New Year’s Day we decided to take the bus to Fisherman’s Wharf and hop on a ferry to Angel Island for a hike. There were no ferries to Angel Island that day though, because it was a holiday. Oh well. We walked around the piers instead, watching people fishing and illegally trapping Dungeness crabs.
After our walk, we headed back home. I made a batch of the Thom family dumplings with the ingredients I bought the previous day. The rest of the Thom Dumpling Machine probably thinks I wasn’t paying attention to how it’s done, because my designated role as Fry Guy keeps me pretty busy… but I was watching! The most difficult part, indeed, turned out to be the frying. I didn’t have the temperature-controlled electric frypans, so I was using regular skillets on a gas grill. It took a while to figure out how to get the temperature just right. Some of the dumplings turned out a bit “Cajun style.” They were still popular though!
Those dumplings look like toasted pierogies =P
yes, but they taste much better 😛 they have ground pork, spinach, garlic, chinese vinegar, and soy sauce inside.
How dare you question the greatness of pierogies!?
WE SHALL JOUST!
Our weapons shall be a Ukrainian Pierogie of Absolute Awesomeness for me and a Thom Dumpling for you!
i choose to eat my weapon with a bit of sriracha chili sauce.
