I start early because I am early! It's the end of the week! Let Joy and Celebration be unconfined!

Come and tell me--what progress have you made towards your goals this week? Finances OR frugal living, or even buying something that you've saved up towards!

Oooh, wontons! Did you make them from scratch? Soup or fried?

I adore wonton soup and have never been able to get the hang of making it (plus I don't much like frozen wontons, so I'd have to learn to make the wontons AND the broth).

Well I wanted to see how those wonton wrappers worked, so I bought a package... everything else I did from scratch (including farmer's market "happy" pork).

There's an entry on my journal, go HERE to check it out.

I used mushrooms and green onions for the broth (with the help of some soya sauce and sesame oil) so it's a little darker than the usual takeout.... but it is LOADS OF DELICIOUS.

I figure you can also make veggie wontons with TVP provided you still use egg white as a binder and make really sure that your pockets are sealed.

Oooh, that looks fantastic. *memories*

It's always worth adding a new recipe whenever you start feeling bleah about your cooking... it sure perked me right up!! I'm still obviously not a meat-eater though... I hardly ever cook it, and I've made wontons two weeks in a row and boy, my stomach can tell the difference....
