Ouch! Bathroom is a mess…

myeverydayeats
Breakfast: French with pistachio cream, coffee @ 7:20 a.m., Arroz de Pato (duck rice) & soup @ 10:30 a.m.

There’s been a leak issue in other units of this apartment building since last December. Recently some plumber “found” a crack on the pipe that is located very closed to our bathroom. So today we have two gentlemen to replace the pipe or fix the crack. But! They need to break the wall to reach the spot. OMG…there was no crack on the pipe that had been previously reported, but they still see the water. Now they need to come back to break another wall to reach a different pipe… It’s very inconvenient not be able to use the bathroom for hours. Plus, we can’t go anywhere to spend time or use a bathroom because of the “lockdown” in Portugal. Shoot!

Lunch: Kebab sandwich @ 1:40 p.m. I went out to use a bathroom in the market nearby and picked up lunch.

Simple bread with butter & pate, olive pizza bread, wine @ 5:00 p.m. after they left.

Tea with cherry syrup @ 7:15 p.m. Stressed out because they will come back to work in the bathroom again tomorrow.

Ballotine de Peru on Christmas Eve

myeverydayeats
Ballotine de Peru (Turkey in bread) 46€ from our favorite bakery picked up @ 12:25 p.m.

Looks delicious !!! I think this easily feeds 4 people.

Christmas Eve lunch: Turkey Ballotine with potato, chestnut, cabbage, burrata salad with bell peppers, red wine @ 1:00 p.m.

I am glad that I didn’t cook turkey myself. It’s juicy and stuffing with chestnut & chouriço is so tasty.

One of my favorite wines from Alentejo

Snack: Gorgonzola & red wine @ 6:30 p.m.
