Our first harvest

Among the tomatoes, zucchini and peppers, we grew string beans. The kids were excited to see them grow.



Chicken and string beans in a brown sauce. Solid!



And the end results with veggies.
This picture says it all!

It was 14 years ago...

Greg and Tracie had a FULL ON DISPLAY of public affection.

Kc was all about getting the fire works on video. (if only we had an iphone)

Stephanie had short hair.
and I wore those teva sandals and mesh hat... which I still wear today.


HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Trader Joe's Thai Shrimp Dumplings



Fried Dumplings (refuse to call them pot stickers!) in less than 10 minutes. From the freezer on to your plate.

Throw as many dumplings as you want into the microwave to 'thaw' them.
2 minutes.

*they're precooked.

Once out of the microwave, you can eat them (kinda like a steamed dumpling) or give them a little crisp.

How?
Put some oil in a pan and throw them in. Let them sit for a few seconds. (until the skin turns a light brown).
Once the 'crisp' is to your liking, you're done.

Enjoy!
Dumpling sauce goes great with them.

Trade Joe's Thai Shrimp Dumplings only costs $5. I think there are a few dozen in there.
Kids love it. Quick eats.
