Two Kinds of Brazilian Steak

myeverydayeats
We went to one of our favorite restaurants to pick up lunch. Since it’s located on the hill, it was a good exercise for us too.

Lunch: Maminha ao alho (left), Picanha (right) with rice, fries, feijão (Brazilian beans), salad + red wine @ 1:40 p.m. He likes maminha and I like picanha better.

This is wine sold for 2.50€ at a local store. Not bad 🙂

“Asian” Salmon Lunch

myeverydayeats

I went to buy a grocery today. The supermarket and streets look normal. Although Portugal has a bad situation since last March, people look calm and disciplined as usual.

Lunch: Grilled salmon, rice, watercress, vinho verde @ 12:45 p.m.

I added sesame oil to watercress and sesame over salmon & rice. Also, I put a little bit soy sauce on salmon. With all that, it tasted like Asian food 🙂

Dessert: Baba de Camelo (Portuguese caramel mousse but more liquidity) from Pirata

Carbs & Sugar Day

myeverydayeats

I love carbs & sugar so much. Today is a-once-in-a-while day I get as much carbs & sugar as I want.

Breakfast: French toast with Nutella, apple, coffee @ 6:15 a.m.

I went out for a grocery shopping and bought Pasteis de Nata, the most famous Portuguese pastry at Pastelaria.

Pastel de Nata & coffee @ 11:15 a.m. Now we are very picky about Nata and this is not the one from our favorite store, but it was pretty good 🙂

Lunch: Spaghetti., rice & pork rib curry @ 1:00 p.m.

I made easy “ramen” with Chinese noodle, udon dashi and sesame oil. It was not bad at all. It would be more enjoyable with egg, I think.

Bacalhau à Brás & Encruzado

myeverydayeats
Bacalhau, salted dried cod is one of the most important ingredients to Portuguese cuisine. I have made a few of popular Bacalhau dishes including Bacalhau com Natas and Pasteis de Bacalhau. Today I tried to make another famous one, Bacalhau à Brás.

Lunch @ 12:45 p.m. Basically it’s to stir fry onion, garlic, desalted & cooked bacalhau, stripped potatoes and egg all together. It came out very good. Since it’s so easy that I would cook again soon.

I forgot to add olives at last. Shoot!

We had cold soba as well.

Lunch: Angus Beef Steak, salad, wine @ 1:00 p.m.

I should have taken a picture of inside the steak…This is what I repeatedly order online for delivery. It’s frozen, so easy to store in freezer and thaw a night before whenever we feel like steak. It’s very convenient and always delicious!

Followed by instant chicken noodle (Continente Brand)
