I have never managed to make a decent dumpling. This is fantastic!

Oh yum! Good thing you're not a cannibal. I could just hear, "save the skin and bones in your freezer for stock!" LOL

I haven't made their turkey sausage, but the chicken-basil-sun dried tomato sausage is excellent. I don't use as much pork fat as they do though. The sausages grills up very well. Now that you are mentioning it, I might have to make up another batch soon.

I really love your blog. It's so informational and inspiring! The pics and step-by-step is fantastic.

I just hosted a big 4th shindig for my kids and their friends. Was going to do burgers and dogs on the grill, but we're at a stage 2 fire ban and no grilling allowed, even with gas grills on private property.

The kids found out I'd been down into the big city at the Asian Market (about 40 miles away, I go maybe 3 times a year and stock up) and demanded an Asian feast. LOL---gah!

Spent two days making dumplings, egg rolls, crab rangoon, sesame beef, sweet and sour pork, pearl balls and cashew chicken. Got to try out some Basmati rice (which for a change I bought in a 12-lb bag), and so glad I did.

I've never seen prettier or fluffier rice! All the boys' friends looked at me like I was a lunatic when I raved about the quality, but my guys are well trained and praised it along with me.

It was "the most beautiful!", "most delicately and lightly fluffy!" and "if it was a girl I'd marry it!" kind of rice.

Well hell, they know the drill. Two days worth of work was demolished in 30 minutes. LOL

Thanks for being such an inspiration! Most days I'd just as soon give them Hamburger Helper. ;-)

I like how well the pot is secured to the stand. I have an older fryer and it is not as stable as that. The turkey holder has also been updated. Mine is similar to a pasta pot with an insert that has lost of holes.

One thing I do is to cover the propane line near the stand with foil. Sometimes the oil spits out a little and that seems like a good way to protect the line. Not sure if it helps, but I don't think it hurts.

Mmm! I love those. Made them for our kids on special days. Still have them for dinner on occasion when the oook can't come up with anything brilliant.
