Beautiful. Those dumplings are SO cute! My partner will start to notice that our fridge is getting bare..."um, should we run to the store?" and my answer is "no! I like the challenge!!"
I rarely buy cookbooks but I got Salt and Time from the library and knew it was something I would like to have live with me. I can recommend Andrea Nguyen's Asian Dumplings as another book so full of good it's overwhelming. So many of your experiences resonate with me, as a person who lives in a tourist city and struggles with grace, as a person whose compost heap feeds a lot of creatures, as a person with fear and hope. I'm gonna finally pony up and upgrade to paid. Keep on doing, we're listening.
Oh my heart thank you. And off to buy the Andrea Nguyen dumpling book -- I love her work. One of my happiest dumpling memories is making dumplings and egg rolls the night before my college bestie's wedding -- her Chinese inlaws had us all in an assembly line, and hilarity ensued.
I love the way you take care of your little patch of the earth. I 've been noodling around with Marxist theory -- separating the people from the means of production -- and thinking about how that has come to fruition in the age of the American plutocracy.
The promise of America has never truly been achieved but in those post WWII years it seemed like it might come close now I feel like in very real sense the Plutocracy will stop at nothing to increase their means at the expense of everything else, including the earth.
A lot of this project came out of very explicit anti-consumerist/post-hippie thinking along socialist lines of how we can build community systems of care. You might take a look at The Good Life by Helen and Scott Nearing. Scott Nearing was an early 20th C pacifist and socialist -- and because Eliot Coleman trained under him, there's a direct link in much of the organic gardening/farming community to those traditions.
Mashed potatoes can go in samosas, too. Here are some easy samosa recipes. https://www.veganricha.com/#search/q=samosa

Dumpling based intimacy!

Also! Hooray for the LF > socialism pipeline!
