Assalamu Alaikum WRWB, Sister
I wish the music is not there or reduce the volume.
Nice, now I know how to make this kind of kabob!
Danie wygląda smakowicie, sałatka kolorami przyciąga wzrok, kaszę bulgur bardzo lubię.
Mam pytanie,czy zamiast wołowiny i jagnięciny mogę zrobić kebaba z mięsa indyczego, czy papryczki są ostre, czy łagodne. Będę wdzięczna za odpowiedź.🌹🌹🌹
