Friends do this with Tamales, Ravioli, Pastry, canning, confections such as truffles at holiday time..anytime that an item is well loved and labor intensive it is so good to share that process with others.

There are a few places in the SF bay area that I love for Dim Sum and I see the assembly line of dumplings being made by many hands. It is a very cool cultural event, that in all parts of the world there are foods that are so sought after that we have to make them by the truckload. lol

Some of my best memories of China are making jaozi (like Chinese pierogiy) with all those dumpling wraps and huge bowls of filling. The making is as bonding as eating them afterwards.
