Curried Pork Potstickers with Soy-Ginger Dipping Sauce by Mary Anne & Mariel | Epicurious Community Table. Mariel here. Many moons ago, my husband and I spent an incredible year living in Hong Kong. We were in our mid-20s, unmarried and unmoored from all those wonderful anchors of adulthood. Feeling restless and in search of adventure, we both decided to part with our jobs and experience life away from the east coast, so we bought plane tickets and booked a hotel room in Causeway Bay…for 3 nights.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that’s the extent of our pre-departure plan-making. It turned out to be one of the best years of our entire lives and later, after returning to New York, we flew back to Hong Kong to get engaged. For me, it’s a magical place. It’s also the place where I cultivated a deep and abiding love for dumplings. You can’t throw a stone in Hong Kong without hitting a delicious dim sum dive; there is no visiting this sparkling city without partaking in some sort of dumplinged lunch, brunch or dinner.

I’ve been a fan of New England Cheesemaking Supply ever since I picked up a copy of Ricki Carroll’s book, Home Cheese Making . Having followed her instructions for everything from 30-minute Mozzarella to Halloumi to Manchego, my copy of her book is proudly well-worn. I asked Jeri Case at New England Cheesemaking if she would help put together a guest post on cheesemaking, and she was happy to oblige!

We want to take this opportunity to tell you that you don’t have to be a gourmet cook to make your own cheese. In fact, just recently we received a recipe from one of our customers, Nancy Ferland, which will be featured in our November Moosletter. This recipe is absolutely foolproof! So, try it and we think you’ll be hooked. A Simple Little Cheese Be sure not to use “ultra-pasteurized” milk. The best taco seasoning recipe ever. Recipage. 100 Calorie Snacks.
