Silver Screen Suppers

Ducke wuckie!  Mmm.  This was good but strangely not as good as the time I made it for me and Lolly.  Why?  Not sure.  Maybe because I was using Japanese rice wine rather than Chinese?  I’ll have to fiddle around with it a bit to recapture the daintiness of the version 2.  This is why [...]

Ah, these turned out perfectly!  I decided to make some of these as well as the Ice Box Cookies for the “Women in Early Hollywood” event and good job I did – they were all scoffed!  This one is definitely going in the Silver Screen Suppers book and I have retranslated the American cups measurements [...]
