Lunch @ Pirata

November 17, 2020November 27, 2020 myeverydayeats

We went to one of our regular places, Pirata for lunch. We love this snack-bar serving everything we need such as delicious food & drinks, friendly communication and good price.

Hand writing daily specials (Prato do dia) are usually a good sign for local traditional freshly cooked Portuguese food.

He goes with a draft (imperial in Portuguese) and I took a glass of “sparkling wine” (vinho a pressão)

My lunch: Bacalhau com natas, a popular salted cod dish

His: Espetadas de frango, skewered grilled chicken with bacon, sausage, pineapple

Dessert (sobremesa): Rice budding (arroz doce), Portuguese egg tart (pastel de nata)

Coffee to closed the meal (café cheio). In Portugal, they don’t usually have coffee with dessert but after. Our lunch was 20€ including 2€ tip, which is not mandatory here.

2nd breakfast: Caldo verde @ 8:00 a.m. I probably had a pastry and coffee before this.

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.

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.
