That looks awesome Ness! Those carrots alone would send me over the edge!

As for the potstickers recipes guys..........I'm feelin the heat. I'll re-ask for the recipe. I did learn something from her family a few weekends ago. Southern China is all about the rice, and Northern China is all about the dough/noodles. That's where the potsticker Aunt is from. She taught my wife to make them. As far as I know she has never written the recipe down. Maybe that's why it's been taking this long!?

Love the noodles!

I tried making potstickers once -- they weren't all that good, so I never went to the effort again. A better recipe would help get me motivated.

I've never even eaten a potsticker. I need to have my kid bring me some home from work to try.

I love postickers but don't make them.  I love to take bone marrow out of whatever and spread it on a piece of meat.  Mmmmmmm good.  Going to make a ake and go dinner for my daughter and SIL today.  Will season a sear some chicken breasts in a skillet then toss then in crock pot with marinara sauce that I will upgrade to my taste.  That way they can eat it when get get home, just have to boil the linguini noodles and I will have all afternoon to do grampa stuff like teach him to make fart noises with his arm pit.

Last weekend I bought a frozen duck and stuck it in the refrigerator to thaw. Tonight I took it out and filleted the breasts off. Those I will sear on Friday (the next night that school activities do not prevent us from dining together.) The legs and thighs are scheduled to be confit on the weekend and then reserved for a cassoulet later. The remainder of the carcass and the offal went into the stock pot. The fat will be used at Thanksgiving and the stock also goes to the cassoulet.

For tonight I have a slow cooker New England boiled dinner on tap. Corned beef, carrots, onion, potatoes served with a simple side salad. The best part? The hash that comes later off the corned beef left over.

Have a great day everyone.

Are you certified to teach fart noises?

[MOPanfisher]

I don't think I am certified but I have lots of experience.

That duck sounds yummy.  Love making stock out of the carcass.  I usually deep.fry a turkey for thanksgiving, then drop the bones, and the carcass into a bot to boil with seasonings.  Kind of a pain to pick out all the little bones, but the result when either wild rice or egg noodles are added is often better than the turkey.

cassoulet ?

Don't know what that could be.

"Listening to a foodie is like watching The Food Network — it’s just just listening to someone gush about how good something tastes when you have literally no way of actually knowing just how good it actually is. You just have to sit their nodding approvingly while saying, “wow, that’s so awesome” while they drone on about their bone-in ribeye methodology that you’ll straight up never use

Foodies all function with the same modus operandi: they’d rather talk about their food instead of enjoy it; impress you with their vast culinary knowledge rather than be the strong, silent type. If I wanted to sit at a table and have someone describe the food to me, I’d go to Beni-fuckin’-hana. Call me a simpleton, but some people are more steak-and-potatoes kinda guys while others are “this sashimi platter is so well balanced” kinda guys. Me? I’m takin’ the former. "

"Life’s about the journey,Bro. Not the destination. But, there’s a group of people out there who fervently disagree with this notion. These people are worse than lumbersexuals, worse than mixologists, worse than people who go running by tailgates on Saturday mornings.

Foodies.

Now, Merriam-Webster defines a foodie as “a person with a particular interest in food; a gourmet.” I define foodies as “uppity dickheads who want to mentally put you on the ropes by talking about how ridiculous it is that California banned foie gras.”

You wanna tell me about the BBQ joint run out of a gas station that you went to in west Texas? Or how about the banh mi sandwich you had in ’06 at a San Francisco popup restaurant? That tickle your fancy, Bro? Well, not me. I’d rather listen to someone tell me about their fantasy football lineup dilemmas than listen to you jerk off the hipster chef that made you a grass-fed pork belly truffle-infused quesadilla at your favorite taqueria."

Hmm sort of like reading about other people catching fish, or watching a sport on tv.

But Joe, I thought these big cooking words would help me score more with babes! ?
