rise of the geeks! my super nerdface Saturday.

Warning: don’t let the corn fritters fool you. This blog post is not about food. Instead, you get a healthy portion of geekdom. Enjoy!

This time last week, I was reeling from the after effects of having consumed one too many chocolate desserts at Green & Black’s launch of their new cookbook, ‘Ultimate’.

This time this week, I’m sharing the LOVE! It’s FRIDAY! and out of the kindness of my own heart, I’m giving away some G&B goodies and a copy of their new scrumptious cookbook – a book that will no doubt whip you into the chocolate mistress (or master) of your kitchen.
