i have a new friend and one of the things we like doing is being psychic.
said i on january 24th: hey, do you have plans not this tuesday but the one after? bonus points if you can figure out why i'm asking.
said he: you're not going to believe this, but i was totally going to suggest watching that movie, too!
so, on february 2nd, i brought over "groundhog day." before we watched the movie, though, we headed out to the grocery store to get what we needed to make pork and leek dumplings. see, he'd hilariously suggested that we cook something with "ground hog." i had amusingly joked that the store would be sold out of minced pork because everyone would be doing the same thing that day.
and it was!
or maybe it just doesn't carry it? anyway, in order to mimic the tasty concoctions of the working class foodies (see video below), we bought plain pork sausages (and de-sausaged them), leeks, green onions, ginger, and wonton wrappers. we combined the meat with soy sauce and the veggies, loaded the goods into the wrappers (carefully but not super neatly!), and then boiled them for 8-10 minutes.
we dipped our delectable little parcels into a vinegar-soy-ginger-green onion sauce. and sighed and self-congratulated and went back for more. and watched bill murray repeat the same day over and over again.
and you know what? it was a day worth repeating.

I wasn't even thinking of watching Groundhog Day on Groundhog Day, but your second last post told me to and then it was on TV so I did. =) I like how the trailer promises that this movie is coming soon to a theatre near me.
Your dumplings sound fantastic, and I'm glad you had a good day with a friend.
I was thinking of calling you today, but then I fell asleep. What are you up to tomorrow?
