We as a people, grill all the time...
we grill steaks, we grill chicken, we grill seafood, we grill veggies...
Hell... we even grill pizza... we'll grill anything that we think will work...
And we either hit or miss or make a mess.
Have you ever thought about grilling... your dessert?
No?
Why not?
It can be done you know, and it will turn out very well,
and people will shower you with praise and hugs and kisses.
(now of course, if you don't like that kind of stuff...then don't read any farther)
But for me... I'll take all the H & K's I can get...I ain't shy... (GG)
Anyway...back to the topic...grilled dessert, if you have never tried it, and would like to...
then try this one, and see if you get a few H & K's.
Enjoy!!!
