Last week I wrote about my little tour to the supermarket, caused by my hunger for something special. It resulted in a delicious meal, which our guests also enjoyed very much.

I was craving something. Something salty, tasty, a nice snack. Nothing to be found anywhere. At least not something I was craving for. Unfortunately.
