Popo gets inspiration

BH's (Better Half's) Mom is here for a while. Chinese grandma's come in two varieties - Jya Po and A Po (Bower romanization - Google won't translate sounds into ideographs yet). One is mother's mother and the other is father's mother. Both are shortened to Popo for children.

So, FOD (Favorite Older Daughter) now lives in Houston. We took Popo down there to see her, since she loves her Popo dearly. We went to the Ocean Palace Restaurant to have dim sum. We had a pretty good time and got pretty much stuffed.

When we got home, Popo got the idea to make potstickers and Gow Ju. So our kitchen became a bit of a factory, with BH and Popo rolling out home-made wrappers for the potstickers, stuffing them with pork/shrimp/scallion mix, steaming, then frying them. Then the Gow Ju were made with store-bought wrappers, and steamed. Everything was enjoyed with lots of soy sauce laced with scallion and sesame oil. Yum!
