Veggie Stuffed Mushroom Nuggets

However, with all the perfect thoughts on the very first day, your mind tells to not to disappoint yourself . So, despite the freezing warning, we somehow managed to wake up early, go for a short temple visit. We had a very simple lunch, as we didn’t want any more indulgence.
