It was lots of fun (but also a lot of work). What could be better than a book club meets potluck, right? It also fortunately or unfortunately contributed to my large cookbook collection. lol

I'm Sherrie, and have worked at World Spice forever (or so it seems like). lol I started here part-time when I was cooking professionally, and have been full-time for a loooong time. (At the shop, they call me the Spice Oracle.) I helped run our Cookbook Club years ago, and have created or co-created numerous spice blends and recipes on our website. I love "playing" with food, because really - Life is too short to eat boring food.

And Firefly Garden, an absolutely lovely savory tea, which is great for perking oneself up when you can't do any more caffeine! We love Aubrey, and really miss her physical presence at the shop. (She also gives the bestest hugs, too.)

These are absolutely delicious, and my "go to" to make when I have time and want really good dumplings. They freeze well, too, and I'll often use chili crisp instead of the chili oil. (Need to make these again...keep thinking about them...)

Oh, this is sooooo good, even just using egg noodles! Even better the next day, too.
