My Favorite Seafood Dish

I remember when I was younger, well, that’s probably a good 15 years ago, it’s my first time I tasted this seafood dish, and it has become my all time favorite ever since. My aunt made this dish - Steam shrimps with minced garlic. She cooked this dish without the vermicelli or yam bundle, and later on, people had many variations of the dish. Many people and Chinese restaurants use the same ingredients and method to prepare with scallops. I wonder if this dish had an American version of it at the cook off.

Oh, one more note, personally, I think the vermicelli is the best part of the dish, because it absorbs all the tastes from the prawns, garlic, and soya.

Ingredients
Prawns: 14-16pcs
Minced or diced Garlic: 2 tablespoon
Red Pepper (Optional): 1 diced hot pepper, optional
Vermicelli: 1 pack or can be substituted with 12 yam bundle, drained
Minced Ginger: 1 ½ teaspoon
1 diced green (or spring) onion
Light Soy Sauce / Soya – 1 Tablespoon
Seseme oil – ¼ teaspoon
Salt – ¼ Teaspoon
Sugar – 2/3 teaspoon
Shaoh-Sing Wine (Chinese rice wine) – 1 tablespoon

Cooking instructions
1. boil the vermicelli until it becomes clear and soft. Put the vermicelli into cold water to cool off for 5 to 10 seconds, then drain.
2. clean the prawns, trim the legs, head can be left on or removed. Slice in the middle of the prawns (but do not cut into half). Put into freezer for 10 mins
3. mix minced garlic, red pepper (optional), minced ginger, salt, suger, Shaoh-Sing Wine, and sesame oil, then spread on each prawn individually.
4. Put the yam bundle or vermicelli on the dish. Put the shrimps on top of the yam bundle or vermicelli. Add some salt to each shrimps. Put 1 tbsp of minced or diced garlic on each prawn.
5. Steam it under high heat until done (around 6-8 mins). Add 1/2 of tbsp of soya on each prawn. Add some hot pepper and green onion on each shrimps. Heat the oil until you see the smoke. Put 1/2 of hot oil on each shrimps. Serve hot.

Mmm Mmm Good!

Cosmetic Dentisry

Just before I stumbled upon Dr. Maddahi’s website, a cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills, I was just talking with my girlfriend about taking my toddlers for their first dental visit. Both my husband and I believe that dental hygiene is important, especially for toddlers, and kids must be taught when they were young to prevent andn minimize future dental problems. I was always skeptical about braces and teeth whitening procedure until I reviewed Dr. Maddahi’s website, which really opened my eyes. His dental office, or should I say dental spa, uses advanced computer systems, Mini-cameras to educate his patients, and they use painless system to drill the teeth, so you won’t hear those unpleasant squeaky noise. Even Miss Oprah talked about the advanced technology in dentistry that Dr. Maddahi uses.

Task Market

Filed under: Gas $

When businesses want to get more done, what would they do? Hire more temporary employees? Now, they can turn to Task Market by Microsoft. They can hire the help and get the task done. Want some extra income, find a task and complete it, you will be paid via Paypal. It’s simple. People can Get more business done faster with Task Market.

Press Release:

Welcome to the launch of the Task Economy. We’d like you to be among the first to experience it, kick the tires, and share your opinions with your readers.

Microsoft® Task Market is a new Technology Preview site that lets people with tasks find people with the know-how to do them – saving time, and improving the end product.

For every person who throws up both hands at the prospect of creating a complex formula in Microsoft Excel, somewhere in the world there’s another person who can make it look easy. For every poor proofreader, there’s an expert one out there who wouldn’t mind making a few extra dollars. For every small business owner who doesn’t have time to do background research on a new business prospect, there’s a talented researcher who could quickly put together a dossier.

The big idea with Task Market is this: create a viable market to get them together and things get done.

Task Market is in the Technology Preview stage. That means that developers at Microsoft Research are releasing the site “into the wild” to demonstrate the potential of the technology, investigate the breadth of user adoption, solicit ideas on how to improve the site and, ultimately, create a market of Task Posters and Task Solvers to help people get their office tasks done.

A Task Market Task is:

· Something that can be done for $20 to $500

· Something that the Task Poster could use help doing

· Something that can be delivered electronically, like a Microsoft Office document.

A Task Market Poster might need help with:

· a specialized Excel formula

· language translation

· letter writing

· an aspect of their accounting

· making a PowerPoint presentation “pretty”

· graphics, charts, formatting or logos

· research gathering

· proofreading

· building sell sheets, listing sheets or simple brochures

· fact checking

Task Market Solvers create profiles of their skills to help Posters assign tasks to Solvers with the right skill sets, and get email alerts when a job arrives that fits their skillsets. Posters can award and pay several solvers for tasks to compare results, and give more work to the ones they like. All without the commitment of a freelance engagement.

Check out the working tech preview at www.taskmarket.com . Who knows. We may be building a whole new economy. We’d like to start with you and your readers. Let me know if you have any questions.

Recycled Plastic Material

Filed under: Gas $

My cousin Ed started to work for a plastic recycle company just about a year ago. Occasionally, we would receive some newsletter and magazines about recycling plastic, and I would flip through the pages.

Just by flipping through the pages, I was a bit confused by all those terminology at first. Then when I read on, did a little research online, I found that plastic recycling was quite fascinating. Just talk about the most common form of recyclable plastic used in consumer product manufacturing, HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), which was used in many of the products we use everyday, such as snack food packages, milk jug, bread tray, and detergent bottles just to name a few.

HDPE is generally categorized as scrap and virgin HDPE granules. To learn more about recycling plastic, check out HDPESCRAP.COM for information.

Custom Photo Cards

Ever since my first child was born, I have been obsessed with sending emails and greeting cards with her photos on it. When my second child was born, needless to say, pictures of one turned into pictures of two. Every time I saw advertisements of stationary companies that offer “design your own”, “do it yourself”, or “put your favorite pictures here” greeting cards, note pads, and even bank checks, I would stop whatever I was doing and just had to check it out.

I love custom photo cards, especially those with simple, contemporary designs, and neutral color that would fit into any occasions.

photocard

Every now and then, I would pick out a few good pictures of my kids and turned it into photo note cards or photo greeting cards. I just left it blank without any holiday or seasonal greetings, so that I could use it for anybody, anytime, and for any occasion. For example, I have used it as thank you cards after birthday parties, get well cards, or just to say hi cards to relatives who live overseas. I also use it as a gift tag, so that the recipient would know exactly who gave him the gift without second guessing.

There are so many other way I can use a custom photo cards for. You just have to be creative!
