Oh wait, considering the number of sandwiches I gobbled up...it probably shouldn't have been considered a light dinner after all. ^_^'

ReplyDeleteIt has the essence of lightness...which is all that matters.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo.....I can have lots of those sandwiches too! I can't count! Just lots of them ;p ..if the bread is lightly toasted, it will hold up the sardines better.
