The Spicy Honey has an office BBQ and thought it would be a good idea for The Goddess to “whip up” dessert. He’s thoughtful that way.

It’s sort of a benchmark for him, when he considers the quality of a Chinese restaurant. We’ll see what he thinks about this version, which isn’t deep-fried and is a bit lighter, but loaded with flavor. Continue reading
