Pot Stickers

I made pot stickers from scratch tonight! Well, kind of. I did buy the wonton wrappers at a chinese market a couple of weeks ago. They turned out really good and were surprisingly easy. I made a pork filling with cabbage, green onions, garlic and mushroom. You just put a scant teaspoon in the middle of the wrapper, wet the edges, fold it over and seal. Then you fry them in a tiny bit of vegetable oil until one side is golden, flip, add 1/2 cup water, cover and steam until all the water is absorbed. I have wanted to make these for years, but really thought it was above my skill level. I would have taken pictures, but the men in this house were eating them as fast as I was pulling them out. I'm gonna have to start branching out.
We also bought seeds to start in the house. I am so glad Iz knows what the heck he's doing when it comes to growing things! Last year was so rewarding having all of our vegetable fresh and from our own hard work. This year we have an even bigger area for a garden and we got the right cucumbers so I can make pickles! Now, if I can just be patient and not plant everything too early like the first round last year ;)
Megan and Mark are going home to Hawaii tomorrow. Dang those kids have gotten so big and so incredibly cute! I really miss not having them here. But, I know they will be back in May so I will have to spoil them again then.
Guess I better go coral the boys to get the room and bathroom clean. Til next time!!!
