Christmas times, Turkey times...

It's the 6th of January already, and I am still eating Turkey... Everybody went back home and I was left alone with the Turkey :(

Good that I have a big Freezer, and what was left from the Turkey is already inside, waiting for the next visitor!!! :)



We were hungry...

Christmas time - part 2

Well well, now it is official: my appartment was tested, and it passed the many chaos visitor test :)

My sister Kika came with a friend (Raquel = crioulinha), my cousin Manu and Franky. We had a great time together, mixing English, Portuguese and German. For sure now Kika, Crioulinha and Manu can speak better German than before, and Frank better Portuguese :)) And I got messed up and spoke German to Kika and Portuguese with Frank. Chaos!

But we all survived, well feed and drunk. We tried all sorts of hot wine available in Vienna, and roasted a huge 6Kg Turkey, which turned to be very very tasty!

The proof of the survival week:

Christmas Time - Part 1

Christmas is now gone, and I just started to recover from it now... That's why I didn't write earlier.

One of the good things of being in Europe is the Christmas Markets everywhere. And considering I am very close to East Europe, I took one weekend in december to go to Prague and check their Christmas Market.
Apart of the ice cold weather around 0 degrees, it was wonderful. The city definetly worth a visit, even in Winter. And the hot wine is also very tasty. The highlight of the Czech Republic Christmas Market is the TRDELNIK, a kind of bread rosted directly in the fire. The flour mixture is rolled in a wood pipe, and after ready rolled over a mix of sugar, cinammon and nuts. Delicious!


Check the circles below the wonderful background scene :)
