I've been on the phone spinning my wheels, but now for some refreshments!

Steamed Pork Bao Buns Recipe courtesy Sandra Lee
Show: Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee
Episode: Chinese

2 tablespoons oil
1/3 cup finely chopped scallions
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced ginger
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 cups char siu pork (barbecue pork), finely chopped
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 (11-ounce) cans breadstick dough
1 head Napa cabbage

In a skillet, heat the oil and saute the scallions, garlic, and ginger over medium heat. Stir in the hoisin sauce and oyster sauce, adding barbecue pork while stirring. Reduce heat to low. Thoroughly combine cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water. Pour over pork mixture and stir until sauce thickens. Set aside. On a floured surface, partially separate breadsticks, leaving 2 thick layers of dough. Roll each into a ball. Working with 1 ball at a time, roll out to make a 3-inch circle. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in center of each round. Gather dough up and twist to secure tightly. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover with kitchen towel. Arrange cabbage leaves on the bottom of 2 large bamboo steamers. Place 6 pork buns on each steamer. Steam buns for 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Alain's Sweet and Spicy Asian Drumsticks Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2006
Show: Emeril Live
Episode: Drumsticks

2 cups orange juice
1 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons orange zest
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced ginger
2 tablespoons minced green onion
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
12 chicken drumsticks
2 tablespoons Essence, recipe follows
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large saute pan set over medium-high heat, place the orange juice, pineapple juice, orange zest, garlic, ginger, green onion, sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin, sugar and red pepper flakes. Bring the pan to a boil and stir occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid has reduced to a thick syrup, about 20 minutes.

Season the drumsticks with the Essence and salt. Place on a sheet pan or casserole and drizzle liberally with the glaze. Place the casserole in the oven, and cook until the chicken is cooked through and caramelized, about 40 to 45 minutes. To serve, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, and the sesame seeds. Serve with any unused glaze on the side.

I don't know about you guys, but I feel like having scalding hot tea w/lemon and honey...with a shot of whiskey on the side.

INTRODUCTION

At this time, I would like to introduce myself, BLUEPLUM, as the newest known consultant to THE FIRM - long time lurker, first time contributor, yadda yadda.

My self-appointed title henceforth is, 'Lowly Research Assistant, Special Circumstances Division, ANNA-polis'

(However, this title will not be referenced again, as I detest titles, having held too many in my lifetime.)

My qualifications for said position can be demonstrated in the following bit of research (one of several to follow):

POST 1: THE FAX GOES TO COLLEGE

summary of what we know to date about shipped prescriptions:

FAXED SHOPPING LIST

1. this list was allegedly faxed by Eroshevich to Dr. Kapoor, also allegedly faxed by Eroshevich to Key Pharmacy

2. Eroshevich publically claims the fax was 'stolen'...

3. Fax is also allegedly faxed to [a university] by "pharmacist" ( see, 'COMMENT' below)

FOR: "M. CHASE"
REQUESTING INDIVIDUAL: Khris Erosovich
REQUESTED DRUGS, handwritten list, signed 'Khris':

Dilaudid 2mg/ml (injectable) 20 ml 'bottle' '4 bottles'
Lorazapam InTENSOL (oral) 30 ml 'bottle' '2 bottles'
SOMA 350mg 180 tabs (total)'2 bottles'
Dalmane 30mg 240 pills '2 bottles'
PREXIGE 400mg 240 pills '1 bottle'
Methadone 5mg (pills) 300 pills '1 bottle'

(random thought: is it 'common practice' in the medical field to order prescription medications by 'bottle'?)

THE FAX GOES TO COLLEGE

COMMENT: The 'fax' may not have come from the pharmacy or from Dr. Kapoor - it may have been leaked by someone at 'a local prestigious university'....

BASIS FOR COMMENT:

source: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,259841,00.html

"Eroshevich was put in touch by phone with an addiction and pharmacology expert at a prestigious local university. Smith's local pharmacist...put them in touch. The expert told Eroshevich that the medicines and doseS...were inappropriate and dangerous."
"...'He told her she was in way over her head...that Anna Nicole should be hospitalized," a source who knew about the conversation told me last night."

"...Eroshevich was referred to treatment centers where Smith's problems — chronic pain and grief over her son's death — could be addressed professionally.

"..Even though the expert warned her that the drugs she was ordering were "horrible combinations" and that one dose was enough to kill someone, Eroshevich ignored him.

"...Luckily, sources say, Kapoor was reassured...that she was not breastfeeding her newborn baby girl.

"...Nevertheless, Kapoor was apparently horrified when Eroshevich told him, "I need something to knock her out."

as-yet unanswered questions:

1) when did Stern arrive in the Bahamas? did this coorelate to the 8/25/06 order for 'injectable' methadone?
2) was Anna on 'injectable' methadone prior to Bahamas?
3) any history of prior injectables of any substance other than Vitamin B12/B ?
4) any other drug shipments for which airbills have yet to be located? (specifically injectables/syringes)
5) When did Eroshevich first arrive in the Bahamas? any 'hand-carried' filled RX's brought in by Eroshevich?
(specifically, injectables and/or syringes)
6) history of RX's filled at Bahamian pharmacies? (specifically, injectables and/or syringes)
7) prior history of suppository use by Anna?
8) indications of suppository use by Daniel?

Thanks to all in advance for welcoming me to THE FIRM.
