With the festival of Passover hot on our heals (Monday Night), and the fact that our kitchen is still not kosher for passover, we needed a small but still enjoyable meal, as we wanted ZERO leftovers. So, to the freezer we went, as out quest to empty is almost complete. There we found a Kielbasa [...]
