Relaxing At Home Alone

December 7, 2019 myeverydayeats

I slept in till 9am this morning and got up when he left for a conference.

As usual I made tea for myself and did laundries.

First time to hang out laundries outside the window

Around 3pm I open a half bottle since he didn’t reply to my message and I was hungry.

In the afternoon, we went to the agency to pick up my insurance card and other documents.

Taking easy afterwards. Had a little bit of chicken rice for dinner.

We went for a free trial yoga 7:00-8:30.

It was so tough after 3 year not practicing yoga regularly.

Lunch @ Calçada 28

December 5, 2019December 6, 2019 myeverydayeats

Dessert: Mousse de chocolate e Tarte de amendoa, this Almond tarte goes well with red wine since it’s not sweet but nutty and earthy.

Of course we had a cup of coffee as well. Today, we talked a bit more with the gentleman who is always nice to us. He doesn’t speak English at all but he informed us about the holiday schedule and drawing for 2€ possibly to win a huge bacalhau or gift package. Hoping we will not win a bachalhau (salted cod fish because I don’t know what to do with it).

Second Breakfast, Lunch is the same but with a chicken thigh.

Bought a half bottle to try Ah-so opener and glasses, but it was a disaster. Cork was too small and I pushed it in the bottle and made splashes everywhere 😦

My Carbonara In Portugal

December 2, 2019December 3, 2019 myeverydayeats

I started a two week language course today. It’s supposed to be a class for 2-10 but it became private because no one else signed up, which is nice since I am a very beginner to Portuguese.

1.5 hour private lesson instead of 3 hour in group actually works better for me since the class ends at noon. Lunch time is very important!!!

Lunch @ 1pm at home, Salad & leftover pasta

We went to bank and post office after lunch and bought a snack at a street vender.

Castanhas (roasted chestnuts) are a natural healthy snack for fall/winter season in Lisbon. É delicioso!!!

I finally found the wine glasses I had wanted since we saw at neighborhood restaurants. Also, the store has a lot of good stuff and the lady is so charming. I will definitely go back.

Dinner @ 5:30pm, my carbonara turned almost perfect although I didn’t have all pots and tools I usually use in the US.

Portuguese Tapas Night At Home

November 30, 2019November 30, 2019 myeverydayeats

We were taking easy and enjoying wine and tapas this evening. Starting @ 5:30pm. Queijo Fresco and Presunto (fresh cheese and prosciutto)

Fresh cheese tastes mild and smooth like dessert. Not sweet but texture is like pudding. 5 or 6 pieces of prosciutto was 1€.

I was going to try a really cheap Portuguese wine between 1-2€, but I was not brave enough and chose one 5€ from Douro. Very smooth and easy to drink.

Sauteed Chouriço with garlic, onion and bell pepper. He loved this dish.

We tried Sardine Pate, a friend recommends

Lunch @ Sabores Da Penha

November 29, 2019November 29, 2019 myeverydayeats

He suggested to go to one of our favorites for lunch today. It’s located on top of hill but we need to go pick up the rest of our stuff at Airbnb nearby, so it was actually a great idea.

We ordered pratos do dia and two glass of wine, red for him and white for me. The lady asked us if “natural (room temperature)” is ok. I asked for “fresco (chilled)” instead. We understood almost everything she said and it was so smooth to choose side order. I was tearing because we knew nothing at the first time here.

Glasses are full of wine as always. Portuguese wine never disappoints us!

Mine: Tiras de chocos con arroz e salada 5€

His: Alheira con ovo 5€ (bread sausage under egg)

If they don’t have Doce da Casa, we would skip a dessert but they did! Happy!!! It’s interesting to taste Doce da Casa at all different restaurants. This one tastes more cream instead condensed milk.

Total: 15.10€ + 1€ tip

The gentleman in the counter thought I was Chinese and was so surprised when I told him I didn’t speak Chinese. Japanese is so minor in the world and I share a hurtful feeling when a Portuguese person is being confused with Spanish…
