Who are these crazy fools below? You probably recognize Caitlin and I. The others are as such: Patrick in back right corner, his dad and mom across the table, and Alex in the front left. Patrick and Alex are both students in my program at Northwestern. You may remember Patrick from our Lost post a few weeks back. Since we are on spring break, we finally decided to party. Patrick's parents were in town, so we decided to up the ante on the festivities by making home made Asian dumplings!
A family that makes dumplings together, stays together. Trust me, this was a very wholesome activity.
Pork balls and beef balls. We also had shrimp balls, but they are not pictured.
Caitlin was the master at doing the fan fold which we had designated for the beef dumplings.
Patrick's cat, Sterling, (separated by commas because he has two cats) was all depressed because we wouldn't let his kitty paws get involved. He watched angrily from the sidelines. 
Patrick's mom was the master of the dumpling boiling, as seen pictured above. While she had to admit that a few of our dumplings had not been sealed appropriately (flowing meet balls in water), the majority turned out fantastique!
Look how much fun they're having! Please note that diet orange soda was the popular drink of the evening and the Griffiths family strongly suggests you give it a chance (particularly Diet Sunkist).
Seriously, they turned out awesome. I fully enjoyed every morsel. I think pork was my favorite. 
Then we hit Guitar Hero World Tour with fierceness. Patrick was able to beat a few songs on Expert with the drums. The parentals did what parentals do best when they watch their adult children act so serious over video games. They laughed. Hard.
Yeah, we performed Parabola by tool. I would venture to say that that song might be one of the least performed songs on the set, but probably my favorite song. There's a good chance Alex's laughter is one of mockery at me, not enjoyment. I can't verify that.

Hi Mulcocks! Happy St. Patty's Day. Would you mind sharing this dumpling recipe with your devoted readers? It looks delish!
Thanks,
Emily
The dumplings look better than those sketchy ones you and Craig used to get in Chinatown. Caitlin is really classing you up.
