Wherever you are, hope you have a great day!! We miss you.
And, in her honor since she probably won't see this - here's one of the many recipes she shared while she was around. I've made this a few times over the years and it is tasty.

Potsticker Soup
Serves 2
2 1/2 cups low-sodium defatted chicken broth
2/3 cup water
1/4 teaspoon minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon oriental hot sauce -- (sambal oelek is a good choice)
1 large carrot -- split lengthwise and sliced diagonally
3/4 cup thinly sliced green cabbage -- any kind
2 large green onions -- slice all but keep the green tops separate (for garnish)
12 whole Trader Joe's Chicken Gyoza Potstickers -- unthawed
1 teaspoon arrowroot -- mixed with 1 teaspoon water
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Bring the broth and water to a boil in a medium saucepot. Add the ginger, garlic, hot sauce, carrot, and cabbage.
Turn down the heat to simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Add the green onion WHITES and the potstickers, turn up the heat to return to a boil, then turn the heat back down, partially cover, and cook until the potstickers are tender (TJ's directions say about 2-3 minutes)
If a slightly thicker broth is desired, add the arrowroot-and-water mixture and stir until thickened. Turn off heat and stir in the sesame oil. Divide between two deep bowls, sprinkle with the reserved sliced green onion tops. Dust with a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper.
Vicci - This is quick and really good. I usually use chicken potstickers from Trader Joe's, but you can use any brand/ flavor.

We're thinking of you, Vicci.
