Dumplings for all


We went back to Din Tai Fung tonight for dinner and the kids could not get enough of the pork dumplings.  After two baskets, of ten dumplings each, Kate still wanted more!  The kids also enjoyed watching the chefs make the dumplings.  We found out tonight that this is a chain restaurant and one is opening soon in Seattle.


We have been encouraging the kids to try new foods by giving them points for each new food that they try (I wish I could say I came up with this on my own).  Once they earn ten points, they can get an ice cream.  This has been super successful and the kids are trying most everything.  At breakfast this morning, Emma and I tried sweet potatoes in coconut milk....neither of us liked it!  Jeff is trying new things too and really seems to enjoy the Taiwan beer.  He is only two points away from earning an ice cream.

  1. Have Jeff drink a bottle of ginseng and he should earn at least 20 points. Gramps
