Never understood why all the complications, it just .. shit ,… It all ends up in the septic system
My mother used to tell me that it doesn't matter how expensive the basic ingredients, how skilled yo are preparing the dishes and how much you enjoy it or the very high cost of the final meal, it all ends the same way in the morning. Down the bog!!!!
