Store bought dumpling wrapper verdict

Store bought dumpling wrappers win hands down over homemade for convenience, plus they make a pretty presentation. They tasted just as good as homemade, but I had a problem with my potstickers actually sticking to the pan, and I lost a few of the little fellas whose wrappers tore. The brand of wrappers I used was Gyoza.

What a great blog! Not only does it chronicle a trip, it also shows how you have infused the culture into the classroom and everyday life! What a great resource. I can't wait to go on a trip abroad and start my own blog! Wonderful blog!!

Thanks Brittany! This experience has shown me how powerful blogs can be as a teaching tool and, as you said, to chronicle experiences. I'm planning a family trip to Ireland later this year and I plan to blog about that too!

Awesome blog!! I have always wanted to go to China and just going through the blog and seeing pictures and talking about the culture like the food part is so awesome. This is something that I would show to my middle school students that I teach whenever we are on China, because they would love it!! Like Brittany said, I am ready to study abroad and record it on a blog for many people to see!

This is a fantastic blog! Now I want to visit China and all of that authentic Chinese food looks absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with Chinese culture with us. A lot of these resources you've shared are really helpful and informative. This information would have come in very handy when I was working with a 7th grade geography class! They LOVED learning about different cultures!

Thanks for checking out our blog. I don't think I can take a trip abroad now without reflecting and sharing my experience. I was in Ireland with another colleague recently and we created: http://usaeyesonireland.blogspot.com/

Thanks! It is resource I rely on Deborah. Peggy and I just finished two papers related to Chinese culture and it is nice to reference blog posts with links.
