Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate everywhere…
A pre-Valentine’s Day adventure found us at Canebrake in a marathon chocolate cooking class.
El Rio Verde: Authentic Mexican Fare
It is really too bad that Guy Fieri established “Drive Ins, Diners, and Dives” or I would have entitled this theme’s posts in that way. Too bad…I will have to stick with EE’s Revs and Recs (for “reviews” and “recomendations”). I had been wanting to visit El Rio Verde for a long time, ever since…
