Yes, this is the 1000th post in this blog! 6 years of blog! WOW! I will let you know if there is a give away for comments or not coming soon. I rarely get comments, so .....
Today we had our Brasilian Dinner. Mark had no idea what Brasilian food was like, except for Churrasco, Brasilian barbeque. Since it is spring, and the weather is changeable, I decided against that option. We had Coxinho, Feijoada, Arroz com Feijoa, Pao de Quejo, oranges, vinegrette and farofa. There is a brasilian market near my house, Kitanda, and they had the few specialty items I needed.
Our table, we had it set up as a buffet in the dining room. Our table was moved to the living room. I moved the Feijao and the Feijoada to crockpots to keep them warm. Michelle was so wonderful and brought her big rice cooker. That made it so much easier. The farofa was in two sections, vegetarian and with bacon!
Coffee and dessert station. I just had Brasilian candy and the Brigederos. Those did not last long.
The kids did not eat much, some orange slices and candy. They are busy working on their play.
Kayla, Brian and Ben playing vintage Mousetrap.
The plays, yes there were several, endings. They had a great time putting them on. Some of them sounded very beatnik. Interpretive movements, and sound poems. Not that they had any clue, they just thought it was very cool.
Crayola window markers are used by the older kids and the younger kids. Fun for everyone.
It was a very fun afternoon, not many leftovers.
