"nope you tell me " ....we kept asking each other but we knew that 20 minutes more into this discussion we will end up eating Maggi(our saviour) ....So we went grocery shopping and found salmon on sale .. ..I LOVE Salmon and by brain decided on its own..... that is what we are gonna have for dinner .....45 minutes later we enjoyed Salmon with Mango Salsa  and herb rice with a glass of wine ...
