Garlic Lobster


Garlic Lobster

    

    Lobster is a type of shellfish that is typically prepared by boiling or steaming. Despite its desirable reputation today, lobster was not always known as a pricey indulgence. In the 17th century, colonists in Massachusetts considered lobster shells in a home to be a sign of poverty and only fed lobster to their servants. In the 1940s, it was possible to buy a can of baked beans for 53 cents per pound and canned lobster for 11 cents per pound.


Benefits

1: Omega 3

Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce cholesterol.
Fish and shellfish, such as lobster, are especially important for providing omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in very few foods.
Although the fatty acid content in lobster is not the highest among fish and shellfish, it is still a considerable source of these essential nutrients.

Copper works with iron to form red blood cells. Consuming adequate copper will benefit people with all forms of anemia. Lobster has one of the highest copper contents of any food.

One of the best things about this undersea delicacy is the high content of protein that can be found in that delicious meat.

4: Strengthens Bones

To ensure healthy and durable bones well into your old age, it is essential that you get the recommended dose of essential minerals every day. Lobster is not only one of the tastiest meals around, but also one of the densest when it comes to calcium and phosphorus.

5: Reduces Inflammation

It has been shown that the protein and “good” fat content found in this crustacean can actually result in decreased inflammation within the body.

Reflection paper on "How to be the most destructive force on campus

Reflection paper on "How to be the most destructive force on campus"

M. Craig Pittman symposium on destructive “How to be the most destructive force on campus” was of its kind. It revealed how things which seem impossible on the campus were possible. The symposium had a lot of lessons especially for students who don’t believe in their abilities and potential. The speaker talked about a campus newspaper by the name Trop. The paper was at one time seen as a campus public relation arm while others viewed it as a Newspaper. The writing and the strength of the editors were to be seen later when it started hitting the headlines. Right away at this point, I learned the importance of exploring our potential.   


           The symposium gave me a chance of learning the art of coming up with new things, doing them differently to achieve greater heights results. Being a campus paper and run by the members of the university, the Trap could not be compared with other local newspapers which had resources and fully skilled human resource. But from the headlines that featured in it, the public perception of the Trap changed. This was when headlines such as “Drug busts in the dorms” and “Ethics commission investigates of a
From this pace, I was encouraged, and by now the speaker had already stirred my mind, and I could see things with a possibility mentality. According to the speaker, this was indeed an achievement.
I also discovered that the Trap paper had organized manpower who knew what they were doing. This is because the paper had also funny topics published. This told so much about the paper and the determination that was with the team. Some of the funny articles ever printed on the Trap paper are the “Midnight raid on the art room” and the “adventures of the Thorndike Pike.” This made me think and reflect on my level of organization in doing things. This point also made me reflect on the inclusivity of the different aspects of the main idea. Judging from my point, this job could not be accomplished by a single person but rather by a team; I was able to learn the art of carrying out my activities when I am in a team. From the symposium, the risks and challenges were also discussed. This was through sharing challenges that were experienced in the laying of the foundation of the Trap newspaper. At one time, David McFarland was fired; this caused the funding of the paper to stop momentarily.         
What motivated me most and encouraged me were the lessons I learned from the achievements of the Trap. There are important lessons I learned in the field of journalism and working as an editor. Some of these lessons are that words do matter in journalism, powerful people are always hurt by the truth, and it makes them so angry.
From the lessons, I learned that one should always mind the messaging they are passing and if the message is genuine or it meant to tarnish someone’s image. An important message from this is professionalism. Truth in journalism was discussed at length. The symposium was so informative especially to the students since they have been able to see the results of any positive effort.

Chinese Shrimp Meatball Soup

Chinese Style Shrimp Meatball Soup


   In a cold weather, soup is your best friend! If you are a shrimp lover, then I hope you can like this soup! — Chinese Style Shrimp Meatball Soup
   If you don't like shrimp! let me tell you to shrimp benefits!
   They're low in calories.One medium shrimp provides about 7 calories, which means a dozen add up to less than 85 calories-roughly 15 less than a 3-ounce chicken breast (about the size of a deck of cards in thickness and width).They're protein-rich.In addition to their water content, shrimp are primarily made of protein. Aside from protein, shrimp provide a pretty impressive array of nutrients.
    So in my opinion, shrimp is really good food. If you are not allergic to it then you should love it!

Alright! Let's learn this soup now!


Shrimp Balls:
1 lb large easy-peel shrimp
1 scallion, minced
1 large egg, beaten
1 Tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp peeled and minced fresh ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground white pepper

Soup:
shrimp shells from the peeled shrimp
3 scallions
fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
soy sauce
Asian dark sesame oil

vegetables:
Chinese cabbage
parsley
mushrooms(You can also join any of your favorite vegetables)

To make the shrimp balls, peel and devein the shrimp, reserving the shells for the soup. Pulse the shrimp meat in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade about 10 times, or until processed into a very coarse puree. Transfer to a bowl. Add the minced scallion, egg, cornstarch, ginger, salt, and pepper and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours.


     To make the soup, crush the scallions, the ginger, and garlic.Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes to blend the flavors.

    Using a heaping tablespoon for each, drop spoonfuls of the shrimp mixture into the simmering broth--they will firm up when they hit the broth. Do not attempt to shape the mixture into smooth balls with your hands. Cover and simmer until the shrimp balls are firm and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
 
    Finally, add the prepared vegetables. (Vegetables can be cut into any shape you like)
    Ladle into bowls and serve with soy sauce and sesame oil passed on the side for seasoning.



Korean Crab Soup



Korean Crab Soup



Asians like to eat crabs, which is my favorite! Spring crabs are tasty. Blue crabs are immigrants from the east coast of North America, where they are common and extensively fished. It is a blue crab season where I live and I was inspired to make crab stew in Korean style. Blue crabs are closest to the Korean crabs. However, Korean crabs are much softer, which means easy to peel and take the meat out.of the shell. That doesn't mean you can't have the delicious stew. If you can find the Korean crabs, that would be the best, but blue crabs will do the job.



To clean, just separate the top shell from its body and clean out. The orange part is the eggs, I would keep them. Cut off the skinny legs except for the claws. Save the legs and the top shell to make stock with.

Rinse very well, and quarter the crabs.

You will also need these vegetables. Chinese cabbage, Korean tofu, Kimichi, bean sprouts, tomatoes, parsley, mushrooms. These vegetables are very healthy vegetables, of course, you can also add your favorite vegetables. These vegetables can be easily bought in Asian supermarkets.




Make the seasoning paste by combining chili flakes, chili paste, soybean paste, garlic, soy sauce for soup, and fish sauce. Add five glasses of water and boil. Add the crab pieces and bring to a gentle boil. Cook on low heat for 15 minutes.

First, add kimchi and tofu, because we want the soup to have more kimchi flavor. Tofu is more difficult to taste, so need more time. Simmer for 15 minutes. Finally, add all the vegetables and garlic, and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning according to your taste.


This time can be accompanied by a bowl of rice, served with rice and enjoy the great flavor of the ocean. Crab stew is one of the most popular seafood stew in Korean!I hope you can like this Korean crab soup this is a very healthy dish, if you are in the diet or want to eat healthy this is definitely the best choice!
