Nice cool spring day requires a quick little pick me up with some spice to it. There were two things that you couldn't find in Turkey, Mexican and Thai. BOTH were craved immediately. So I picked up some fun things in the market the other day to make. This was a quick dinner, 30 min total time. Well spent while Spencer did the dishes and we talked about the day. Looking forward to warmer weather and more cooking this weekend.
