Dumpling

I don't normally like 'Chinese' food. It's my least favourite of takeaways. Normally some form of meat covered in a sickly sweet sticky gloop.

But the wonderful Parkers invited us round for dinner and made us a Chinese feast. Mrs Parker lived in China for a while so knows her stuff.

It was elaborate. And fantastic. The homemade dumplings were a highlight.

Afterwards I got a bit freaked out by some Gerbils. Turns out I'm not so good with small furry things climbing on me.
