Recipe of the Week

I realise that by calling this 'Recipe of the Week', you may presume it would suggest that there will be a recipe each week. But I can't promise that. And I won't promise that. It just sounded like something you would say if you are planning on relatively frequently sharing a new recipe.
Yea.
Good story Jo.
I would also just like to add that I am not an awesome blogger who takes photos of each cooking process...it's just one snapshot of the final plate.

Ok...so this recipe is called Crispy Chicken with Mole Sauce. It's cool cause it's chicken and chocolate. That's right my friends...chocolate for dinner.
