Ointressant dag med intressant fakta

Jobbat, skjutsat, monterat nytt handtag på en stalldörr, blah, blah, blah... Samma gamla vanliga.

MEN, sedan kommer det intressanta. Vi åt vårat favoritkött till middag och det var fantastiskt! Vi åt marinerat strutskött med bakad potatis och en tomatsallad. MUMS! Om det finns någon som inte redan har ätit struts så kan det varmt rekomenderas. Det liknar oxfilé både till smak, utseende och tillredningssätt. Gillar du en blodig biff?
