One of my favorite things that I learned from my dad was how to make wontons. We’d sit there watching basketball and making wontons. Tough to do these days because it does take a while to prep and make. I prepped while the husband took the toddler out on errands. Then made while she napped, and listened to the game on the radio in the background (Michigan vs. Duke, I think. They’re all running into each other). I even ran out of wrappers and literally ran to the store to get more.

I made two packages of wontons worth, enough for dinner tonight, and 3-4  future dinners. Or nice gifts for friends & family (they are so impressed when really they’re pretty easy to make). Once the manual labor  is done it’s a cinch to throw the frozen wontons into some boiling water to make an easy meal. I season the water with soy, sesame oil, some ginger root and scallions. Not exactly SBD-friendly (the wrappers aren’t, but everything else is legit), but I was pretty good the rest of the day/weekend that I approved this breaking of the rules.

I added a quick vegetable stir fry to complete tonight’s meal.

I cooked two dinners in a row! When was the last time THAT happened?
