my lunch

i found out that if you bathed eggs with the right amount of milk it would taste like absolute heaven. i just had one right now and it was so good!

try cooking!

it's a hot summer day and you're hungry but when you open your ref. you see the same old food in it! want to try new stuff, experiment your ingredients, make desserts?

you can do all that just visit this site!
