It makes me feel old when...

...I refer to "Army Street" and no one knows what I'm talking about. Boo.

honey walnut shrimp

D loves honey walnut shrimp, so I've tried a few recipes previously (mostly unsuccessfully), but I think I finally hit on a good one last night.

Honey Walnut Shrimp

1. Boil walnuts in water, changing water frequently, until water runs clear. Add 1 cup sugar and boil again.

2. Remove walnuts from water and fry in hot oil until golden brown, then add honey and cool on cookie sheet.

3. Whip 4 egg whites until white and foamy, add 2/3 cup mochiko and water. Dip deveined shrimp in batter and fry.

4. Toss fried shrimp with mayonnaise, condensed milk, and honey, then top with walnuts.

how my brain works

I think I may be a terrible person.

friend #1:	Didn't you see my super cute photo of <his kid who I've only met once doing nothing particularly interesting> on Facebook?
me:	No, I found Facebook kind of tedious, so I stopped using it.

friend #2:	Didn't you read about me meeting Tyson Beckford on Facebook? He has a little bit of a Jamaican accent! And he called me baby!
me:	Hmm. (briefly considers reactivating Facebook account)

In my defense, Tyson Beckford continues to be super hot.
