The Recipe

I didn't have potatoes,

so I substituted with rice,

I didn't have paprika,

so I used another spice,

I didn't have tomatoe sauce,

so I used tomatoe paste,

A whole can, not just half,

I don't believe in waste,

A friend gave me this recipe,

she said you couldn't beat it,

I don't know what's wrong with her

I couldn't even eat it! :)

~May God Bless Eat Bite~
