I started this blog for when I was teaching in China. Then I moved to Hong Kong and taught second grade for five years. After seven years in Asia, it was time for me to return to my country. These are my adventures of living, working and repatriating myself.

Making Dumplings
I watched and helped make dumplings. This is a different style of dumplings. Instead of using rice or wheat flour to wrap your meat and vegetables or sugar in you use a taro root and flour base. They were tasty. One tradition I noticed was before each meal fireworks are lit.
How fun! Was it for a special holiday or are fireworks just a part of making dumplings? You look really cute in your white coat (and your black coat with the hood, for that matter). Dumplings are really popular here, too, but the shell is more like a noodle.

This looks really fun! You should post some recipes if you have any. I'm always on the lookout for good healthy asian food.

I think the fireworks before meals has to do with the Spring Festival or CHinese NEw Year.
Christine? Is this the Christine I know from my Central days at the music department?
