Home away from home!

This is Dora, Dhaiane's mother-in-law. She and her husband Widson (aka Honey) cooked us typical Brazilian meals, such as tutu, farofa and churrasco. She even made us grilled cheese in the morning the old fashion way (pictured left). Our breakfast consisted of pao de sal (aka da'agua) with choices of ham, mortadella, mozzarella, butter, jam, requeijao and yogurt. Sweetened coffee with hot milk, tea or cold chocolate milk. Dora even baked dad Anderson a carrot cake from scratch because he mentioned to her that he liked it.


On the right we are having lunch with mom and dad, Jeremy, Dhaiane (Priscila's older sister with basebal cap), Andre, her husband and daughter, Julie and mother-in-law Dora. Our day consisted of a big breakfast at around 10 am, a huge lunch which is more like a dinner at around 2 pm and a light coffee and bread snack late evening before bed. Notice the tiled wall in the kitchen. Typical brazilian house has tiled kitchen and bathroom from top to bottom and marble or granite floors (which is a lot cheeper than in the states).
