Alors là, je vous le dis d’avance : cet article n’a absolument rien, mais alors rien à voir avec la cuisine ! Mais je ne peux décemment pas être à Londres, le 27 Juillet 2012, qui plus est en plein centre, et ne pas vous parler des Jeux Olympiques !
The cucumber/avocado mix is always a winner. That’s why today I am experimenting with this mini smoothie with avocados and cucumber.
