Thank you to those who expressed interest in my Mom’s #VeryAsian (guo tei) dumpling recipe. I’m sharing her handwritten notes (which are a treasure for me). They’re best-suited for Chinese New Year’s Eve but anytime is a good time to devote a day to making & devouring them.

My brother taught his daughters how to make our late Mom’s #VeryAsian dumplings on New Year’s Day and I couldn’t be prouder. I won’t apologize for being Very Asian, just like I’m certain the caller won’t apologize for being Very Racist.

Jordan Subban saw what he saw and reacted to it based on having endured it far too many times in his life. Whataboutists/apologists comparing the offender’s racist gesture to Tom Wilson’s penalty box flex are oblivious, at best, and telling on themselves, at worst.
