ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipes, Janet! Our menu is already set for this weekend, but there's a whole summer ahead to try them out... I'm not sure I can grasp the concept of cocoa-rubbed salmon - all the more reason to give it a go!
Ha! What a great mystery book list idea--a BBQ version. :D I've never heard of chocolate on the grill! Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteUh, oh. Now I'm hungry...
