Osteoarthritis- a systematic review of long-term safety implications for osteoarthritis of the knee – PMC

There is no cure for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and typically patients live approximately 30-years with the disease. Most common medical treatments result in short-term palliation of symptoms with little consideration of long-term risk.

Manual for the Carrier heater at Sweeny

OL got me trying to figure out why the heater unit is not working at Sweeny. I tried changing the thermostat. No improvement. Where’s the filter for the unit? I don’t see it.

This is what happens when you are a guy… you’re expected to know what to do when there’s some kind of mechanical problem.

Leland Wong’s Award Winning Dumpling Recipe

My Step By Step Dumpling Recipe

Ingredients needed;
5 lbs. Ground Pork Shoulder
1 lb. Shelled Shrimp
3 tsp. grated ginger
3 tsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
4 tbsp. shaoxing wine
2 tsp. white pepper
1 tbsp. sesame oil
1-1/2 tbsp. corn starch
2 tsp. chicken stock powder
1 large chopped napa cabbage
3 tsp. minced garlic (granulated garlic ok…maybe 2 tsp.)
1 cup of water

First begin with chopping up the Napa cabbage in to small pieces. Put it in a large bowl and sprinkle some salt onto the cabbage. The salt draws out the water from the cabbage. After 20-30 minutes, wring out the water from the cabbage. Discard the water. Set aside.

Take the shelled shrimp and soak it in a little water with about a teaspoon of baking powder. This step is optional but if you like a crispier texture to your shrimp, do this. Then chop the shrimp into roughly 1/4″ pieces. I like little chunks so that the shrimp has a little crunch to it.

Seasoning the chopped pork; (the order is not important). add salt, Shaoxing wine, sugar, soy sauce, white pepper, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame seed oil, chicken stock, chopped shrimp, 1 cup of water and mix well together.

I usually go for a visual ratio of half seasoned pork/shrimp to drained Napa cabbage. A little over or under would still do. I then mix everything together and the filling is ready.

Dough Preparation:
4 cups of flour in a large mixing bowl. Slowly add warm water while simultaneously stirring with chopsticks. when the flour begin to be little clumps, add a teaspoon of salt and table spoon of oil. Use hands to knead the dough. When flour is somewhat mixed, still kind of lumpy, throw a damp towel over the dough and allow the dough to relax for 20-30 minutes. Then knead the dough another five minutes.

From here you cut the dough into small pieces. Roll the dough with a dowel roller. A bit hard to explain but go on YouTube and look up how to fold dumplings. A bit of practice is needed here.

I make a slurry with water and glutinous rice flour. About a tablespoon of glutinous rice flour to one quart of water. Mix.

Cooking; In a non stick frying pan, add oil, place folded dumplings onto the pan. Allow to brown a bit, then add a little of the slurry about 1/8″ deep. Medium heat.

Cover with lid. Allow to cook till water is evaporated and a nice crispy later has formed. Place a plate on the dumplings and flip the pan over onto the dish and there you have it!

Other variation suggestions: Chives, yellow chives, celery and cilantro. shiitake mushrooms. Lamb with cumin celery and cilantro (a favorite), Chicken, crab, fish paste, lop cheung.

For a vegetarian filling; firm tofu, vermicelli, bean curd (fu juk), carrots, shiitake mushroom, celery, water chestnuts, etc… be creative!

Fentanyl Addict

Drug addiction has become an epidemic

To end this would take some drastic measures by our government.

It would not sit well with our civil liberties but it would mean forcibly interning all the drug addicts and homeless into internment camps. With a ton of social workers and doctors to work with each person to access their situation to overcome their addiction and mental problems. Provide housing and vocational training. I know this sounds very extreme but this current situation has become extreme. This will be very costly to the taxpayers. If our country stop spending money on wars and concentrate its own people. I know this is impossible so further on down the tubes our country will go.
