Crunchy salad with yogurt-tahine sauce

(Em Português)

Since Flávia left me a comment yesterday asking where have I been, I thought I'd better show up.

It will take years and years for me to become a constant person as I would like to be, but then - well... we need to start somewhere, right?

I am now back to São Paulo, honey, dealing with bureaucracy while the rain pours outside.

I have great reasons to have disappeared on the last week. Pretty ones really, which include seeing very dear people who I hadn't seen in ages and to celebrate a beautiful beginning (all of my love to the newly-weds!). 

Now that I am back home, I started eating more nicely again. So, here I come with another salad.

Julienne pickles.

(Em português)

This recipe come straight from Germany - to be more specific, from Delicious Days.

Last weekend we were going to have a picnic, and this pickled vegetables seem to go really nice in a sandwich.

The picnic didn't actually happen, but the sandwiches did (eve though I took a picture of the pickles served with another salad and some cheese). They were great.

Oh - the forgetfulness.

(In Portuguese)


I'll tell you a very sad story.
I forgot my photographic camera's cable at my mom's house. 
The end.


That's why we'll have some more posts illustrated by the computer's camera.
But she'll come to visit soon, and bring the cable along.
Now, another subject, the sandwich I had for lunch today:


Tuna and grated vegetables.

Carrot bread, and the week after the holidays.

(In Portuguese)


Well, we all know what happens in a week with the family during holidays.

We have fun, forget about our lives, and enjoy good food.

So I stole from my uncle and aunt a nice idea, which is to spend the following week "detoxifying" the body with more fresh vegetables and less carbs.

Back to São Paulo, I went to the supermarket to get several vegetables and fruits, had soup for lunch. And at night I decided to make a carrot bread.

Warm tuna and black beans salad.

When someone gets home from work real tired, she thinks

"ooh I'm going to eat any junk and fall straight in bed", unless

there is something decent that has been pre-cooked.

Steadier footing.

(In Portuguese)


March 1st was  for me a day to celebrate new and old things, both very important.

I worked hard, had a delicious dinner at an Italian restaurant, and today is a day to tidy up the house.

So here goes a simple lunch, which stays in the oven while I organize things around my place.

Bolinha beans.

(In Portuguese)

People say it's good for you.

Leisure might some times be the mother of great recipes.
Yesterday, for example, I decided to cube some vegetables, coat them
in olive oil and salt, and bake until they're outsides were crispy and they're insides were soft.
Besides that, I cooked a quick rice and the matter was settled.
Anyway, people say that eating colorful meals is healthy. Even better.
