Onion soup.

(In Portuguese)


Lately I was making an effort to post at least once a week, but in the last few days it
simply wasn't possible. Thankfully, for good reasons.
And even without recent posts, without many frequent readers, I was very glad to know
- through blogger's statistics - that some readers showed up from places I hadn't imagine,
from faraway countries such as Turkey or Estonia.
Be welcome, everybody! Tell me about you. Leave comments about the ways you eat and cook, or about something else.
Everyone, Brazilians, Americans, Spanish too! Tell me what you think of what is in for today. :)

I adapted this recipe from Jamie Oliver, and it fits perfectly for a cold night.

I don't really think it is very much like his recipe, but it tasted good and cozy.

Unlike the famous chef, I put potatoes in the soup and left the bread out.

Soooft pizza, Chicago style.

(In Portuguese)

Think of an extremely soft, fluffy pizza.

Filled with a lot of grated cheese and sauce. With browned edges.

I took from Annie the recipe that leads to it.

Suddenly, pralinés*.

(In Portuguese)

Sometimes I have a sudden craving for something sweet.

And I can't think of anything else, until I eat the darn sweet. Even if it's a lame toffee candy.

It was already 10pm, and I looked around to find out what ingredients I had with the potential to

transform themselves into an express dessert.

The peanut jar didn't leave no doubts: pralinés*.

*Well, actually these are not pralinés. They are a traditional Brazilian sweet named "pé de moleque".

But I find them pretty similar to pralinés, and I'm calling them that so that non-Brazilian people can get the picture. :)
