christmas dinner is always somehow mediocre at best, due to only being left
with our "plan b" places to dine at at best.
xiao long bao (Shanghainese soup dumplings), chinese broccoli, and kung pao chicken
at m shanghai was decent, though we always feel like we've been gypped after eating there,
knowing fully how much it should really cost in chinatown.
oh well.

my sweet friend amy sent me these cookies,
what a pretty cheer-up!

too pretty to eat - thanks amy!
