Good morning Augusta.

This morning we have areas of patchy fog then mustoly sunny. Highs in the upper 60s with light and variable winds.

Tonight we’ll have partly cloudy conditions during evening hours, becoming mostly cloudy. Lows in the upper 40s with light and variable winds.

We didn’t receive any rain here over the past 24 hours.

The wind is East between  1.8 MPH and 2.5 MPH.

The Relative pressure is 29.98, the Absolute pressure is 29.78 and rising with a weather graphic indicating clouds and sun.

The  outdoor temperature is 38.5°F, the dew point is 38.0°F, the heat index is 38.5°F and the humidity is 99%.

Our next Full Moon is on November 8, and our next new moon will be on October 25.

 

Having checked the prices of meats in todays online paper I see that chicken and pork are by far the least expensive. So, let’s shift from chicken recipes to Pork.

 

Pork Potstickers

1 lb ground pork

2 chopped green onions

1 tb soy sauce

2 ts rice wine or dry Sherry

1 ts sesame oil

1/2 clove crushed garlic

1 egg

1 tb cornstarch

1/4 ts salt

1/4 ts pepper

 

Mix all ingredients together, by hand, in a large bowl. Fill wonton wrappers with approximately 1-1 1/2 teaspoons filling and press firmly in wanton press. (I

don't have a wanton press and it turned out just fine) Moisten edges for better adhering. Sauté in Peanut oil on medium heat till bottoms are golden. Add

enough chicken broth to barely cover wontons. Cover and simmer roughly 8 minutes. Serve immediately with some dipping sauce consisting of: 2 parts soy

sauce, 1 part rice vinegar, a little grated ginger and some chopped green onion.
