Paul made this for me for lunch one day. He put it together with Chik'n patties from Gardein. It made for a very tasty (and quite nutritious) meal. Fat content is a tad high, but overall the product was very good.

1. Sounds good.

And can I say that I LOVE Gardein. I'm getting ready to make lunch for work this week. Broccoli and their boneless tips. The aforementioned tips being the absolute most beef-like thing I've ever eaten. I steam a pound of florets and cook a package of the Gardein, then toss the broc into the pan with the tips to simmer for a couple. Delish. Makes 2 meals (cuz I'm a pig) for less than $3 a meal.

[WillParkinson]

4. Yes, yes you can...

I adore Gardein products. My favorites are the Scallopini and the Tenders. I could eat them daily.

2. These look good where are the dumplings sold?

[WillParkinson]

3. We picked them up at Woodman's in Wisconsin...

They are the only place we've found (thus far) that carries them locally. One of my co-workers was going to check Whole Foods to see if they had them.

7. www.onestopnatural.com

They have a searchable distributor drop down on the left of the page. Just went to their site on the package just now.

9. Thanks for the information, greatly appreciated.

5. Will, I was lucky enough

to stumble over these at my local family health food store. They actually caught my eye in a cooler I rarely look in just from memory of your post. I picked up a package solely on your recommend. Thanks.

How did you guys prepare them? Cold or did you heat them up and how?

[WillParkinson]

6. We heated them...

Just sauteed in a bit of oil. Nothing fancy, though they could be tossed with other veggies, too.

And picked them up solely on my review? No pressure or anything, right?

[flvegan]

8. Honestly.

Just happened to be in there to pick up a couple things and as I walked by the cooler thing, my photographic memory picked up on them and I thought "these are the things Will talked about"

They had 5 or 6 different things. I almost got the Thai dumplings too, but one of the main ingredients was carrots, so I opted to just try these.

[WillParkinson]

10. Well I hope you enjoy them...

If not, blame it on Paul. He picked them up first.

[flvegan]

11. LOL!

Will, you and Paul are beloved members of my extended family. You can do no wrong. Not that it matters, I ain't nobody.

[WillParkinson]

13. You're somebody to me. LeftyMom is, too....

Even without the goodies she conveniently ignores when I mention them.

[LeftyMom]

12. Photographic memory?

I'll keep that in mind the next time you forget my birthday. Which will be next March.

[WillParkinson]

14. Ahem....

See the above reply. He's not forgetting them, he's conveniently forgetting them.

[flvegan]

15. I remember things I've seen

Guess what I'm thinking of now? heh heh

What happens in March? My dog's birthday is in April, so that's not it.

[LeftyMom]

16. Stop thinking about those.

I believe March is when you were supposed to buy me a baseball jersey.

edit: Is this threadjacking? Somebody get a host.

[flvegan]

17. I have your jersey.

I just can't remember to send it.

I think we just hit meta.

[LeftyMom]

18. Boyfriend fail.

Seriously though, no rush. I haven't even got to go to a game yet. And I'm sitting on a crapload of gift cards for tickets. No time.

[flvegan]

19. Want to see

my most recent kitty-cat liberation?

Boyfriend fail being what it is, so to speak.

[LeftyMom]

20. Did you just ask if I want to see your pussy?

[flvegan]

21. Hmmm...

You are the owner/operator of that. So...

That's not going to go over well.

[WillParkinson]

22. Oh my...
