A POT OF DECADENCE ~ LUST!

A POT OF DECADENCE ~ LUST!
OK OK, a little late for that famously Chocolated out day for lovers, but this is just a rework of an oldie on here, and it was for the Steam Oven a long time ago and in another galaxy!

CHRISTMAS IS COMING…ALONG WITH THE HEAT!

CHRISTMAS IS COMING…ALONG WITH THE HEAT!
Christmas Ice Cream Torte I know that sounds crazy to my northern readers, but as the temperature starts to head into the 30′s (Celcius that is), our thoughts down under turn to Christmas, and ways to keep the feasting cool and casual, around the pool or water somewhere, somehow…what better...
