Congratulations Jenny! You should at least come clean and tell us if its a boy or girl. Sounds like mom is doing fine!

And I suppose that Cpod's xiao-liang and the lesson's xiao-jiang are also a coincidence ;-)

I guess Xiao-liang had multiple quizzes in this area, so this lesson comes a bit too late....

John's said he's from Florida. He's never shared with us which city. Somehow, I don't think he's from Miami. Probably spent time at the University of Florida at Gainesville.

So JiaBing is not only a great voice actor, but is also an IT guy?  Why has he not given us a lesson on Windows Server 2008 R2? :-0)

I remember the keynote speaker at an IT event I went to was a mountaineer and former investment banker. She and her team came within 300 feet or so of summiting Mt Everest. She mentioned the FDU during her speech, and she showed one to us. Then she ended that portion of the speech where she brought up the FUD by saying, "and ladies, no matter how cold it gets, the FUD ALWAYS STAYS THIS LONG".

I am curious if any of the Chinese women reading this thread have brothers/husbands/sons/male cousins/fathers  that make jaozi.  I am hearing from a number of Chinese women that while there is the occasional "enlightened" male, that making jaozi is most likely the mom/sister's/female cousin's job.

Another cool, out-of-the-way Cpod lesson. Good job Cpod! But nowadays, video cameras have an alarm that tell you things like the lens cap is still on ;-) Or at least my cheap one does.
