Gitana tells us about ‘the inbred’

The day my children made dinner
The first ever time our children made us dinner. What a proud moment in any parents’ life. A moment you wait for for what seams like an eternity, and then the day comes. You do some shopping, get a few ingredients and leave them to it. I was quite surprised by the flavour combinations they…
