THE COOKIN’ CORNER…

Shrimp from the Orient! Instead of taking your family our to your favorite Chinese restaurant, try cooking up this delicious dish right in your own kitchen. For variety, substitute chicken or pork for the shrimp.

Preparation and cooking time: About 35 minutes.
Serves 4 people.

½ cups long grain white rice
¾ cup fat-skimmed chicken broth
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. white wine
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. hot chili flakes
¼ tsp. salt
1 lb. Broccoli florets, rinsed and cut into 1-inch-wide pieces
1 tsp. salad oil
1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
2 tsps. minced garlic
1 lb. (41 to 50 per lb.) shelled, viand shrimp
¼ cup chopped roasted, salted peanuts

IN a 2 – 3 quart pan, combine ice and 2 ¾ cups water. Bring to a boil over heat and cook until most of the water is absorbed, 7 to 10 minutes. Turn heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender to bite, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Spoon rice into a bowl.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix broth, soy sauce, vinegar, cornstarch, sugar, chili flakes, and salt until smooth. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to pan. Stir until sauce boils. Pour shrimp into a bowl and sprinkle with peanuts. Serve with cooked rice.

Are You Buying The Right Luggage?

Consumer experts recommend buying your luggage based on your most regular mode of transportation.

Air travel: Opt for hard-sided luggage with wheels. That hard exterior will survive the baggage handling machines, and the wheels allow you to move through the airport without porters or carts.

Train travel: Buy soft-sided luggage with large handles so you can easily lift it onto the overhead rack.

Car trips: Choose duffel bags for flexible arranging in the trunk and or suit bags that can be hung on the side hooks.
