Christmas (early) dinner - just my mom and me. She wanted Chinese take out, so I obliged. Fried pork and cabbage dumplings, shrimp fried rice, Kung Pao chicken, broccoli with wood ears in oyster sauce, and dry fried string beans. I made a plate up for BF’s dinner off the plane tomorrow and sent most of the rest of the leftovers home with her. Found a recipe for cupcakes for two to make for our dessert. I went in a nutty direction instead of cherry, though. Very good and probably just as well that it only made two! I swapped out the topping of just melted chocolate chips for a proper ganache. 16 g. bittersweet chocolate to 19 ml heavy cream made just enough for two cupcakes.
