili (Guizhou) this past visit last June! Enjoy your visit home and be safe! Hugs Sue
