One of the many dim sum dumplings I love are the pork and coriander steamed dumplings.

The pot sticker version with home made hot water dough wrappers are less fiddly to make and a large batch can be free flow frozen.

Which reminds me, I need to make another batch, supplies are running low!

The green is due to exposure to the exposure to the sun.

If you decide to leave them in the ground to grow on, cover them deeply.

Why do puppies love chewing their leads??

This lead has survived three puppyhoods - our late border collie springer spaniel cross, Brittany spaniel/labrador cross and our current cavalier king Charles.

The latter chews through his stuffed toys until he reaches the stuffing and then pulls it all out.

He gets very impatient when I patch the toys and supervises me closely.

[quote=Anne Miller]That looks yummy.  Is it a British dish?[/quote]

Roast dinners are very British - roast beef, leg of lamb, duck, geese etc.

NZ being a British colony follows the tradition of family roast dinners at the weekend - even in an immigrant Chinese family as a child.

Having lived with a Brit for 46 years, we have continued the tradition for just the two of us but not every weekend!

The leek and potato gratin is a Sophie Grigson recipe from many decades ago, cauliflower cheese is a very traditional British vegetable dish - a roux with lots of sharp cheddar poured over steamed cauliflower and baked in the oven with the chicken.

The potatoes are thinly sliced and layered in the baking disk with steamed leeks, seasoned with salt pepper, garlic and generous drizzles of olive oil.
