On Wednesday, the students attended the culinary arts cultural lecture and then returned to the dormitory for the midterm test from 2pm to 4pm. After the test, the students went back to the culinary arts kitchen and learned how to make Jiaozi, also known as dumplings.
Jiaozi are very important for Chinese families during festivals. The families will make as many as they can because the dumplings represent prosperity, so the more a family makes, the more prosperity they can look forward to. The UW student “family” made as many Jiaozi as they could, but still didn’t make enough to satisfy twenty-two hungry stomachs so the kitchen prepared many, many more for the students’ dinner.
After the Jiaozi dinner, students returned to the dormitory to celebrate having survived the midterm after only a week and a half of classes!
