I hope it also gives you insight and pleasure to expand your horizons too, as we always do some research before we embark on our travels. We also always check the U.S. Government web sites too in order to read up to date warnings issued for travel for U.S. citizens, and same when we speak with our travel agent we always ask them as they should also know.</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG><SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;">About Greece:</SPAN><BR /></STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>Greece is known for its warmth from the Greek people, the food which is vast and delicious, the islands which number into the thousands (Please read below). Its gorgeous white washed and pastel colored homes near the Mediterranean such as Santorini, Mykonos, etc. Also lovely is Rhodes, and Crete, and of course many of the other inhabited islands of which have so much to offer tourists and people who relocate to Greece.</STRONG></P> <DIV class="_oDd" data-hveid="38"><STRONG><SPAN class="_Tgc _y9e">Greece's 1,400 islands -- 230 of them inhabited -- are one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful assets.

Athens owes the first penal and civil law code to Draco. An outstanding statesman and poet called Solon acted in Athens at the same time as Draco. In 594 BC he was elected the first archon – the highest state official who today could be compared to a prime minister. The difference between a prime minister and an archon lies in the fact that the latter was elected annually and had executive and judicial power, was in command of the army and performed priestly functions. The main Solon's credit was that he prepared basis for political changes in Athens. He divided citizens into four groups based on agricultural output, established the so-called Council of 400, the jury court, standardized the system of measures and weights and considerably increased rights of ekklesia – assembly of all citizens of Athens over 20. In 510 BC Cleisthenes introduced profound reforms which made democracy exist as a system of government for the first time in the world. In general reforms were to diminish the role of aristocracy, eliminate financial differences and mix the society.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG>Athenian democracy was established as a result of continuous reorganizations. The name comes from demos-people and kratos-power, so literally power of the people. Apart from many smaller changes, it was mainly based on the opportunity for all citizens over 20 to take part in governing the country. One of the main advantages of Athenian democracy was that the archon and his eight assistants were elected annually. It was possible to prolong the rule for the next term but in case of any abnormalities a quick change of government took place. The biggest advantage of democracy in polis was the general possibility of taking part in public life for all free citizens. Undoubtedly it helped the citizens of Athens to broaden their minds, their cultural awareness and, what was probably most important, to develop intellectually<A id="Sciences" name="Sciences" target="_blank"></A></STRONG></P> <P><BR /> <STRONG><SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"><SPAN class="style13">Sciences</SPAN><BR /></SPAN> Greece has importantly influenced the Western science in many ways. The Ancient Greeks especially contributed many things to the scientific world, from medicine to astronomy. The most famous ancient Greek scientists and their work are briefly described below.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG><EM>Thales of Miletus</EM> (640-610 to ca 548-545 BC) had travelled widely in quest of knowledge, visiting Crete, Phoenicia, and Egypt. ?e brought Phoenician navigational techniques into Miletus. Thales is also said to have tried to revise the calendar. He also brought Babylonian mathematical knowledge to Greece and used geometry to solve problems such as calculating the height of pyramids and the distance of ships from the shore. He studied astronomy in Babylonia, and after his return to Miletus gained great fame by predicting an eclipse of the sun (28.5.585 BC, Julian Calendar or 22.5.584 BC Gregorian Calendar Famous Eclipse). He was first noted as an inventor and an engineer. Thales was also interested in heavenly bodies. He is credited with the discovery of the electrical properties of amber (or “electron” from which also the name electricity was derived). According to Pausanias he was one of the Seven Sages of Greece.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG><EM>Pythagoras</EM> (569 to 475 BC) was the Greek philosopher and mathematician. He studied astronomy, logistics and geometry and founded the mystic Pythagorean cult. The cult he founded was devoted to the study of numbers, which the Pythagoreans saw as concrete, material objects, and became for them the ultimate principle of all proportion, order, and harmony in the universe. Pythagoras also investigated the ratios of lengths corresponding to musical harmonies, and developed methods of geometric proof. In geometry the great discovery of Pythagoreans was the hypotenuse theorem or Pythagorean theorem. Pythagoreans were the first to consider the earth as a globe revolving with the other planets around a central fire and mathematicize the universe.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG><EM>Democritus</EM> (460 BC - 370 BC) was a pre-Socratic Greek materialist philosopher, a student of Leucippus and co-originator of the belief that all matter is made up of various imperishable, indivisible elements which he called <EM>atoma</EM> or "indivisible units", from which we get the English word atom. Democritus agreed that everything which is must be eternal, but denied that "the void" can be equated with nothing. This makes him the first thinker on record to argue the existence of an entirely empty "void". He was also a pioneer of mathematics and geometry in particular. He was among the first to observe that a cone or pyramid has one-third the volume of a cylinder or prism respectively with the same base and height. He also proposed that the universe contains many worlds, some of them inhabited and conducted research on minerals and plants.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG><EM>Euclid</EM> (323 BC–283 BC), also known as the "Father of Geometry", was a Greek mathematician of the Hellenistic period who was active in Alexandria, almost certainly during the reign of Ptolemy I. His <EM>Elements</EM>, a reorganized compilation of geometrical proofs including new proofs and a much earlier essay on the foundations of arithmetic, is the most successful textbook in the history of mathematics. In it, the principles of what is now called Euclidean geometry are deduced from a small set of axioms. Elements conclude with the construction of Plato's five regular solids. Euclidean space has no natural edge, and is thus infinite. Euclid also wrote works on perspective, conic sections, spherical geometry, and rigor. In his <EM>Optica</EM>, he noted that light travels in straight lines and described the law of reflection.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG><EM>Archimedes of Syracuse</EM> (287 BC – 212 BC) was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. He is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity. Among his advances in physics are the foundations of hydrostatics and the explanation of the principle of the lever. He is credited with designing innovative machines, including siege engines and the screw pump that bears his name. Archimedes is considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He used the method of exhaustion to calculate the area under the arc of a parabola with the summation of an infinite series, and gave a remarkably accurate approximation of Pi. He also defined the spiral bearing his name, formulas for the volumes of surfaces of revolution and an ingenious system for expressing very large numbers. Archimedes had proved that the sphere has two thirds of the volume and surface area of the cylinder (including the bases of the latter), and regarded this as the greatest of his mathematical achievements.<A id="Philosophy" name="Philosophy" target="_blank"></A></STRONG></P> <P><STRONG><SPAN class="style9"><BR /></SPAN> <SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"><SPAN class="style13">Philosophy</SPAN><BR /></SPAN> Ancient Greek philosophy focused on the role of reason and inquiry. It had an important influence on modern philosophy, as well as modern science. The influence from ancient Greek and Hellenistic philosophers was expanded to medieval Muslim philosophers and scientists, to the European Renaissance and Enlightenment, to the modern natural sciences and technology.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG><EM>Socrates</EM> was a classical Greek philosopher. Considered one of the founders of Western philosophy, he strongly influenced Plato, and Aristotle. He made his most important contribution to Western thought through his method of inquiry. He is principally renowned for his contribution to the field of ethics, Socrates also lends his name to the concepts of Socratic irony and the Socratic Method. Socrates also made important and lasting contributions to the fields of epistemology and logic, and the influence of his ideas and approach, remains strong in providing a foundation for much western philosophy which followed.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG><EM>Plato</EM> has the reputation of one of the most influential philosophers in Western thought. He wrote several dozen philosophical dialogues —arguments in the form of conversations— and a few letters. Though the early dialogues deal mainly with methods of acquiring knowledge, and most of the last ones with justice and practical ethics, his most famous works expressed a synoptic view of ethics, metaphysics, reason, knowledge, and human life. One can view Plato, with qualification, as an idealist and a rationalist.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG><EM>Aristotle</EM> placed much more value on knowledge gained from the senses, and would correspondingly better earn the modern label of empiricist. Thus Aristotle set the stage for what would eventually develop into the scientific method centuries later. The works of Aristotle that still exist today appear in treatise form. The most important include <EM>Physics</EM>, <EM>Metaphysics</EM>, (Nicomachean) <EM>Ethics</EM>, <EM>Politics</EM>, <EM>De Anima</EM> (On the Soul), <EM>Poetics</EM>, and many others. Aristotle was a great thinker and philosopher, and his philosophy was crucial in governing intellectual thought in the Western world. His views and approaches dominated early Western science for almost 2000 years. As well as philosophy, Aristotle was a formidable inventor, and is credited with many significant inventions and observations.<A id="Art" name="Art" target="_blank"></A></STRONG></P> <P><STRONG><SPAN class="style9"><BR /></SPAN> <SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"><SPAN class="style13">Art</SPAN><BR /></SPAN> The art of ancient Greece has exercised an enormous influence on the culture of many countries from ancient times until the present. There are three scholarly distinctions of Greek art that correspond roughly with historical periods of the same names. These are the Archaic (700 - 480 BC), the Classical (480 - 323 BC) and the Hellenistic (323 – 31 BC) periods. The main physical categories of Greek art are sculpture, pottery, coin design and architecture.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG>The Greeks used many different types of materials in their sculptures including stone, marble and limestone as these were abundant in Greece. Other materials such as clay were also used but due to their brittle nature very few have survived. Greek sculptures are very important as the vast majority of them tell us a story about Gods, Heroes, Events, Mythical Creatures and Greek culture in general. Examples of Greek sculpture that survive and receive worldwide recognition are: the <EM>Parthenon Marbles,</EM> <EM>Agamemnon's Death Mask</EM>, stone statues of humans, such as the limestone <EM>Kouros</EM> (male) and <EM>Kore</EM> (female) statues (c.590 BC), <EM>Discobolos</EM> (The Discus Thrower) by Myron, the <EM>Venus de Milo</EM> and the <EM>Winged Victory of Samothrace.<BR /></EM></STRONG><BR /> <STRONG>The Ancient Greeks made pottery for everyday use, not for display; the trophies won at games, such as the <EM>Panathenaic Amphorae</EM> (wine decanters), are the exception. Most surviving pottery consists of drinking vessels such as <EM>amphorae, kraters</EM> (bowls for mixing wine and water), <EM>hydria</EM> (water jars), libation bowls, jugs and cups. Painted funeral urns have also been found. Miniatures were also produced in large numbers, mainly for use as offerings at temples.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG>Coins were mostly small disk-shaped lumps of gold, silver, or bronze, stamped with a geometric designs, symbols -to indicate its city of origin or the god they were sacred to-, and portraits –of gods or heroes.<A id="Architecture" name="Architecture" target="_blank"></A></STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG><SPAN class="style11"><BR /></SPAN> <SPAN class="style13">Architecture</SPAN><BR /> Ancient Greek architects strove for the precision and excellence of workmanship that are the hallmarks of Greek art in general. The formulas they invented as early as the sixth century B.C. have influenced the architecture of the past two millennia.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG>Although the ancient Greeks erected buildings of many types, the Greek Temple best exemplifies the aims and methods of Greek architecture. The two principal orders in Archaic and Classical Greek temples architecture are the Doric and the Ionic.A third order of Greek architecture, known as the Corinthian, mostly common in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Representative temple of the Doric order is <EM>Parthenon</EM>, of the Ionic order is <EM>Erechtheum</EM> and of the Corinthian order is the <EM>temple of Zeus</EM>, all these temples sited in Athens.</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>The Greek Theater was a central place of formal gatherings in ancient Greece. Every Greek town had a theater. These were used for both public meetings as well as dramatic performances. These performances originated as religious ceremonies; they went on to assume their Classical status as the highest form of Greek culture by the 6th century BC. The theatre was usually set in a hillside outside the town, and had rows of tiered seating set in a semi-circle around the central performance area, the orchestra. Behind the orchestra was a low building called the skene, which served as a store-room, a dressing-room, and also as a backdrop to the action taking place in the orchestra. A number of Greek theatres survive almost intact, the best known being at the <EM>Ancient Theater of Epidaurus</EM>.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG>The architectural typology of the modern stadium derives from the classical prototype of the Greek Stadium. The Greek Stadium was the open space where footraces and other athletic contests took place in ancient Greece. The stadiums were usually U-shaped, the curve being opposite to the starting point. The courses were generally 600 Greek feet long (1 stadium), although the length varied according to local variations of the measuring unit. Natural slopes where used where possible to support the seats. The best known ancient Greek stadium is <EM>Kallimarmaron (Panathinaikon Stadium)</EM>, sited in Athens. <A id="OlympicGames" name="OlympicGames" target="_blank"></A></STRONG></P> <P><STRONG><SPAN class="style11"><BR /></SPAN> <SPAN class="style13">Olympic Games</SPAN><BR /> According to historical records, the first ancient Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 BC. They were dedicated to the Olympian gods and were staged on the ancient plains of Olympia, in the western part of the Peloponnese. They continued for nearly 12 centuries, until Emperor Theodosius decreed in 393 A.D. that all such “pagan cults” be banned.</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>The Olympic Games were closely linked to the religious festivals of the cult of Zeus, but were not an integral part of a rite. Indeed, they had a secular character and aimed to show the physical qualities and evolution of the performances accomplished by young people, as well as encouraging good relations between the cities of Greece. According to specialists, the Olympic Games owed their purity and importance to religion.</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>The ancient Olympic Games included the following events: pentathlon, running, jumping, discus throw, wrestling, boxing, pankration and equestrian events.</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG>All free male Greek citizens were entitled to participate in the ancient Olympic Games, regardless of their social status. Married women were not allowed to participate in, or to watch, the ancient Olympic Games. However, unmarried women could attend the competition.</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>The Olympic victor received his first awards immediately after the competition. Following the announcement of the winner's name by the herald, a Hellanodikis (Greek judge) would place a palm branch in his hands, while the spectators cheered and threw flowers to him. Red ribbons were tied on his head and hands as a mark of victory. The official award ceremony would take place on the last day of the Games, at the elevated vestibule of the temple of Zeus. In a loud voice, the herald would announce the name of the Olympic winner, his father's name, and his homeland. Then, the Hellanodikis placed the sacred olive tree wreath, or kotinos, on the winner's head .</STRONG><BR /> <BR /> <STRONG>In 1859 Evangelos Zappas, a wealthy Greek philanthropist, sponsored the first modern international Olympic Games that were held in an Athens city square, with athletes from two countries: Greece and the Ottoman Empire. In June 23, 1894 Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and it was decided that the first IOC Olympic Games would take place in 1896 in Athens, as they did.</STRONG></P> <P> <STRONG>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>Ireland is known as the emerald Isle because it is magnificent in pastures enriched with green hills a lot of history, great foods, and is very beautiful.</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>Here are some links if this interests you...</STRONG></P> <P> <STRONG><A href="http://www.today.com/parents/15-things-you-didnt-know-about-ireland-461721" target="_blank">http://www.today.com/parents/15-things-you-didnt-know-about-ireland-461721</A></STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>What is Ireland most famous for?</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG><SPAN id="yui_3_17_2_4_1424447266776_2108" class="ya-q-full-text">Molloy Malone<BR /> Guinness<BR /> Friendly People<BR /> U2, the greatest rock band in the world!<BR /> Unpredictable weather.<BR /> Castles,<BR /> Celtic Art<BR /> A somewhat laid back attitude to life.</SPAN></STRONG></P> <P><STRONG><SPAN class="ya-q-full-text">Also you can check on tripadvisor.com and read about experiences others had as they post them.

I was surprised to see it today-kind of a deja-vu moment for me! Thank you or whom ever did this-I got a great kick seeing it again. The only Costco I am aware of in our area is about a 45 minute drive from us and we don't really go in that area often. We have thought about trying it out to see if we like it better than SAM's but would have to drive past 2 of those by the time we would get to Costco. Good to know products people are happy with if we ever do go. Hope you enjoy the soup if you try it.</P> <P>spud188 - Thanks for another vote for Costco. If you like potstickers, I'm pretty sure you will like the soup. I still can't find a veggie combo I am happy with so end up making my own. Maybe Costco has something better to offer there, also.</P> <P>RespectLife - I never make this soup without thinking of you!</P> <P>vickisok - Yes, this soup will warm you up. Not real hearty -more "brothy" but it is filling because of the veggies.

I just saw them in their ad. Glad to hear your husband has a smoker. I am the one who lives in your area and about 2 yrs. ago, told you about our BBQ contest (Jakey in June) in St. Jacob, but don't know if you ever attended. </P> Tue, 10 Feb 2015 19:25:23 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308931#M11890 bbqjudge 2015-02-10T19:25:23Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308937#M11891 <P>Well, hello bbqjudge!</P> <P>Have thought of you often over the last couple of years and wondered if you and DH still were judging! No, we have not been fortunate enough to attend Jakey in June but think about it every year. Still plan on attending. Like I said in a previous post, a lot has happened in the last 2 years that has turned our lives completely upside down. It reads like a soap opera, but we are finally getting adjusted and things are looking a little more settled. </P> <P>You had mentioned something about learning how to be a judge and DH was very interested. Don't know if he still is or not as he is not here right now. I think he needs to find out a little more but if we make it to Jakey in June this year, maybe we can meet up and find out the info we need. As it stands right now, I don't plan any more than a few days in advance for anything.......</P> <P>Hope you like the soup if you decide to make it. I have not made it with Aldi's potstickers but have ate them and thought they are better than those here on the Q. When I went back to purchase more, I found that they were sold out-this is the first that I have heard of them being back in stock since then!

I use it a lot when looking for new recipes or recipes to use up things I have in the freezer or pantry. That's how I found this one; I had potstickers from the Q and wanted a new way to use them. Hope you like the soup if you try it. Have a peaceful evening.</P> Wed, 11 Feb 2015 07:10:17 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308947#M11893 mustang66lady 2015-02-11T07:10:17Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308951#M11894 <P>I always use sesame oil in Asian-inspired recipes. Makes all the difference in the world.</P> <P>Costco has excellent pot tickers in the freezer section. It's a big bag, so you have to love pot stickers, but fortunately, we do! </P> <P>This soup recipe looks tasty. I will definitely be serving it soon!</P> Wed, 11 Feb 2015 15:54:20 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308951#M11894 Vamp 2015-02-11T15:54:20Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308956#M11896 <P>Hello Vamp,</P> <P>I hope you enjoy the soup if you make it. The Costco closest to us is still quite away. Are their potstickers chicken or pork? I keep wanting to try shopping there but to drive past two SAM's is hard to justify - at least to my husband! </P> Thu, 12 Feb 2015 06:17:54 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308956#M11896 mustang66lady 2015-02-12T06:17:54Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308960#M11897 <P>mustang66lady: I made the potsticker soup last night ---and Oh My Goodness!! --it is fabulous! I always have sesame oil on hand and that is a MUST for this soup. I got the potstickers from Aldi's and they were great and cheap. The only changes I made were that, instead of adding salt, I used the chicken "Better Than Bouillon" and because we really like garlic, I added 1 extra garlic clove. Thank you so much for posting this recipe --it's not to be compared to, but right up there with good BBQ --HA!</P> Sat, 14 Feb 2015 18:22:52 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308960#M11897 bbqjudge 2015-02-14T18:22:52Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308965#M11898 <P>bbqjudge,</P> <P>Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on the soup: wish I could say I was the author but am only the "finder" of this from allrecipes. But it means a lot coming from a master judge because even though you judge bbq, your taste buds are refined! I always doubt a lot of what I cook and wonder if others will find it as good as I do; this recipe I thought was really good too, but had to wonder if others' have the same feelings or not. I respect the opinions of the people on this board because I have tried many of their recipes myself and have come to know that if someone here says something is good, most likely I am going to feel the same. </P> <P>I hope you read my post to you above. And hope to see you at Jakey in June!</P> Sat, 14 Feb 2015 23:15:04 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308965#M11898 mustang66lady 2015-02-14T23:15:04Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308970#M11899 <P>I have a big bag of potstickers in the freezer. Can't wait to try it.

And boy are they ever inexpensive compared to potstickers on the Q! I made my first trip ever to Aldi's and got the last 3 boxes they had. Only pork available but I am sure they will be delicious!</P> <P>It is -8 today...not even counting the wind chill! I may make another batch even though I just made it last week. Anxious to try the Aldi's brand!</P> Mon, 16 Feb 2015 16:56:04 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308976#M11900 RespectLife 2015-02-16T16:56:04Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308980#M11901 <P>mustang66lady: I had to make another trip to Aldi's in Edwardsville to get more potstickers. I have passed around our leftovers from the 1st batch for others to try and they have all gone out to get the ingredients, so you are now famous for your recipe. Anyone in the St. Louis area who is interested in BBQ can go to our contest website -- <A href="http://www.jakeyinjune.com" target="_blank">www.jakeyinjune.com</A> for more information.</P> Wed, 18 Feb 2015 18:53:46 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308980#M11901 bbqjudge 2015-02-18T18:53:46Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308984#M11902 <P>bbqjudge,</P> <P>I just went to our Aldi's today and they were out of potstickers! If you went to the Aldi's in Edwardsville, you were a 15 minute drive from our house. One of our daughter's shops at the Edwardsville Aldi's as that is where she lives. And if you just went today, I may head over there tomorrow and see if they still have some. Guess I could be "famous" for something worse than soup, but have to admit, I didn't make this recipe up-was just fortunate to have found it is all. And I am happy others are finding the soup good, too! </P> <P>Hope it is a lot warmer for Jakey in June than it is now!</P> <P> </P> Thu, 19 Feb 2015 00:12:26 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308984#M11902 mustang66lady 2015-02-19T00:12:26Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308990#M11903 <P><STRONG>Looks delicious.</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>Thanks for posting it.</STRONG></P> Thu, 19 Feb 2015 03:49:08 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308990#M11903 adoreqvc 2015-02-19T03:49:08Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308995#M11904 <P>Hello adoreqvc,</P> <P>How nice to "meet" you. I have enjoyed your travels and stories and live vicariously thru you! Two places in the world I want to see before I die, is Ireland and Greece.</P> <P>I hope you enjoy this soup if you try it. We loved it. I never thought it would get the attention it has since I posted it - now wish I had been smart enough to have invented it! Please continue blessing us with your adventures and recipes!</P> Thu, 19 Feb 2015 04:40:08 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Quick-Pot-Sticker-Soup/m-p/308995#M11904 mustang66lady 2015-02-19T04:40:08Z
