Market Watch for 2010

The Grateful Dumpling is riding off into the sunset, and down to what may very well be our final big-city FM for this year. The big city gig is slated to end in September, but we have relatives visiting over the weekend, which means we cannot make dumplings, and then we are going on a much needed vacation.

It therefore looks like this coming market may be our last for the big city. I am approaching it with mixed emotions. On the one hand, I'll be sad to say goodbye to all of the friends that we've made, and hope to see them again soon, or at least next year.

On the other hand, I would also welcome a break from all this dumpling-making. R and I said it before, but we enjoy the market, especially the camaraderie amongst the vendors, and even the selling of the dumplings isn't bad. The time, however, that it takes to make all those little tasty morsels is staggering. Somehow we have to come up with a solution if this is going to keep going.

Whatever be the case, just wanted to extend a goodbye and thank-you to all of our friends at the big city market.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to ilker for the pic.
