Yesterday we made dumplings from scratch. We also boiled live crabs in the wok. The low point for Roger was when he found out he had been eating crab sperm. The high point for me was learning how to make this awesome vermicelli noodle dish with stir fried pork and shredded cucumbers.

In the picture, that's our Chinese neighbor and good friend on the far left. We call her "Iverson" because she's infatuated with the basketball player. In the middle is Iverson's home town friend, who's nickname is "Camel" in Chinese. The two are both about to go home together for Chinese New Year. Right of my brother is Rachel, the lead chef in the dumpling venture. She's super chill.
