Posted at 13:17h, 12 JanuaryCiao! Grazie per essere passata dalle mie pagine… in realtà se odio le seppie ripiene è solo perchè una volta, ero piccola, ho avuto la febbre a 40° (l’unica volta) e a pranzo mangiai seppie ripiene per poter avere lo “stomaco pieno” per prendere i medicinali… bè l’effetto non è stato granchè entusiasmante :-) per cui ora il solo odore delle seppie ripiene mi fa morire. Però adoro il pesce, ecco.
Baci
