The Four Seasons in dumpling format
Kat had an idea. She wanted to make a dumpling to represent each of the four seasons. She can be easily discouraged, and almost gave up when she couldn't find recipes that matched her idea.
I work differently in the kitchen. I get an idea, look at other recipes for reference. Then modify them to fit my goal. She likes to be methodical, and trying her best to follow a recipe exactly. We had a small pep talk and I encouraged her to "get creative. make it taste like what you imagined". She spent some time and did eventually come up with her own four recipe variations.
four fillings...
Mrs. Holly helped stuff and fold the dumplings.
Kat made four different dumpling wrappers.
SUCCESS! Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring (top to bottom).
Congratulations to Kat. She had a unique idea and saw it through from concept to completion. We surely enjoyed the consumption.
The kitchen clean up also required a substantial effort...
