הי חנית - ראיתי את זה בעתון גם כן אבל עוד לא היתה לי את ההזדמנות להכין אותם. רואה שלא צריך עכשיו כי את כבר עשית אותם בשבילי
:))
איזה מין גבינה השתמשת? רוצה לעשות אותם השבוע אני חושב

זה מתכון מוצלח, ששמרתי כמה חתיכות בפריזר, אבל גם זה נגמר
שמתי גבינת כנען, שזו גבינה רזה ויבשה, ללא נוזלים,יותר קשה מריקוטה,אני מקוה שיש לך משהו כזה או דומה, באיזה עיתון ראית.. זה מעניין כי אני לא ראיתי..
:-)
תודה
