Summer Day Lunch

March 25th, 2015

This summer day lunch is perfect because one does not need to stay too long in the kitchen to prepare.

Summer Day lunch

1. Pan fried pork steak marinated in a little light soy sauce and sprinkled with black pepper and paprika.
2. Fried egg in little oil.

4. Pineapple/banana smoothie
