THE seaweed soup recipe

This is the way I do it. There are several recipes' I like mine best.
2 Chicken breasts
2 chicken thighs
Cut into thin strips, rub with powdered chicken boullion powder. Sparse amount.
Cook in two tablespoons olive oil, with two T of Soy sauce and one T of rice vinegar add one T chopped garlic toward the end of cooking, so it doesn't get too dark.
6 to 8 cups of cold water (because it tastes better for some reason) In a BIG POT
1 smallish bok choi- chopped
Ten sheets of dried Seaweed Nori, but I am going to try Dulse or Wakame too.
ten small green onions- chopped
1 clove garlic- smooshed
3 scallions -chopped
cup of chinese pea pods
2 T soy sauce
1T rice vinegar
Cup of sliced Shiitake mushrooms or the regular kind
1 Teaspoon of powdered Vegatable stock
I put all the ingredients in the pot with the water, and add the chicken after it has cooked. I cook to just below boiling or it gets too foamy and looks vile.
It is important not to have dinner that looks vile. Especially if your dinner guest is nine years old. Best to have them help in the preperation then they are more likely to eat it.
We like the veggies crisp tender so the cooking time is only about twenty minutes long. Add a pinch of ground ginger, and a sprinkle of chinese five spice.
Don't put in carrots or potatoes, it ruins the whole green effect.
EAT!
freezes well too.
Another thing is to add chinese noodles (the fresh ones in the produce section, not chow main noodles.) a few minutes before serving and mix till tender, but I like it best without the noodles, the nine year old likes the noodles.

Save a prayer - Duran Duran

You saw me standing by the wall, corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun, so you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go

Don't save a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside, look you down into the well
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance (like all dreamers can't find another way)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after, save it till the morning after

Pretty looking road, I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise, I'll melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand
But we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after

Save a prayer 'til the morning after
