Yes I'm abit weary of trying new food in case it doesn't taste nice to me. But you are making me curious about it. I'm sure buttered almonds did it for me with your dish :)Grace-Life can be simplenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696248883608841507.post-68423710142771995722015-02-15T20:14:05.760-10:002015-02-15T20:14:05.760-10:00Ah I see.
