VILA REAL

On Sunday we spent the day in Vila Real with Toze, his feeyonce Joana and his sister Isabela. It was a nice day full of happenings... In the shopping centre I met Trindado from Sao Tome e Principe and he explained me how to prepare manioca and how to cook the bananas. He was very nice man and explained me everything in details.
Check the photos...

Jantar at Marisa's parents house 1.12.07

Yesterday evening I was invited to dinner with Toze (my brother - we call each other that way, because we are like a family). to Marisa's parents at the village 20km out of Bragança. The dinner was perfect: we ate soup of vegetables, pork liver baked in the fireplace, quejio caseiro (cheese homemade) some specila saussage made of pork meat and bread and we drank some caseiro wine. There was David - Marisa's father, mother of Marisa, and two grandmother of Marisa - is 91 years old and she still works in the field and is still pretty healthy. After the dinner I watched how they prepare special kind of saussage - sweet one. Yes, that's right - sweet. They boil bread in the water, after they put pork meat, honey, nuts, canela and pork blood into it and mix alltogether. I took some photos, take a look. They invited me to spend Christmass eve with them... I will keep that in my mind... It was very nice evening for me to spend some time and take some insight of Portuguese people who live in a village. For the first time a saw a table were they put fire in the big plate below it and you can put your feet to warm them up. It is on the photo. Ate amanhã.
