Ärende: Shirley! Did you hear that?
===================================
Hi       3/23/2012

Just reading posts here, with the TV on a Orioles/Red Sox Grapefruit game,
when I was stunned to hear the umpire clearly say "Strike TWO!"  

I sat quietly savoring the moment until doubt entered my mind.  I said to
Shirley "Did you hear that?"  She hadn't, so I ran it back and listened
carefully.  It was true, the Umpire really said "Strike TWO!"  We thought
it a classic moment.

Do you think I should have recorded it?   After all, what baseball fan is
going to believe me?

   Note:  Chow Fan is best made the day before you plan to serve it.
   
   Cut boned chicken into 1/2 squares; place in a bowl and sprinkle with
half
   the garlic salt, half the sherry and half the cornstarch. Cut the peeled
   shrimp into pieces 1″ long.  Put them in a bowl with the rest of
the garlic
   salt, sherry and cornstarch.
   
   Heat 2 T oil over high heat in a wok or large pan.  Add onions and
celery
   and stir-fry for 2 minutes.  Add soy sauce; reduce heat to medium, cover
   and steam one minute.  Add mushrooms, cover and steam 2 more minutes.
   Remove mixture to a large bowl.
   
   Add remaining oil to wok, reduce heat to low and add ginger and garlic.
   Brown lightly, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Add chicken and
   shrimp.  Stir-fry two minutes, or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
   
   Add cooked rice, onion mixture and ham.  Stir until hot.  Remove from
heat,
   put into a storage container and chill overnight. When ready to serve,
   reheat in a wok or large pot.  Stir in snow peas and cook two minutes.
Make
   a well in the center of the wok and stir in the beaten eggs. Stir them
as
   they cook, about 3 minutes, so they scramble and mix with the other
   ingredients. Cover and cook over medium heat another couple of minutes.
   Serve at once.
   
   Serves 12 as part of a family style Chinese dinner, or 4 as a main dish.
   
   Vicki’s notes:
   
   *  When Cathe originally gave me this recipe in the mid 70’s it called
for
   just 3/4 cup shrimp (1/2 pound), 1/2 cup each diced onion and celery,
1/2
   cup boiled ham (1/4 lb), 1/2 cup peas (cooked just tender), 3 eggs and
   sprouts. Also, just 1 clove garlic, which was heated with the ginger
   (discarded when brown) before cooking the chicken.
   *  I like to add 1/2 c red bell pepper (diced) for color.
