Delicious Easter

Christmas, Carnaval, Easter and many others... for every season or holy day there's always something... typical on the table. This is one thing I really enjoy about my country, to have a dishes and desserts. But the most important is to share with others! :)

So to keep the tradition, I've prepared lamb and kid. It's weird to say I prepared kid or I had kid for lunch! eheheh But this is actually the english name for cabrito (in portuguese and spanish).

For dessert, there's nothing more typical than pão-de-ló (similiar to the sponge cake). Luckly in Paris you can find anything and everything related to portuguese products.

I'm lucky because I can prepare all the meals, show the wines and other products. No, I don't work for the Chamber of Tourism! eheheh

It was a long meal... and digestion will take some hours! :-P But it was delicious, nothing went wrong this time! ;-)

As a side note, although France is known for its cuisine, it's curious to see there aren't traditions regarding typical dishes for every occasion.

Hmmm... I wonder what is the next special date. Saint John maybe? ;-)

I really would like to be the next Spielberg or Scorsese, but no, I'm not having directing classes ;-)

This was one of my several April Fools pranks I usually like to make! eheh Yes, it's stronger than me! But don't feel bad, many others felt.... but for different pranks! eheh

At work I spread the news that I was leaving, due to budget reasons. Most of my fellow workers were surprised but at the same time it was... plausible! eheh Luckly I warned everyone at the end of the day, because they were already collecting money for an office pool!! eheheh Can you imagine? My prank was being already lucrative! eheh

But then they got their revenge: they managed to put a sticker on my back with a fish on it. It's what french call "poisson d'Avril". If you want more info on this read my special report! eheh

Then, accordingly to my circle of friends, I had other pranks: canceling a meeting due to a flood in the kitchen, inviting people for lunch or saying I watched the Indiana Jones 3D movie ;-)
It was a very funny day! eheheh

Well, back to real life (well, it's fun too) and time to prepare the Easter Sunday lunch ;-)

A special thanks to those who fell for my pranks! :-)

A future director

I like to watch movies, I like to review them, I enjoy the small details from each movie and to see great performances.
It's easy to criticize, to say it could be better and blah blah blah. What's the best way to help? Instead of talking about, I will do my own movies.

I decided to join an amateur film school, wishing I could be the next Oscar winner! eheh It will take some time until I step behind the camera. For the moment I have to learn everything from scratch: storyboards, sets, framing, light, sound and editing.

I think I should have started as an actor, before trying directing... but I couldn't wait that long! eheh

So now, 3 times per week, after work, I join my new group of movie fans who want to discover cinema from the other point of view. And that doesn't mean in 3D! eheh
