About Me

I am a potsticker crimper like my father before me. Actually, the trade has been passed on for generations in my family from chinese immigrant workers during the Northwest gold rush of the 1800's. There really is nothing quite like the satisfaction that an artisan potsticker crimper gets when seamlessly joining the doughy union of a gyoza, whatever type it may be. Shrimp, beef, mixed vegetable -beleive me, the list is quite extensive-, i treat all fillings the same by putting an equal amount of care into every single individual potsticker. but, alas; the potsticker industry has changed considerably since my forefather's time. machines and gadgets have changed production schematics. hand-crimping has gone the way of the dodo bird and i lost my job at the gyoza factory. however, all is not lost. through much research, online and otherwise, i have learned of a new trade that is somewhat congruous with my already substantial crimping skills: hand corrugation of card board. i am currently enrolled in an apprenticeship program with corrugators local no. 33 in seattle. i am pleasantly surprised about how closely related hand cardboard corrugation is to hand crimping potstickers.

My Interests

eating snacks, smoking reefer, playing music. Also, multicultural pastry and dough crimping, or recipes that deal with food products that include dough, especially if the dough is stuffed with something and requires some sort of crimping to close it. also, being married, having friendly, loving pitbulls named Abby and Pete, making love with my wife and making noise in sometimes melodic, harmonic and rhythmic patterns, which might be called music, with my friends brian and andy, which are a band, which is called The COLOFFS. Gettin crunk. Trying to kill the weimareiner shit dog that lives down the alley from me and is constantly attacking the animals in my pack. Terrorizing my cat, Tina, with help from my wife and dogs; although, despite constant harrasment, she will not leave and find a new home.

I'd like to meet:

Jon Bonham, keith moon, cab callaway, me grandaddies Kriegel and Berry. all these folks died before i got a chance to meet em. The RZA and GZA from the WU. My wife's Nez Perce ancestors from before treaty days. Yellow Wolf.
