Last year (or was it the year before?) they were demonstrating how to prepare an octopus. I think you bash it against a rock?!

Dumplings were pretty good. I have to get out of the habit of buying the leanest mince possible though, I always forget when it comes to dumplings. I think they just need a little bit of that fat, for the texture.

Okies, maybe I should try to get ready for work. It's really hot already and it's not even 9:00 am - now there's an incentive to get into the airconditioning!

Ok I have to see this show. For the readers mud bugs are a kind of shellfish. Not a bug, bug.




I do not know anything about bashing an octopus. Not my thing. If I have to kill it I will not deal with it at all.

Using some fat content in the dumpling meat is a good idea. When I have done them on the fly I use ground pork, fresh grated ginger root, minced garlic, scallions, a little soy, a little rice vinegar. Not bad but it needs work.
