I stopped at this place called Natural Greens and got some fresh kiwi juice on the way. It was...

permanent markers and white boards don´t end well (martes, 27 junio)

You mean you didn't know?

I just wanted to add an interesting observation. Carpaccio: Thinly slice poultry usually eaten with olive oil, lime, salt, and other condiments. It is usually an appetizer and a good source of protein. I always thought that is was a globally eaten food. But my fellow fellows have asked me...
