Welcome to Litsy!

My little dumpling takes a literal turn. It reminded me of Into the Night Kitchen.

4 ⭐ This book was really fun. Child is going on adventure tomorrow to the dim sum palace. They have never been and they dream at night of going to this palace and getting stuck in the food and becoming dinner. The real palace is nothing like their dreams but the food is even better.

#NovemberNarrative Day 18: this lovely picturebook about an Asian American girl won the New Voices, New World contest as it captures the experience of ‘honoring a mixed heritage‘, the sense of pride in celebrating family traditions, and the comfort and joy of being home, surrounded by loved ones with lots of #Hugs.

Our bedtime read for the night! 🌃 My boys really enjoyed this one and it made me really want to order dumplings. 🥟🎆

What makes a Monday better? Dumplings and fried noodles from Din Tai Fung.

Who would have though a Michelin star restaurant would be in a mall?! It is so yummy!

I also stopped by the Amazon Bookstore and picked up The Testaments. I really didn‘t want to buy it from them but my local bookstore was out.

Super fun beginning chapter book, and it is part of a series.

We had a xiaolongbao (soup dumplings!) making class this morning and we made pork and mushroom dumplings! We were the only two in the class. It was so fun 🥟 and we ate all of these 😋 while chatting with CiCi, our wonderful teacher, about Shanghai, motherhood, education, academic pressures, chopsticks, marriage, independence, and travel. Most dumplings were steamed but some got fried up and topped with sesame seeds + green onions. YUM.
