dumplings

[alexist]

last week's NYT restaurant review had me craving dumplings. They reviewed a Ukrainian place in Brighton Beach that did 9 kinds of vareniki. Mmm. (Plus several kinds of pelmeni, meat dumplings, but it was the thought of cherry vareniki that did it for me.)

I know how to do those (OK, kreplach, which are basically the same thing but triangular; less work with the cutting and folding) but I don't have the space :( (you need room to roll out the dough!) Or sour cherry filling, which is one of my favourites. Kreplach, boiled, fried in butter and served with sour cream: one of the best, most fattening dishes ever. I like a potato and farmer cheese filling with onions.

Dumplings are one of the greatest foods ever. I've always loved them. Kreplach, wonton, ravioli, gyoza, it's all good.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! BTW, been reading your postings - sleepy, cravings and nausea - you're about as subtle as a 10 ft neon sign.

*LOL* I know... (soemone else said 'subtle as a brick') but I'm so used to just posting stream-of-consciousness ;) Still holding off on the official announcement though ;-)
