That Fruity Loin…

Assalamualaikum and Salam Sejahtera to all… I suppose to post this recipe a week ago I think but having some trouble posting it and now here it is… This time I am doing something fruity with meat.

Belgium and Beer

It’s no secret that I am a breakfast/brunch aficionado. If ever asked the question “Would you rather have a plate of corned beef hash, or a meal at a four-star restaurant?”, I would respond “It depends.
