Nothing Special

Blipping is funny - you carefully take good photos of something, but you run out of time to blip, and then life happens, and you just have to blip a worse photo, but which represents a special moment of your day...

And so you get our meal tonight downstairs at the padre's. He made beef stroganoff and duck rice (a sort of risotto); and clams and huge prawns and baked cheese for starters, accompanied by vinho verde, and I made a salad; and then a blueberry cheesecake I made from a Guardian recipe (crushed cornflakes and golden syrup for the base - recommended!), plus a creme caramel that Dona Nazaré made. The red wines for the main course were almost 20 years old and superb.

Good music and some hilarious dancing, even some forró for us "Brazilians".

It wasn't to celebrate anything, he said, just a get together with friends.
