Cooking instruction summary:

Shred, wash, and blanch the bokchoy in boiling water for a few minutes or until tender. Add the scallions during the last 30 seconds of blanching.

Season with salt and pepper, to taste. In a large, heavy pot, heat oil to 365 degrees F. Spoon the crab mixture onto each wrapper, covering 3/4 of the wrapper. Brush the remaining 1/4 of the wrapper with the egg wash. Fold sides in, roll up and press lightly to seal. Carefully add to hot oil, and deep-fry for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season lightly. On each plate, place 3 segments of pink grapefruit and 3 slices of avocado. Mix the salad leaves with salt and pepper and some Pink Grapefruit Dressing, and place in the center of each plate. Sprinkle the toasted almonds around the outside then dribble Pink Grapefruit Dressing around the outside. Cut spring rolls in half on the bias and arrange on top of the salad. In a medium skillet, melt the sugar over medium heat, and then add the shallots and honey. Pour in the strained juice and cook until reduced to 1/3 of the volume. Let cool, and then transfer mixture to a blender. Puree, slowly adding the grapeseed oil and rice wine vinegar. Add enough grenadine for color and then stir in the lime juice.

Food Joke

The Freudian Slip Ted and John are setting in the bar and John asked Ted if he bought the train tickets to go see the Steelers game this weekend. Ted says yea and kinda looked a little funny. John said is there anything wrong? Ted said naw, everythings OK. They take a few more sips of beer and Ted ask John if he had ever embarrassed himself by saying something he didnít mean to say. John said sure, it happens to everyone. Ted said thereís a name for that isnít there...you know, where you accidently use the wrong words when you are trying to say something. Yea, says John, itís called a Freudian slip. Yea, thats it said Ted, I couldnít think of the word. Why are you asking said John? Well, yesterday I went to the train station to get the train tickets for Pittsburg, and the girl selling tickets has this incredible set of jugs. I pulled out the money and laid it on the counter and asked her to give me two pickets to Titsburg and then had to embarrassingly say I mean two tickets to Pittsburg. God, it just embarressed the shit out of me. You ever done anything that stupid? ì Funny you would askî, said John. Just this morning my wife and I...gosh, I guess weíve been married going on 23 years now..., were having breakfast. I was reading the paper and drinking my coffie. I meant to say, ìdear, would you please pass me the sugarî,but instead I said, 'You fucking bitch, youíve ruined my life.'"
