Looking good, Jay. I'm glad to see the cap still on the sake until
after the knife work is finished.

Good work. The dish looks really good, and so are the pictures. I like
that you can show an album of three pictures with only one url posted.


I'm still thinking about why a shrimp stirfry is named BillyJeanKing.

In the first picture, at about 10:30 on the dial you can see a little
string at the end of the peapod. If you pulled on that (before
cooking), you'd remove a little string across the top of the peapod .

The wok looks pretty full -- hope you've got a good strong flame for
it.

It looks like you used fresh mushrooms. How do you like them, compared
to dried shiitakes? -aem

Actually what you refer to is the tip of the blossom end... pulling
that will merely break just that tip off, and ruin the appearnce (I see
where people snap off the blossom tip from green beans too, ruins the
appearance). To destring snap peas pinch the stem end and carefully
pull back towards the blossom end, and remove both strings... the
string on the flat side is about twice the length and thickness of the
string on the curved side. Don't pinch off the blossom tip. If you
want to get fancy schmancy, after destringing cut a small vee notch
into the stem end.

I grow tons of snap peas, some days my fingers ache from destringing.
I also grow sugar bush peas, I like those much better (more flavorful)
and they are a lot easier to destring... sugar bush peas don't need any
cooking, but can be tossed into the wok last few seconds just to warm.

Ya know, I just now realized that by "digital" you meant a digicam...
I've been trying to figure out all along what your dish had to do with
a _digital_ thermometer... and here I was actually contemplating how
you stuck that probe into the shrimp's butts, really.

I guess... or anal. So which digicam.. it takes nice crisp shots for
inexpensive... depends what you mean by inexpensive of course. These
days digicams are like a sixth of what they cost five years ago...
except for professional cams, over $200 you're more into bells and
whistles than photographics.

This jewel is a Canon PowerShot A75. 3.2 mega pixels. It
actually has some manual adjustments that I don't know how to use yet and
maybe never will. Seems to think for itself on AUTO and most of the shots
look pretty good.

It was less than $200 with tax.
