Like us, everyone seems to enjoy pot stickers. Whether an appetizer or an entire meal, the special flavors are enticing. Pot stickers are part of the larger family of Asian dumplings, and just one of the many small bites that might be part of a dim sum experience.

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we consider a few Asian specialties from the dumpling family with three fillings that demonstrate three shapes, and three different cooking methods. We have Pork and Cabbage "half moons" that are boiled, Vegetable "big hugs" that are steamed, and Beef and Scallion "pleated crescents" that are panfried. You'll find out just how easy and delicious they are to make at home!

We'd like to take this time to THANK YOU for making our Bring a Bag, Feed a Family campaign such a huge success! Since beginning the effort in late 2009, you have helped us raise over $1924.35 for the Greensboro Urban Ministry's Food Bank!

Every time a customer makes a purchase and brings their own shopping bag, a dime is put in the "Feed a Family" cookie jar. The contents of the jar are then donated to the Greensboro Urban Ministry Food Bank. This allows us to help the environment by using fewer disposable bags, and also help Greensboro's families in need!
