Mushroom Satay

Pasta with Shrimps
Today I am at home. We have a big strike because of the measures that government has taken, so as to recover from the economic crisis we are facing. So, there are no buses, trains, no public sector, etc. Also the lady who is watching my child every day cannot come here. My mother, who...
