How easy it is to please sometimes

A couple of weeks ago, I was making a chicken stew.  I am not really a cook, but I can make a truly delicious chicken stew.

Emma wanted to help, but all that was left to do was the dumplings, so we gamely set about mixing and dolloping and boiling and steaming and in less time than it takes to watch a TV show, or for some of us to take a shower, we had dumplings.  As you can see we were both delighted.
