  1. I really enjoyed this! Not only is it small enough for the two of us, but the flavor is wonderful. I think I might try adding 1/4 tsp of ginger next time just for fun. I also plan to try freezing the tiny layers to see how that works. Thanks so much for sharing.

I love trying new dishes. For me, food is a way of experiencing the world without leaving my home, and I'm hoping that as my two sons get older that I can convince them to come with me on my culinary adventures.
