Hot Chocolate…You Sexy Thing

by Peter G February 29, 2008 Recipes

Decadent…triple hot chocolate with cream When Elly decided to hold a blogging event associated with music I knew she was on a winner. Music along with food are life’s essentials. I often have something playing in the background as I cook and photograph my creations. I was stumped initially about what I was going to do. I finally decided to go back to the 70′s with a funky, get down, [...]
