And here, I thought it was an idiosyncrasy of the Canadi>n language! And you'd still have to "wrap a dumpling" even if you do it with skin, because if you skinned a dumpling, you'd be removing the wrapper!

As for dinner last night, it was a bag of salad mix from Costco, with some added tomato, and a bagel on the side. We weren't too hungry.
