Bob cooked tonight because we had the grandkids. We have been sending out

Hopefully I will be back to normal soon.

Hi

Tonight, I'm trying a variation of a recipe by Ray - No-Pain Lo Mein

....

from http://www.foodtv.com

I'm using frozen stir-fry mixed veggies, canned sliced mushrooms, onions,

garlic, low sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil. I'm also adding cooked shrimp

to it.

I don't see it as 4 servings, though, since a pound of pasta = 8 servings.

Also, the amount of veggies and shrimp added should double the volume of the

pasta. So, I see this as 8 very generous portions when done.

I figure each serving as this - though I won't be sure until I actually

finish preparing it:

1 cup cooked pasta = 4 pt

1 tsp oil = 1 pt

1 TBS lite soy sauce = 0 pt

0 point veggies = 0 pt

12 shrimp = 3 pt

Yield: 8 servings - - 1 serving = 8 pt

Here's the original recipe, which I am gonna " adjust " - -

No-Pain Lo Mein

Recipe courtesy Ray

2 TBS (2 turns around the pan in a slow drizzle) vegetable or wok oil

1 cup (2 handfuls) snow peas, halved on a diagonal

1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into match stick size pieces

1/2 pound assorted mushrooms (shiitake, straw, enoki, or oyster), coarsely

chopped if necessary

4 scallions, thinly sliced on a diagonal

2 cups (about 4 handfuls) fresh bean sprouts

2 inches fresh ginger root, minced or grated with hand grater

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound lo mein noodles or thin spaghetti, cooked to al dente and drained

well

1/2 cup aged tamari soy sauce

1 TBS toasted sesame oil, several drops

Heat a wok-shaped skillet or large non-stick skillet over high heat. When

pan is very hot, (it will smoke a bit) then, immediately add the snow peas,

epper, mushrooms, scallions, and bean sprouts.

Stir fry for 1 minute to flavor the oil, then add the ginger and garlic, and

stir-fry 2 minutes.

Add the cooked noodles and toss to combine. Add the soy sauce and toss the

ingredients to coat noodles evenly with sauce. Transfer the lo mein to a

serving platter and garnish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.

Cook's Notes:

Wok oil is infused with ginger and garlic and is widely available on the

International Foods aisle of the market.

Cooked shredded pork, chicken, or small de-veined shrimp may be added to this

dish in any combination.

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Difficulty: Medium

I am going to have the home version of the " Maureen Salad " I am

making a salad and putting Hormel turkey chili on it, and maybe some

cheese....We are all having whatever we want tonight. My oldest,

Jessie, is going out at about 5 pm with a friend's family to a water/

amusemant park, so I am one short for dinner and hate to make

anything too involved since the littler ones dont appreciate it...

Citrus Punch

Menu for Thursday

ACS Banquet

Hopefully they will have a salad bar and some type of chicken

~~~~But~~~~

I will be too nervous to eat since I have to give out all the Cancer Control

Program Awards to all my volunteers and then at the end give my speech about

Kathy.

I haven't eaten as yet today.

I think I'll just have some crackers and soup to settle my tummy.

Will list what I end up eating tonight after the dinner.

[Guest guest]

riza, let your mil know that I will be sending my prayers her way. My own

mil just finished her first round of chemo and will need to have another

round. But is doing quite well.
