Eat for Eight Bucks: Dumplings Two Ways, with Freestyle Dipping Sauce

Yes! This is exactly the sort of recipe I like, especially the shopping list, photographed procedure and the leftovers bit. More like this one please!

Very pretty, and definitely worth acquiring as an art object, but I hope there's no advocacy of using it to cut things on. Glass is the worst thing you can possibly make a cutting board out of and will destroy your knives quite handily. Wood or plastic only please.

Initial Reactions to New Starbucks Brew

I didn't think they could really change that much; I mean, it's a cup of coffee, not a particularly sophisticated recipe, but... wow. I got a large this morning, and I was just wired! It even tasted pretty good too!

Normally I tend to shun Starbucks, but if every coffee wakes me up like that one, I think I'll have to change my ways...

Quick nitpicking: pomegranates don't have seeds. They have arils. Just as tasty, but slightly weirder.

@Chew on That - Yes, chicken would would just as well. Ground turkey, also, though it tends to get a little more chewy.

@Jolivore - Interesting. Would you eat dry pasta? Or frozen puff pastry? Or, for that matter, homemade dumpling wrappers kept in your own freezer? What is it that you object to in the short-term (or indefinite, in the case of dry spaghetti) preservation of dough?

I wouldn't eat frozen wrappers any more than I'd eat frozen pasta. I was just in China and the eye-opener was the fresh, just made dumplings and noodles. So good!

Please don't do the pineapple on the hamburger thing - it is gross and most Australian's stopped befouling their food in such ways in the 80's. You are far more likely to be served a steaming bowl of ginger broth with dumplings like this these days in Australia!!

My stomach is growling. I don't think I'd make it through crimping 100 of those without a good lot of people helping out . . . but I've got a little "dumpling press" that I picked up God knows where that makes the job easier.

Dear Serious Eats: 'Check Out My Halloween Costume!'

I love the purse!

I'm going to have to agree with Vincci though, remember the year when Memoires of a Geisha came out and thus everyone was a "geisha" for
Halloween?

Dear Serious Eats: 'Check Out My Halloween Costume!'

I think I need to side with Vincci. It's a very well-made costume, but it seems a little culturally ignorant.

Dear Serious Eats: 'Check Out My Halloween Costume!'

The costume IS super-cute but as a Chinese person, it makes me cringe a little how she paired a Chinese qipao with a Japanese sushi costume!

Cool and very creative. I definitely saw you last night waiting of the 6 train platform!

Baking with Dorie: Gourmandise

I haven't looked recently, but my guess is that Kalustyan's would have it - they've got a great selection of spices.

Anyone know of a good (and affordable) place to buy Aleppo in NYC?

Hungrychristel, those are currants, indeed.

Cathy, I think a little Aleppo pepper, which I love, could be nice with the pineapple.

Dksbook, I don't know much about San Antonio food, but if it's a pomegranate town, the food's gotta be good!

Robonations, thank you -- I had no idea!
