Dumplings

I made dumplings with my parental unit tonight. He was trying to show me how to make them so someday I can make them for my family.
He started to make fun of me because of my lack of culinary skills.
I was trying to help him roll the dough. I guess I wasn't doing it fast enough.

Dad: "Move over, let me do it. You're too slow. (pushes me aside proceeds to show me how it's done)

me: "I'm sorry Dad if I'm not as talented as you."

Dad: "What the heck did you learn in college, anything?"

According to my dad I didn't learn anything in school because I don't know how to make dumplings. I guess in his generation if a woman can't cook, what's the point? I have some skills to brush up on.

I'm on a roll

Thanks to president's day I only had class 1 day this week which gave me more time to exercise. I've been to the gym 4 times this week.
Monday: Rode my bike to the gym an easy 7 miles...no biggie.
Then a hour with my trainer the Ivanator. He actually took it pretty easy on me. I lucked out this time.
Tuesday: I made it to the gym. I ran 2.5 miles after that my stomach made me go home.
Wednesday: 45 minutes of weights and a 5K on the treadmill.
Thursday: Class
Friday: 5K run on the treadmill, yea for me!
Let's see if I can keep it up, now only if I can get my sweet tooth under control.
