Hi Michael,

 ML> Everyone's have, and there's no single cause unless you

 RH> I know but we were promised one set up with military retirement and
 RH> it's been changed--not in our favor. We're having to pay more when we

 ML> You should not be made to make additional sacrifices. But

I'm not going to get into a political discussion here, just say that
it's another broken promise.


 ML> I wonder what a week of having noodles for breakfast did for

Gee, I wonder why. (G) OTOH, I usually have some form of cheese with
most breakfast meals.

 ML> Asian dumplings have relatively nothing to do with European
 ML> dumplings, and why people use the same term for both is a
 ML> mystery to me.
 RH> More likely the lack of a precise term in the English translation to
 RH> cover it. So what's wrong with calling it by it's original foreign
 RH> language name?

 ML> Partially that there are bunches of original foreign names,
 ML> and someone tried to normalize mandu, manti, guoteh, gyoza,
 ML> pelmenyi, and pierogi (with all sorts of variant spellings)
 ML> under the word "dumplings." Normalizations generally are
 ML> imperfect.

To us, as English speakers, yes but they are very understood in the
native lanugage of the one making a particular form of dumpling. It just
adds to the language when a foreigh word is adopted into the general
English language--a lot better than words like "selfie".

 ML> Classic Nepali momo
 ML> categories: Nepal, dumplings, starter
 ML> Yield: 1 batch

 ML> Dough for wrappers
 ML> 5 c all-purpose flour
 ML> 1 Tb oil
 ML> Water as required
 ML> 1 pn salt
 ML> Filling
 ML> 2 lb lean ground lamb/pork
 ML> 1 c red onion, finely chopped
 ML> 1/2 c green onion, finely chopped
 ML> 1/2 c fresh cilantro, finely chopped
 ML> 1 Tb fresh garlic, minced
 ML> 1 Tb fresh ginger, minced
 ML> 1/4 ts timur (Szechwan pepper)
 ML> 1/4 ts nutmeg, grated
 ML> 1/4 ts turmeric
 ML> 1 Tb curry powder, meat masala or momo masala
 ML> 3 fresh red chilies, minced, or as desired
 ML> 3 Tb cooking oil
 ML> s, p

Looks good but would have to leave out the cilantro for Steve's sake.
I'd probably sub in a touch more of some of the other spices tho. Looks
like it would be a light up the mouth and all the way down to the
stomach dumpling.
