A Day in My Life

Yesterday I was suposed to post about my day.

Every month, on the 14, at Little Jenny Wren, there is A Day in My Life.

Yesterday it was 14 and I wanted so much to join and I couldn't because my little girl was not well: fever, cough and vomiting. So, I was not able to participate.

Today I will post about my day yesterday.

First, in the morning, we went to Mass as we do every Sunday.

It was pouring rain but with some sun smiling sometimes.

Lucky we were, because the moment we went outdoor, there was the sun. The same when we arrived at Mass. The same when we went out.

Then we went to the market to buy some fresh bread. When we were going to the car to go home, it fell down the whole sky in the form of rain. We were so wet, the only thing we wanted was to go home as quickly as we could.

I was afraid that the baby (4,5 years old baby!) could feel worse because, when we went to Mass she was already a tiny bit feverish. So it happened. The poor girl really felt bad and wanted to stay on my lap all the afternoon.

I couldn't say it was a bad thing for me because I had a good excuse to stay seated all day. I was not feeling very well too.

We saw movies and had a good rest.

Today she's better, praise the good Lord.

Pink Saturday

Today, for Pink Saturday, I will find some pictures of pink in my house and I will post here.

I will begin with pegs.

I have a lot of clothes to wash and I want to put them in the line to dry! But where is the sun?Let's hope for some.

My pink bougainvillia.

The rain has been so hard that took away lots of flowers. I know, in this picture it is in the sun, but even with the rain, it's so pretty.

The window by the stairs.

I keep two pots of geraniums and they like the place. They are always nice.

My african violets. I have it on my kitchen's windowsill.

And to finish, three pink pretty things belonging to my young girls.

If you would like to join us go to How Sweet the Sound.

Show and Tell Friday

The days have been so dark and rainy that I couldn't take a proper picture of my Christmas tree. Even so, here it is so you can see it.



I'm wating for a sunny day to take better photographs and show you better.

Making soup & etc

Here, in our house, we do eat a lot of soup.
So, here I am, again, heading to the kitchen to make more.

What should I put on the soup today?

Spinach or watercrass? Or maybe brocolli.

About cooking, just look to the amazing roasted pork my husband made. It's wonderful, isn't it?

And about the apple crunble I posted previousely, you can see it was much apreciated.

Apple crumble

Since the begining of Autumn we have been eating apple crumble every week.

Other years I used to make around two only, one of them at Christmas. Now, we can't live without this weekly pleasure.

I must say I always add lots of cream on top of it.

This week's is gone.

Wull, I guess I must wait until next weekend!

Cozido à portuguesa

Boiled the portuguese way.

It's the name of this dish. Remember the feijoada? That is a stew. This is similar but just boiled.

You put in a big pan the vegetables,potatoes, turnips, cabage, onions, carrots and the sausages of all kinds and meat and let it boil all together so the seasoning and flavour of the meats will blend with the vegetables.

When is ready, you take some of the boiling water and with that you make rice. It will end a bit yellowish because of the sausages boiled in that water.

That you may have the remaining water as soup.

Delicious.

Show & Tell Friday

Today, for Kelli's Show and Tell, I will show you some of my bread bags. I think I posted its pictures in my previous blog Mrs L. But I'm not sure. Never mind. Here they go.

They were given to me by my grandmother and mother before I was married for when I would be married and have my house.

This last one it was me who bought and you saw it already when I showed my aprons.
