    It looks really delicious and I really want to try it out as I am a professional web developer, who is working at a UK custom patches making company and I mostly have to eat outside due to my busy schedule and this dish is really easy to make, I will definitely try it out!

  • This was a nice summer

    This was a nice summer dinner. I actually got 3 serves from the quantities. Due to personal taste preferences, I will leave the asparagus out next time.
