Ever had a dinner where majic happened among the elements yet very much a 'toss
in what ya got' lazy style?

That was last night and Don asked me to write that one down as he wants it as a
regular.

This is very much a 'short stint' cookery.  Excellent for people who can't
stand for long periods of time.

1- Scrub 3 Yukon potatoes or other waxy potato.  cut longwise then the halves
longwise again for 4 'pickle spear shapes'.  (break)

2- Get big pot for boiling the potatoes.  Chop across the potatos for largish
bites and place in water in the pot.  Dice 1/2 a small onion and put to the
side.  (break)

3- Wash 4-6 stocks of mature Bok Choy.  Number depends on size of stocks (ie;
outer vs inner).  Slice Bock Choy (including whites) longwise down the center
then across to bitesize.  Place greens in flat bottomed wok or deep sided
frying pan. (break)

4- Chop 8oz mushrooms, excellent choice is mature (bigger) 'straw mushrooms',
if you can find them.  Any type mushroom will do well enough though.  Add to
wok along with 1/2 the onions. Retrieve grainy mustard from fridge to warm a
bit.  (break)

5- Drain potatoes and run hottest tap water then fill pot and set to boil for 1
hour (15 mins to hit boil, 45 to cook).  Retrieve containers for leftovers
(with lids) and set strainer in sink.  (break). 


6- Drain potatoes then put back in pot.  Add remaining onion, 2 1/2 TB brown
grainy mustard, 1/2 cup mayo (NOT miracle whimp!), black pepper to taste (salt
at serving time) and setaside.  Place 1/4cup per serving of frozen shrimp in
regular frying pan with 2TB butter.  Now wait for family to get home.

7- Start shrimp.  Add olive oil to coat wok contents and start it.  Alternate
tossing shrimp and wok contents on a medium heat.  Ready in 3 minutes.  Add
shrimp to wok and serve.

The potato salad is 'USA southernized' hence no vinegar but mayo.  It uses no
sugar and is savory vice sweet.  Celery is optional for 'crunch' but no pickles
or sweet relish.  Red bell pepper dice would look nice in both dishes.

Look good to anyone?  https://postimg.cc/HcQ7vkHZ
