Fats, Vitamins and Minerals

Last week, my mom came home with a take-away from the French Baker, fettuccini carbonara (with carrots, yellow corn kernels, onion and potato slices). Actually, okay naman sya, since my mom and aunt have taken it home a few times already, and they seem to like it. Pero for me, it’s bland and medyo dry. […]
