Me: (through bathroom door) “Glad you’re enjoying your long bath. Time to wash your hair.”
Danger Monkey, age 9: “No, hair washing comes at the end.”
Me: “Yes. This is the end.”
DM: “It feels more like the middle.”
Me: “End.”
DM: “Now I’ll never know how long it takes to turn into a dolphin.”
Me: “There’s always tomorrow night.”
I’m having some weird back pains, so I checked WebMD.
Apparently, I’m in the final stages of Diphtheria and I’m pregnant with twins.
It was nice knowing you all.
I freely admit — I buy frozen pot-stickers just as an excuse to make this sauce. I could swim in this stuff. I’m naming it after myself because clearly I am a Master Chef and no one has EVER combined these ingredients like this in the history of cooking.
Very Vocal Viking’s Potsticker Dipping Sauce
Ingredients:
1/2 c soy sauce
1/4 c rice wine vinegar
1/4 c rice wine
2 crushed clove garlic
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely diced (or 1/4 tsp of ginger powder)
1 green onion, finely chopped
Chili oil or Red Pepper Flake (to taste)
Directions:
1) Add all ingredients in a bowl.
2) Heat briefly in microwave (30 seconds at most.)
3) Stir to blend all the flavors.
4) Try to not drink it immediately, i.e. save some for the potstickers.
5) Dip potstickers into sauce and enjoy.
6) Eat as many as you can before the kids figure out you have them
