Happy Thanksgiving all…this is Tim, Mary Ann’s husband and Vice-President of Michigan Global Trade LLC. I am always behind the scenes working on items including videos, blogs, and financials. I figured now was a good time as ever to introduce myself as I am about to promote the wonders of dumplings. Yes…forget turkey and eat dumplings.
There are many options with many different names at the Kim Nhung Superstore here in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but the ones above have a lovely pork filling. Also, next door is the Wei Wei Palace that serves authentic dim sum.
On that note…this week’s video is Anthony Bourdain in Shanghai talking about “Pillows of Happiness”. Mary Ann and I have watched Anthony Bourdain for years. We even went to one of his talks in Ann Arbor. It is sad that he is gone and there will be no new episodes ever again. We always watch old No Reservations, The Layover, and Parts Unknown. So we will continue to do so as it is always inspiring.
