Organic Market and Lunch with a Friend

myeverydayeats
I went out to ride 24E of tram (Elétrico) after breakfast and a Portuguese wine webinar in the morning.

This line runs through a neighborhood where a friend lives, so we met up at the organic market nearby. I bought strawberries, bread, tomato and arugula.

I brought her back home and had lunch together.

Main course was Spaghetti Carbonara with this Portuguese “Guanciale” but I forgot to take a picture. Comparing to Guanciale that I usually buy from an Italian Deli, this is much saltier. Unfortunately I prefer the Italian one.

Gelato and coffee @ 4:00 p.m., Nice weather but a bit cool in the shade.

Breakfast @ 8:00 a.m.

Leftover lasanha & vinho verde @ 12:10 p.m., We cleaned up the apartment in the afternoon after the contractor left. This morning I did a laundry twice.

Lunch: Napolitan with “shishito (pimento padrão)”

In the afternoon I visited a honey producer/vender at a market. I met the senhor last December at other market. He asked where I was from because his son studied Japanese. Then Bingo! I am Japanese. I offered a language exchange opportunity but his son was too shy to take it. He felt bad for me and offered an opportunity to practice my Portuguese with him instead. Such a nice guy…Today we talked a little more about ourselves in Portuguese and English too. He speaks English very well. Then an elderly assisted by a young policeman passed by in front of his stand. He was so happy to see it and take a moment in a photo. I bought a jar of lavender honey and honey vinegar. Also, cheese and “guanciale” at other vender.

Last Ovos Moles from Aveiro @ 7:30 p.m.

Peruvian Empanada from Las Cholas

myeverydayeats
This morning I went to El Corte Inglés Supermercado.

There are so many good stuffs. I bought two bottles of wine, sushi rice, snack and salmon roe today. Next time I would like to try Guanciale and smoked salmon.

In front of the supermarket, there is a little stand for Peruvian Empanadas. I decided to try 4 kinds and Alfajor.

I was waiting for a bus but even a single bus didn’t come through. After 20 minute-wait, I switched to Metro.

Empanada time @ 11:40 a.m.

Left top to right: Spinach & cheese, tuna & tomato, eggplant & quinoa, duck & orange

I like duck and quinoa best.

Tried salmon roe too.

Lunch @ 2:40 p.m., Salmon roe itself doesn’t take like Japanese one because it’s much smaller and slightly sour. However, it becomes totally Japanese once adding wasabi and nori 🙂

I love Alfajor! So soft and perfectly sweet.
