So... Whats for lunch?

[Lise]

Hey 49er.

  Yes, I know but I'm not telling my husband. Hehe. Called lard. That's why I buy the frozen ones so I can steam them at home without the lard to make them plump and glistening.

  But ssssshhhh..... don't tell him otherwise I can't eat dim sum for life.    

[Sportsdude]

hehehe lise that's funny.  

[49er]

Hiya All!..........yes hargow is shrimp dumplings.........unless in the more expensive dim sum restaurants the bulk of the stuffing is pork  

[Lise]

The skin is sometimes coated with lard.

  Which brings me to a most important question, do you eat the skin first like me?  

[Lil Me]

 It's not lying unless you are asked a direct question.

  hargow..yummy.  Heya 49er.  

Superstore is worst during the day before school starts.  Almost all the parents do their school supplies shopping on that weekend before school starts.  MADNESS!  I learned my lesson.

I actually don't mind the quick checkouts over at Superstore.  It seems to be quicker than the aisles.  
   

[Lil Me]

 no, I take bites of the whole thing.  I get mad at my kids for dissecting their dimsum!

 Hell no.....I pop the whole thing in my mouth

[Lise]

Yes. It would be funny to scan a huge box of diapers at the express counter.

  Lil Me. Dissecting dim sum is half the fun!! I always reserve the shrimp for later. That's the best part. Not to mention the chilli sauce that coats half my dumplings..... man, I'm hungry already.

Oh, hey Lise.  I brought that Western Family lasagna and I have to say that it's yummy.  Thanks for the recomendation.  Oh darn, and I forgot to check out the coffee beans for PC.  Drat!  I knew that I had to do something... AARGH!    

[Lise]

Do you guys like the sui mai? I miss those. Man, do I really miss those. *sigh*

  My favorite are those chicken feet. I go nuts over them. Can't leave the restaurant without getting my chicken feet. *slurp*  

[purelife]

Have you tried the T&T ones yet?  I haven't but will one day soon.  I like their goyza.  Yum.  

[Lise]

Yeah, the WF brand isn't bad especially for the lasagne, purelife. If I'm super lazy and I'm having people over I get the bigger brand. Serve that with salad. Easy.  

[Lise]

Yes, I've tried the dim sum at T&T. Teh gross. But cheap. $2.50 for four is cheap but you pay for what you get.

[purelife]

 Oh, I miss the variety of dim sum... I haven't had it for a looong time.  Pink Pearl restaurant in Vancouver has some tasty sui mai and dim sum.
