Experiment 19 - The Selection

And . . . we're back.  Yes, I took an unscheduled, unannounced week off.  Things were getting rather discombobulated and I needed to take a moment to refocus.  Also, last weekend I had multiple things going on outside the house, so the chances of making any specific recipe were pretty much non-existent.

At the place I worked back in the early 90s, we often had get-togethers outside of working hours.  This was back in the days when sometimes you actually liked the people you worked with, and didn't mind seeing them socially.  These events usually involved food, and one of the women I worked with, Betty, often would make this week's dish.  I could have eaten every last piece, every single time.  As with most of the recipes that I've kept stashed away for all these years, I've never before attempted to make these before.  Hopefully they will be as good as I recall.

Won Tons
1 egg
1/2 lb ground pork
1 Tbsp chopped scallion
8 water chestnuts, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp soy sauce
12 wonton skins

I think I actually have some sesame oil in the cabinet, although it's probably not any good.  Everything else should be easy enough to find at the market.  There is actually a recipe on the back of this piece of paper for the skins, but I'm going to go with store-bought this time, if that doesn't turn out to be a problem.  Just in case, though, I'll list the ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
