I love Bonduelle corn, although it contains 340 or 440 grams, but it is so tasty and sweet that you can and a little more, it doesn’t matter: a neighbor at the dacha grows Bonduelle and the taste of a freshly-made cob is simply excellent;

A neighbor at the table wrote down our family recipe for fast lean salad, and I remembered one acquaintance: a young, brave, athletic military man shared this realization: “I’ve been trying to wake up and get up early in the morning and, if possible, at least half an hour to read prayers. Of course, what I know by heart - only two short ones, but, anyway, I feel inspired and a surge of strength after reading. I also noticed that if you didn’t pray one morning, the day is not so favorable. And I began to do this after I saw on TV that our Afghan soldier was held captive for a year, in an earthen pit, practically without food or drink: he survived only because he literally read two short prayers every minute of his wakefulness. It inspired me. ” So, during conversations, we gladly ate this simple lean tasty salad. And they gratefully remembered the site “I Love Cooking”.
