(I, too, love sweet and salty ;) )
Tonight, DH cooked a steak on the stove and we had it with a big salad (cabbage, pea shoots, pear, toasted soybeans and quinoa, a handful of crumbled cheese, shredded carrots, julienned basil, shallots with a sweet onion vinaigrette) and boiled fingerling potatoes.
Too much!! However, I am sure I have just enough room left for one more tiny little Easter Egg! :bunny:
Curry lentils, almond milk
Yesterday, I had chicken wings. And mämmi with tons and tons of heavy cream. But not together with the chicken. :D
Today, I'll be having a big chunk of pork.
I looked mämmi up, and I am very much liking the sound of this, Ylva, especially with loads of cream! You always have delicious food. :oQuote:

Traditionally, potatoes are cooked similarly to this way where I live. You start a nice big fire, and once it dies down, you bury potatoes wrapped in tin foil in the remnants of the fire, and wait...Quote:

Also, why is that ONE smiley you're looking for ALWAYS hiding somewhere in the list?! I swear, always!! I couldn't find that hungry dude for the life of me, but good thing I remembered the actual code!
