One of the many stumbling blocks that we encountered in our many adventures of dumpling making was finding the darn ingredients. Fresh local veggies were only available at certain times of the year, and beef required a bit of a jaunt over to Pomfret. Market sources of beef were unreliable, but one of the biggest hassles was getting the wrappers. We went to the local Asian market but they weren’t always open when they said they’d be, the never seemed to answer their phone, and on some occasions, they were out. Needless to say, this left us in a bit of a bind, because we needed those wrappers.
Well, I happened to be shopping at Stern’s, and noticed that someone was buying the very same dumpling wrappers. I looked in the cooler, and sure enough, they carried them, and they were cheaper. I asked the owner if they could get cases, and she said they could.
Now, we have to decide if we’re going to keep doing this, but this is definitely a development in a positive direction, maybe even a sign?
Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to lekyu for the pic.
