The question that no one asked?

Did you see the videos of this girl named Elizabeth Lambert playing dirty soccer match? After the video was broadcast many times over, she later apologized saying: "I let my emotions get the best of me in a heated situation."

My take: she apologized because she was caught red-handed. That kind of behavior does not just developed overnight. I am willing to bet that she has been playing dirty for quite some time. So the reason for the title of this blog is why haven't any of the news reporters asked the school/college officials, the coaches, and the people around her life the key question: how can they allow this to happen? The suspension didn't happen until it became a media frenzy. Was she such a star player that anything she did was permissible? The people that are responsible for allowing that behavior to develop are just as guilty.

And on to the next recipe.

FRIED SHRIMP DUMPLINGS

Ingredients:

1 lb of peeled and deveined raw shrimps
2 cups of flour
2 eggs
1 bunch of chopped scallions (cross cut, thinly)
1 table spoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
water, as needed, to dilute the mix.
Frying oil

Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, and add water a little at a time until the mixture is about the consistency of thick oatmeal (for lack of way to describe it :-) )

Heat oil in a fry-pan or 2-quart size pan, my guess is about 350 degree F. The oil should be about 2-inch or more high, so the fried pieces can be submerged and then float as it cooked.

Using two large table spoon, scoop one portion of the batter mix and try to get 1-2 shrimps per scoop, drop it in the hot oil by using the other spoon to slide the mix in to the hot oil. After the piece turned golden brown, scoop it out and let it cool down on a drain rack.

After the first piece is fried, check to see that they are fully cooked inside. If not, lower the heat a little before frying the next batch. Fry three or four pieces at a time.

Its best to serve this warm, and for a little kick, use Lousiana Red Hot sauce (a specific name brand) for dipping! It's just maahr-ve-lous!
