Audrey is beautiful, with big brown eyes and an impish personality. I often wonder what she will be like as a young woman. Heidi once said, "She'll be like you!" and that would be a great compliment. Audrey was dressed in her favorite color, pink, when Dave and I visited Mike and Heidi on August 3, 2025, to try out Mike's new Chinese dumpling kit. Heidi bought it for him for his birthday.
Before dinner, Audrey took me on a tour of her backyard, including visiting the tiny space between the cement parking strip and the boulders by the side of the cement that was her "garden". Mike and Heidi own a one acre yard, so Audrey's garden seemed a bit meager!
Mike's dumpling kit consisted of a tiny rolling pin, just right for flattening rounds of dough, and a bamboo steamer in which to cook the dumplings. There were also recipes, including the meat dumplings Mike cooked for us.
Mike and Heidi are both great cooks. Mike has perfected brisket in his Traeger smoker, and Heidi bakes, decorates cakes, and makes chocolates and other candies. Calder watched his mom fix the rice to accompany the dumplings.
Audrey patiently awaited her dinner.
Finally, success!
