Up quality and a few pawns.. the only real problem the possible mate in the corner. e6+?? hurts though. Taking the h-pawn looks promising, but loses a tempo after Bg6 so while good it's boring. Thus.. I'd be tempted ot chase the black light bishop with f3 followed by g4, activating the white rooks and opening the king side for a decisive pawn assault.

Two question marks as in really? and how? .. oh well, on a losing streak atm. But still. e6 opens the diagonal which seems rather daunting, given the vulnerable position of the white king in the corner. Of course you don't have to take the black queen, but if you don't, why do e6...
