Dinner

A rack of ribs, all set to go into the oven to slow cook with its dry rub of spices, cumin, coriander, sweet paprika, hot cayenne, and... Cocoa powder. Yep the cocoa is the secret - or not so secret now - ingredient!
I know what you're thinking, is she going to eat all that to herself, since her husband's away in the UK signing books night and day? But no, my friend Susie, she of the penthouse upstairs, arrives from the USA today, so the ribs are for the two of us to gnaw at with maybe a wee glass of wine...
