Pão Com Chouriço

Just in time for lunch time, today, I wanted to celebrate a great eat whenever you are in Portugal in August (mostly).  It is the Pão Com Chouriço that you can buy a many Festas Populares.

It is super yummy, and just a good reason to sit and have a drink with friends.  Plus, it makes it that much easier to watch people go by.  This is a national past time, after all.

Here is an example of the type of vendors you'll find.  They go through and show you how they prepare it and everything.  Makes me miss it that much more!

I also found another site that actually has a great recipe to make it at home with.   Oh my goodness, her photos are great, made me that much hungrier for pão com chouriço!

Photo from Flicker.  Great shot!

Here are some of my favorite photos of late: I don't know why I like this photo so much, but I think it's because I can almost hear the groans and screams from the fans just by looking at their raised arms. Coldplay playing in Lisbon - I wish I was there. Nuno and Luis presenting an award at the MTV Europe Music Awards. The tallest Christmas tree in Europe was unveiled in Lisbon. It looks great.

cheer on miss world

Yes, it's that time of year when the new Miss World will be crowned by you! (Not to be confused with Miss Universe of course) Here is the candidate for Portugal: Her name is Angela Maria Fonseca Spinola, and she grew up in Cape Verde but is now living is Setebal. (Hmmm...I wonder if they mean Setubal). Sounds like a great gal. Here is another contestant, also with Portuguese (via Cape Verde) roots for Belgium! Hmmm...if I go by the photos, this one has a much better chance! Wait, at least there's Brazil ! She looks like she's got the best chance at this one. Well, I was going to vote online (you get 2 votes), but guess what, you have to pay 1 US$ to do that. Do I care that much about who wins? Not really, so, let others pay for you!
