: : : Aaahhhhh, never judge a book by its cover, nor a dish by it´s name ! 🙂 If you do, you might have just past by this wonderful little dish, never to know what culinary gem is lurking behind its unassuming name. Which cook in the World would sink so low and be […]
: : BUT FIRST, THIS : . : : One of the reasons I moved from Florida back to Germany (besides the Hurricanes) was the fact that I loathe Floridas heat and humidity ( Lets not even mention the traffic). On the other hand, here in Germany, while we are at the hight of summer, […]

Within less than 10 minutes, this gorgeous dish was ready on the table. Bella and I were happy and content, and cleanup was […]
