Everybody's Got a Recipe For Dumplings

These things happen in our household.

Gretchen and I were driving home from lunch and listening to Radio Margaritaville when our discussion turned to Italian food. Gretchen mentioned that she was fond of ravioli.

Now, we have frequently discussed the similarity between ravioli, pierogi, and various other ethnic foods. It was thus that I sang the following line to the tune of the Jimmy Buffett song, "Everybody's Got a Cousin In Miami":

"Everybody's got a recipe for dumplings."

Gretchen promptly responded with, "Everybody wants to wrap food up in dough."

I am not sure if this is something we should think about finishing.

Although, if I hadn't just had lunch, I suppose I would be hungry now.

The last line should probably be "Well, that's a wrap"

Finish it!

Think of all the ethnic dumplings that could be made into verses...
