The Ford Family gets a BRAZILIAN....(Written by husband Adam)

Hey all!  So at the conclusion of our Spain-ish night I was offered the wonderful opportunity to take over the whole process from Kara and do my own thing, since it was my choice for the country this week.  I figured we had yet to venture the continent of South America.  So of course, I chose the biggest country on the continent....BRAZIL! I was in charge of finding the recipes, doing the shopping, cooking, and the infamous writing of the blog.  I picked one of the first and easiest(of course) recipes I could find.  I picked a entree called PicadinhoA-Brasiliera , ya, easy for you to say. 

It was very yummy; beef, veggies, rice, the works!

Ayden and Zoie loved it so much they devoured their whole plates.

Then I was in the process of making a decision on my Brazilian desert..when I found out Kara and Ayden had made a cake when I was gone today so we already had something for desert, but not Brazilian, so I went with an authentic Brazilian beverage called Caipirinha.  It was delicious made with a Brazilian rum called Cachaca, lime, and brown sugar....mmmmmmm.  Unfortunately when I went to the store they did not carry Cachaca but here is what I found:

(You can't see it in the picture but it says smooth Brazilian Rum in the middle)

Pretty much the same thing right? Anyway, I made the alcoholic concoction all by myself:

YUM!!!!!!

We did learn some pretty interesting facts about Brazil:

Ayden remembered in particular that 0.5%(1 million) of the Brazilian population are Asian.

Kara recalled that Brazil is the largest Catholic nation in the world.

I mentioned that Brazil is the 5th largest country in the world in terms of population.

So in conclusion I have learned that my wife works a lot harder then I give her credit for on our country challenge.  You work hard baby and I love you for that..plus I look forward to the benefits of eating your wonderful ethnic foods once a week.  Love you baby! 

Adam OUT!
