I never have been a traditionalist.
That's what generally separates ordinary cooks from good cooks!

Exactly. Experimentation is what makes a good dish.

lol....I love how it's called "razzledazzlerecipes.com" then it gives
the most boring, tasteless recipe in the world.

Indeed...... ;-)

Seafood lends itself to a lot of variety.
Small, careful amounts of spices can enhance it greatly.
One just has to be careful not to overpower it.

That's why, for 2 lbs. of mix, I only used 5 spears of asparagus and
used pre-cooked garlic. Roasting or deep frying garlic cloves takes the
"nip" out of them and just leaves a very mild garlic flavor that is
excellent for enhancement.

YMMV.......

I did end up making the crab rangoon over the weekend like I'd promised
myself. :-) It's a lot of work but well worth it!

I mixed:

1 lb. fresh frozen shredded crab meat
1 lb. cream cheese
5 cloves minced deep fried garlic (a decent substitute for roasted
garlic)
5 spears fresh asparagus, chopped fine
a generous sprinkling of dried dill weed

Placed into won ton wrappers and deep fried for 1 minute or so.

Wow, those look really good, thanks for the idea. I hate those
takeout rangoons that have been sitting around in a steamtable for
74983743984732890 hours. I never would have thought to add asparagus,
nice!

No. Not nice. A horrible idea. It's nasty enough that a lot of
people put scallions in them, or other nasty green shit like bok choy.
Luckily, the local takeeoutee near here does not. Also, a 1:1 ratio of
crab:cream cheese is a bit much.

You seem to be under the impression that I care about your opinion.

You? You just remind me of puke.

Wow. How original.


This is simply untrue. The sentiment is mutual, I'm sure. However,
your recipe for fried cream cheese wontons doesn't tickle my fancy.

Not my recipe, just the first I found on the web w/o green nastiness.

Your lack of imagination is glaring.


If I wanted to eat something like that, I'd just go to the corner Hop
Sing and order some day old takeout.

Why day old? The one near my place fries them to order. Of course,
they don't use a 1:2 ratio, more like 1:10 or 1:12

Who cares? I find the OP's recipe to be more enticing, I can make
them myself, instead of watching some half-wit that probably hasn't
washed his hands make them, then charge me $5.00 for a half dozen of
the fried nasties.


You and your silly notions about food need a reality check. I'd
venture to wager that you weigh about 300 pounds, as well. Fat ****s
usually have pretty clichèd ideas about food.

Decide for yourself:

LOL.....is that supposed to impress me or something?

Only in that I'm not hiding anything, nor attempting in any meaningful
way to be anonymous. Maybe you could put up some pix.

I could stand to lose a few pounds, but I'm no 300 pounds.

Fair enough, you just have no imagination, and have very silly ideas
about food.

Wholesome ingredients?
Simple, unmuddled recipes?

Heh, another middle aged man in a mid-life crisis desperately trying
to appear "cool" by appearing to be into the punk scene. Haw haw haw!

I was part of the late 70's thing. I retired from Rock'n Roll for 15+
years, but came to believe that I have something to offer. If you've
never seen one of our shows, and especially if you haven't heard The
Bonobos, then you don't have a clue. We eat boring, nondescript punk
bands for lunch.
The stlpunk site has some songs. Did you listen? Read the lyrics?
I've been middle aged for quite a few years, and I'm not trying to be
cool. I AM hot, not so much in the sexy sense, but hot. Maybe I'll
put up some videos soon, since there are sites that host them for free.

So, what have you got going yourself?
