Pork Dumplings w/ red wine vinegar & Spicy California sushi

Following on the theme of playing homage to things created by others we honour superstore sushi. With my hubbie out of town for a few days this was part of the foodgasmic feast. Only a couple of chains have the sushi counter and make it fresh daily.

I haven't graduated to the full on raw tuna/fish deal but I do find the others quite yummy. I'm sure it doesn't compare to the great sushi restaurants but it's fresh and light and makes you feel good about eating it!

Yum Yum!

On the opposite end of the spectrum, greasy pork dumplings! I was introduced to these lovely tasty thing a few years ago by my friend Alison and they are my definitive weakness. They have to be served with the vinegar for dipping though otherwise there's just no point for me.
Pork surrounded by crisp yet chewy dough dipped in a tart red wine vinegar...I tend to eat these until the plate is empty...not at all good for you but when you balance it with sushi that makes it all better doesn't it?
Who am I kidding...I have a dumpling addiction...
