Tomar Cafe na Esplanada

myeverydayeats
Meeting a new friend for the first time at cafe in a park. It’s not typical me but I have made several friends through online during the pandemic. I hit it off with some of them by regularly having “Zoom” meetings. We spent 2.5 hours in the terrace and I had strawberry lemonade, latte & cheesecake :p

We went to the supermarket at El Corte Ingles. She showed me all the good stuff. There was a wine specialist, Jorge who answers customer’s questions and suggests which wine would be good for them. I bought one bottle, I was looking for and another, he recommends. I really wanted to try empanadas (empadas in Portuguese) in the last photo, but my husband and I don’t eat in the evening, so I will wait for the next time.

*****************************************************************

Breakfast: Bolo de chocolate, orange, coffee @ 7:40 a.m., Pizza bread with wine @ 10:50 a.m., Anchovy & garlic pasta @ 11:35 a.m.

It was not a good idea to open a bottle before a 30 minute walk to the park, but I couldn’t resist. This is an organic wine and it’s fairly good but not a wow factor.

Art, Doughnut & Beer

myeverydayeats
New art project has been going around o Mercado de Arroios (a traditional market). Yay!

I talked to one of the team members working there. He says it’s a collaborative project of Junta de Freguesia (the Parish) and the studio. They also work on the art around Time Out Market Lisboa. It’s a bit too far to walk there, but can’t wait to see it.

Always enjoy these little pieces. Lisbon is amazing…

Doughnut from Terrapão & beer @ 4:00 p.m., Surprisingly good! I think they use slow fermented dough as for the bread. After a walk beer was a perfect pairing. Bought a piece of banana bread and brioche buns for burger tomorrow.

Cream cheese stick with sweet & sour sauce, red wine @ 12:00 p.m.
