I promise it will be the last one! Let's eat in Brazil?- 3 Sweets

Sweets! 
  Hmmm, it's hard to find a brazilian who doesn't like our sweets, and in this post you'll see why.
        Brigadeiro- Condensed milk with chocolate and butter mixed in a pan and "rolled"(?) in granulated chocolate.
        Beijinho (little kiss): Condensed milk and butter with coconut mixed in a pan and "rolled" in coconut.
        Olho de Sogra: Is the same beijinho with a prune.
        Pé de moleque: Toasted peanut with sugar.
        Paçoca: Peanut smashed with sugar.
        Cocada: Coconut toasted or not baked with sugar.
        Sweet rice: Rice with sugar, condensed milk and cinnamon.
        Sagu: A typical brazilian seed boiled with weak wine and sugar.
        Pudim: Condensed milk wit eggs and sugar baked and ate like a cake.
        Cake: Yes, our cake is different.
        Quindim: Like a little pudim with coconut and more yolk
        Queijadinha: A little sweet cheese cake (no, not a cheesecake)
        Tapioca: A thin biju of tapioca filled with everything, generally with coconut and condensed milk.
        Cural: Corn threshed cooked with sugar.
        Pamonha: Cural in a corn stover and baked.
        Goiabada: Guava with sugar
        A looooot of thing I'll post some day.....

            Ps: Why toshe names? Because in the colonial era in Brazil, the madams used to make sweets to give as a gift for their friends representing things, like little kisses(beijinho).

Let's eat in Brazil-2

    Lunch--- Served  between 12:00 to 14:00 (if you are me, 16:00)
  I don't know how is lunch in the other countries in the world but I think you will find difference eatting here and eatting at Russia right after...
     Menu: It's the base, every plate must have these couple, it's like the foundation: Rice and Beans!
               The mix. When you already have rice and beans, you put what we call here "mix", it can be french fries with beef and salad, or potato salad with pancakes (I'll show how is our pancake) chicken, maionese, pasta, bananas, lasagna, feijoada (Hmmmm), cabbage, strogonoff, parmegiana and everything you imagine!!!
               Bevarages: Coke, Kuat, Guaraná, juice or beer for adults.
              
  Other ways: Sunday Lunch, that one you eat with your family in the grandma's house
     Menu: Macarrão com maionese ( pasta with maionese) and fried chicken
                     Almoço mineiro: Feijoada? Forget! The real brazilian lunch is the lunch from Minas Gerais, is the most delicious one and was the base for all the others in this country
                     Menu: Rice with Brazil (funny) Beans, all the parts of the pig fried (kidding) fried bananas, fried eggs, fried everything and all the rest you will see.
                    
                             Detail: I heard from my English teacher that in the U.S there isn´t so many pressure cookers, the thing is that here we use that for everything! is the most commom pan here!

 Our pancake filled with meat or chicken and tomato sauce
Ordinary lunch
 Simple Lunch
 Minas Lunch!!!!
 Healthy Lunch
 Restaurant Lunch
 Lasagna
 Strogonoff
 Minas Again!
 Complete feijoada!
 Again
I don't know what is that but I found....

Parmegiana! 

Let's eat in Brazil!

   Hello people, I think it's time to talk about daily food we eat here. Well, we have lots of variety of  food, our breakfast is completely different of all the world. Our lunch is much different too, and when the subject is party, oh, you will not find similarities...
   All right, now the best part:
          Breakfast----served between 6:00 (for who works/studies early) to 10:00
          Menu: Coffe with Milk (1/2 milk 1/2 coffe)
                     French Bread with margarine (It's not french, but is a baguette that EVERY brazilian eat at morning-it's margarine not butter!!!)
                    Orange/passion fruit/peach/cashew juice
                    Cake(opitional)
                    Minas Cheese (A kind of cheese from a state called Minas Gerais)
                    Cheese-Ham to put in the bread
                    Fruits- Papaya, bananas, mangos, melon ( the melon here is different)
                    Pão de Queijo - Cheese bread ( just delicious)
                   
  A brazilian coffe table ( try to find what I said before)
 Another one
 A hotel coffe table
 Coffe and Milk
 Our French bread!
 Bônus: Bread with margarine

Indy300 Track!

Yesterday happened the Indy300 track in São Paulo, and I went there. Here are some photos of it for you . 2 jet fighters flew over us in the limit of the security at 1000Km/h and cars at 300Km/h! Very beatiful!
  Obs: It happened in the Sambódromo, the same place of São Paulo's Carnaval.
