Beer & Wine, Cheese, Grocery/Bakery

Grocery Shopping @ Mercado & Mercearia

I went to Mercado 31 de Janeiro, a traditional market in Lisbon.

Today I didn’t go to a supermarket but shopped all grocery @ mercado and mercearia (little grocery store).

Lunch: Queijo fresco (fresh cheese), olive, bread, strawberries, leitão (roasted pork), wine @ 12:10 p.m., This Dão white wine has a clean taste. Everything else tasted so good.

I was taught at a fish market that Portugueses either boiled or grill cod eggs, so I grilled. It tasted good without any seasoning but better with a little bit salt or soy sauce.

Easy Apple Pie & O-Bento

A friend shared an easy recipe of “Apple Pie” using a packaged pastry sheet. 1. Lay sugar evenly under sheet, 2. Cut apple and lay on the sheet, 3. put tiny pieces of butter on apple evenly, 4. bake in 200C oven for 15 minutes, 5. Sprinkle sugar on apple and bake another 15 minutes

Lunch: O-Bento of chicken karaage, “shishito” pepper, rice @ 12:20 p.m., Since I was not sure how long people work in our bathroom and I am not comfortable to cook while someone in the house, I prepared lunch last night.

Spending a day in a hotel…

Since a contractor/plumbers work in our bathroom all day, the landlord reserves a hotel room for us. He chose to stay home and I took the offer. It was perfect to get relaxed alone.

Spent the afternoon in the hotel. Yay, it has a tub!

I went back home and enjoyed beer & chips. It was such a guilty pleasure @ 6:10 p.m.

Carne de Porco À Alentejana

Bacalhau à Brás salada & Cerveja Preta @ 12:50 p.m. I tried a new recipe of Portuguese dish today. While cooking, we started enjoying appetizer and beer.

Lunch: Carne de Porco À Alentejana & rice @ 1:20 p.m.

It’s unique because I’ve never seen a dish combined pork with clams. Again it has a lot of umami.

We finally finished creme de leite.
