Yes it is good summer soup - I imagine all the ginger would be good for colds too. Yes, it would be good to have that coffee - email me when you are settled back home!<BR/><BR/>thanks Holler - so kind of you to give me an award - I would recommend these wanton dumplings - they aren't too difficult <BR/><BR/>Thanks eat me delicious - pumpkin is one of my favourite vegetables which is one of the reasons I wanted to make these - so yet I agree with you about the pumpkin!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-7292876617352659682008-02-19T18:00:00.000+11:002008-02-19T18:00:00.000+11:00Your dumplings are beautiful!
