glass_icarusAwesome things about the weekend:
1. Hung out with friend M, who was visiting from out of town! I wouldn't recommend Saigon Grill (which we went to on Friday) because of its poor treatment of workers, but that one wasn't my choice. On the other hand, late-night Chicken & Rice is always satisfying, and I think Zoe's is going to be a new favorite brunch spot of mine. :)
2. ALSO (and more importantly), friends & I accomplished these creme brulee cupcakes!
Mods to the recipe: we reduced the sugar by 1/2 cup and substituted 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for the vanilla extract (because we forgot to buy it). Also, we used this creme brulee recipe for the filling. Since we poured the leftover cupcake batter into a mini muffin tin, halving the recipe was sufficient for the full-size cupcakes we ended up with; you might want to do 2/3 for 18 full-size cupcakes.
Of course now I am paying for all of these adventures with epic library time, but the lazy weekend was worth it!
