on Law and Order dictate?  He's pretty good.  I'd do his reports.  He's a dream! 

like Negro, is very outmoded now and I rarely hear it from the docs anymore.  I believe it used to refer to Chinese, Korean, and Japanese people,  as well as Vietnam and other countries in S.E. Asia.  - while Asian is more all-encompassing and can describe people from India, Filipinos, etc.  Handicapped is another word that sounds old-fashioned now (except when referring to parking spaces, for some reason). It has been replaced by disabled.     Either of them is better than the very PC "physically challenged" or "differently abled" or even worse - "handicapable."  gag.....

Here are the links to the recipes that I printed off of Google.  (I love the Internet!  No more cookbooks, only Google for recipes.)  I cheated on the plum sauce by buying a jar because our plums aren't quite ripe yet.  Buy the egg roll skins instead of trying to make your own, too.

For the fried rice, you can use any type of rice.  I use brown basmati or jasmine rice mostly.  You can also throw in extra vegetables and leftover meats (pork, beef, chicken) to make a meal out of it instead of a side dish.  I like those Oriental pea pods, bok choy, water chestnuts, baby corn, and Chinese cabbage.

I'm going to combine and modify the eggroll recipes so I have shrimp/pork egg rolls.  I use canola oil instead of vegetable, peanut, or sesame oil.  I don't care for sesame seeds or bamboo sprouts, so I add extra water chestnuts.  Use frozen or fresh instead of canned crab or shrimp.  Use diced, boneless pork chops instead of ground pork or sausage.
