Hey John,
thanks for the visit. As far as the stats go, I know that Valentines Day and Mothers Day are huge here in North America for restaurants. I’m sure it’s the same in Australia … I think. Mind you, looking at your picture of Rosslyn Bay Inn and Beaches restaurant I don’t think you need a special day to pack the house. What a beautiful setting. Looking forward to checking out your blog.
I wish you the best of luck!
The scone looks so tempting *drooling*
I think in the scheme of things, triple chocolate actually means triple pleasure. Wow!
My dear friend Lani made these for me and oh my gosh they were amazing! The chocolate was just the right amount and it was so light on the inside and moist. A definite winner! Thanks Lani and thanks Chuck for inspiring her!
Hey Tanis,
