This came in my email today from a magazine....thought it sounded good and wanted to share it with you!!

Shrimp and Ginger Stir-Fry

Serves 4; Prep time: 30 minutes; Total time: 30 minutes
This stir-fry is good with cooked rice, or try it over a bed of shredded Napa cabbage.


3 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar

2 teaspoons sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

coarse salt and ground pepper

1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined medium shrimp, tails removed

4 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 red bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

8 scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces, white and green parts separated

1. Press out ginger juice (see below); whisk in soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, and 1 cup water; set sauce aside.

2. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook half the shrimp, turning once, until just opaque, 3 to 4 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add another tablespoon oil; repeat with remaining shrimp. Set shrimp aside.

3. Add remaining tablespoon oil to pan; cook bell peppers and white parts of scallions over medium-high heat, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

4. Whisk reserved sauce; pour into pan, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 1 minute. Add shrimp and green parts of scallions; stir until coated with sauce, 30 seconds more. Serve immediately.

I am a raw food vegan so I need healthy fats and more calories in my diet, but I am fearing that since I'm also trying to lose a few pounds that eating avocados and nuts will only keep me from reaching my goal.

Do I stay away from them?

So what say you, how do we band together and get this show on the road. We have to get the point across to our represenatives, the officals WE elect into office to make this a campaign promise? How do we get this to be a bill in congress that gets passed? Do petitions work? Any ideas?
Legalizing Pot.
It's only illegal because in the 1930's during the depression, america needed a scape goat to blame the problems of the depression on and they chose marijuana and mexicans. They said the mexicans were bringing pot into the country and raping our women and stealing our jobs. Alcohol was illegal too at the time. Nixon was the first president to declare war on drugs. Damn Nixon.

Pot smokers, aren't you tired of the stigmatism that society has placed on us? Aren't you tired of everybody thinking that pot smokers are the dregs of society and are to blame for all the ills of society? Aren't we just like everybody else, but maybe a little less hostile? Shouldn't we be accepted like everyone else? I am so tired of the misconception that people have about us. I think we need to make this an issure that need to be dealt with in the next election. I for one, if it were legalized, would not mind paying tax on a pack of joints as long as the tax money went to the schools or charities or law enforecement. We could take some power away from the streets and give it to our government where it belongs. It woulld free up space in our jails for more serious criminals. Help me out here, what do you think, any fellow smokers out there...
