Leftover Chicken & Delicious Red Wine

January 21, 2021January 23, 2021 myeverydayeats

Lunch: Leftover from yesterday @ 12:20 p.m.

This red wine, Jardim de Granito from Dão region, Portugal is very delicious. Portuguese red is generally a blend of multiple kinds of grapes and very smooth, but this one is even smoother with fruity aroma and elegant finish. The price is unbelievable (8€). Love it!!!

Cooking Fresh Clams for the First Time

January 16, 2021January 18, 2021 myeverydayeats

Breakfast: Vegetable soup, bolo de chocolate, rolo de canela, coffee @ 8:30 a.m.

Purchasing fresh clams & bread @ Mercado de Arroios

I was not sure if I was doing right to prepare fresh clams even though I followed an instruction online. By the way this clam is called “Amêijoas Japonesa” and much more expensive (14€/kg) than I expected.

I took a look at several recipes online and simply cooked them with white wine & garlic.

I looks good but not really. It was too salty. I probably put too much salt in the water to let them breath sands out.

I added rice and egg into the clam soup to make “risotto.”

A good Alvarinho, Vinho Verde recommended by his Portuguese teacher

Menchi-Katsu & Korokke for his Birthday

January 15, 2021January 18, 2021 myeverydayeats

We had been talking to go dine at Hard Rock Cafe, Lisbon for his birthday for last two months. Obviously he misses American food and culture, I guess. However, the Portuguese government has decided “lockdown” similar to one in March-April 2020. That means we can’t dine out at any restaurants…I feel so bad for him 😦

Lunch: Menchi-Katsu & Korokke with salad, rice, rose wine @ 1:00 p.m.

Trying to make him happy with something he like

Breakfast: French croissant with chocolate filling, orange, coffee @ 7:50 a.m.

Chirashi Take Away Lunch

January 14, 2021 myeverydayeats

In Portugal, the situation of covid-19 has been bad…unfortunately. More new cases than the beginning of pandemic when Portugal controlled it very well. I think that 2 or 3 waves possibly got bigger because we have less infected people from 1st wave. Anyway, the government decided to implement more restrictions starting tomorrow, so I went to get a to-go Chirashi (sushi) for lunch. It seemed that nothing has changed in city just calm and lovely as usual.
