一路发粽子

 Dumplings time is here again as I will be very busy for the next two weekends I decided to make the dumplings earlier.

Here there are many things to be prepared a day ahead. Soaking the beans overnight.

Mum - My greatest help. without her I cant possiblity make the dumplings myself.


Batches and batching. Steaming and steaming. the dumplings required 2 hrs of cooking. This tower steamer was brought over from mum place for such special event. A very good steamer that is as old as my youngest sister.


168 dumplings. We marked each year with a new records. Two colors strings to differential between chestnut and black eye bean dumplings. I still prefer the dumplings with black eye beans.

I always dream to go for it but I hate running/jogging. I dun have the stamina to do even a 1km run. How to go for 10km? I must be crazy!

Furthermore, he will be walking and not jogging, which is same as me. WALKING. We started late because we waiting for you and me.
