    Chinese Potstickers


    Potstickers are a Cheng family tradition. I learned from my parents. My father would hand make the dumpling skins, make the stuffing, and my mother would wrap. I learned to replicate the recipe, and now it is my hope that my two boys learn the recipe and then pass on to their children. The dumplings freeze nicely and are a great and fast meal. I made a time lapse of my efficiency of making Chinese dumplings also called Gyoza.

    Ave Maria

    I am very proud of my first cousin, Nancy, who has played music her adult life as the first violin at the Metropolitan Opera. She visited us and to encourage Jesse to keep playing cello, she sat down and played Ave Maria with him.

    My Beautiful Wife

    This year, Solange and I are married 17 years. It has been an incredible ride and I am so proud of my wife that is so beautiful inside and out. I found some photos Solange took a few years ago on an old SD chip. I started experimenting with Davinci Resolve which is an incredibly powerful free video editor and this is the result. For the soundtrack, I chose the song “Diga Sim” by Raça Negra. The name translates to “Say Yes”, and it is a sentimental song for me. When we were dating, Solange and I went on a cruise from Santiago, Chile to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and she played this CD every day. I am so happy that she said YES.

    1. Great. Happy anniversary. Now…STOP the stupid commercials. They are annoying and LOUD. And just because you have a “band” doesn’t mean you should use it to advertise this product. Good GAWD get over yourself. Have a professional create your ads. YOU are not qualified.

      1. Hi Cathie,
        Thanks for reaching out and providing feedback. By this time, the commercial should be off the air, although we have also received a lot of feedback so you can expect to see more of that commercial in the future.

      2. I thought his band was cute. Shows a real guy…His ads were genuine; he appealed to those who don’t need gltz and glamour to advertise his great all American product. He projected the American value of being himself, working hard, patriotic, and succeeding.

    At the end of March, my mother turned 90 and my father turned 95. We had a great family reunion. My nephew, Ryan, married a photographer and she made a video of the event. Grace is a great photographer and editor.
