Carbonara wee!

Monday, November 27, 2023 | 40 Views |

It was the end of a pretty tough week. To make it feel better, I knew I wanted to prepare a lovely meal. Something that’s not so usual for us, something delicious that I knew the whole family would enjoy, even the picky eaters like the second born (Shalom).
