Anything in the fridge?
Posted in Food on September 26, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Things have been pretty hectic at home – have hardly had time to take care of anything and the refrigerator has been pretty much like Mother Hubbard’s cupboard. So last night – was sitting down to watch the Ghost Whisperer and hungry as a horse. There was some Thai curry paste lying in the fridge [...]
