Pick-up Dinner

Elaine, Larry, Lenny, and I decided that after having lunched at Red Hawk, we should eat dinner in. So we had a pick-up meal: some frozen pot stickers (a recent discovery for keeping on hand -- they come from an Oriental grocery store, today's brand was Wei Chuan), and also a stir-fry of tiny Farmers Market green beans, pork chops (also from the freezer), and a sliced tomato.

Dessert: Elaine offered to make warm chocolate sauce based on her friend Charlotte's recipe. It was delicious -- we had it over Edy's Vanilla Ice Cream (freezer! yay!).

Charlotte's Chocolate Sauce -- with modifications
1/4 bar of Trader Joe's 72% semi-sweet chocolate (around 4 oz)
4 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp Amaretto
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp butter

Melt the chocolate, water, and Amaretto over hot water in double boiler. Add sugar. Stir til dissolved, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring. Off heat add butter and stir until blended. We ate it warm over the ice cream. Mmmmmm.
