São João all night!

The tradition says: sardines and vinho verde! So the tradition for Saint John's (São João) was kept for another year!

The night from 23rd to 24th of June is celebrated in some cities around the world, but I have to confess the best celebration is held at Porto (of course, where else?) eheh

This year new victims were found to experience one part of this celebration: the gastronomy!

So I add some colour to the living room, the table opened to its fullest and then everyone enjoyed. Themed music included! eheh

This year it was Korea, Morocco, Japan, Tunisia, Poland and Brazil the special guest stars! eheh

So the word will carry on... :)

Maybe next time you'll be my guest, who knows? ;-)

Viva o São João!

Cheers!

Food fest!

I know the "F" word shouldn't be said, but I don't care: FOOD YOU! eheheh This time was more "feed you"! Recently I had to celebrate a special date, one of those who arrive each year around the same time!

The best thing about food, for me, is to be able to share with other. Specially when it comes to show the typical dishes and cuisine in general.

So the day was divided in two: pastry during the day and a full table at night. Everyone had a blast... almost a stomach blast. But quality above all! At then end everyone was satisfied and wanted to repeat some other time! eheheh

I didn't cook this time, so we all went to one authentic portuguese restaurant... where the portions are above average (and some times above reasonable!). Better than the food, it's the service. The typical and genuine warm and smiley welcome (something very rare around here).

That's the best gift, to see everyone happy around a table... while eating, of course! :-P Drinking too... wisely, of course! eheh

Enough talking, here are some pictures of the "food festival"!
