Dinner , at times can be simple enough. Came home late , have to think of something simple and easy. Something not time consuming. Everyone's tummy is growling so have to quickly prepare something real SIMPLE.
Stir-Fry Pumpkin Slices with Prawns and ‘ Soup of the Day’ was packet meatballs cooked in mint leaves soup . Mint leaves are from the garden. And I fried some eggs. Simple enough? When I follows a drama series on the idiot box…dinner can be just ‘ take-away chicken rice ’ from the outside coffee shop :) Good thing for them, that I am not following any series at the moment. :)
