Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 For the marinade: Whisk together all marinade ingredients in medium-sized bowl. 2 For the sauce: Whisk together all the sauce ingredients together in another medium-sized bowl. 3 For the fried rice: Slice the shrimp in half lengthwise then crosswise. Add shrimp to bowl with sauce. Toss to coat. Set aside for 20 minutes. 4 Place wok over high heat until lightly smoking. Add bacon. Stir-fry until much of the fat has rendered off and bacon begins to crisp up, one to two minutes. Turn off heat, spoon out bacon, and drain on paper towel-lined plate. Transfer all but 1/2 tablespoon of fat to another container and save for another use. 5 Turn heat back to high. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of peanut oil. When it begins to smoke, add eggs.

Food Joke

VIRUS WARNING**** If you received an e-mail with a subject line of "Badtimes," delete it immediately without reading it! It is the most dangerous E-mail virus yet. It will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will demagnitize the strips on all your credit cards, reprogram your ATM access codes, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play. It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer and leave your dirty socks on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only static while stuck in traffic. Badtimes will make you fall in love with a hardened pedophile. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. Badtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up and leave the hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattress and pillows, it will refill your skim milk with whole. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few of the signs. BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!
