The following recipe has a certain ``history'' in Callahans, it being the potstickers that I (the Grey Lady) have brought in a number of times. P'relan and Birith have been particular fans in the past, as is the BFG. This recipe has been requested (and sent) to a number of callahaners, who have (as I recall) universally acclaimed it once they tried it. The most recent sending of the recipe elicited the comment that these were really great, as they don't `stick to the pot' as too many of these recipes do.
So, without further ado, comes the following cookbook submission for potstickers, from the Grey Lady with thanks to John Lind and credit to Carole Gee.
