But .it looks that this doesn’t affect my beloved husband. He is always hungry, specially now, once he started to go to the gym. So I start to think weariness,” What can I do for dinner tonight? “I thought in something quick n’ easy to do, effortlessly, and healthy, but what? It seems like a lot, isn’t it?

That sounds really good! It's already starting to get hot here. I'm having to trade in our "cold" food for hot!

Consider me inspired Sylvia! That looks so delicious! (I'm not one for hot weather, but cold weather freezes me to the bone. Can't it be 18C all the time?)
