  1. It does the same trick, costs half the price and at least one of us will be happy with the results. That´s how it is told around here.
  2. Although I am loving reading about HS saga, time to interrupt it with something very impressing
  3. Took my son to his first drum lesson. While waiting, another teacher showed me his cover version of Iron Maiden with the singing teacher.
  4. Buttered oysters with some Parmegianno chesse. Garlic and oil shrimp, Brandy flambé, for not than pyrotechnical reasons. Coconut rice from Chef John. Here we call "camarão ao alho e óleo", and for some reason none of my American and Canadian Portuguese speaking friends are able to say alho e óleo. Funny stuff.

  5. That´s the biggest dildo I had ever seen. Looks a lot alike an alien probe.
  6. Almost as Mr. JvlGato (congrats, btw!), 21th - dating - Anniversary Dinner! Artichoke Heart + Poached Egg Curd Cheese, Paris Mushrooms, Asparagus Herb-Crusted Lamb, White Beans (should I call it Cassoulet?) Shrimp + Cod + Couscous Île flottante Profiteroles
  7. Palemtto/Palm Heart. Pupunha is the smoothest, tastier one of Brazilian Palm Heart. The other one is Juçara, more fibrous. Expectation Reality
  8. Tri-tip. A little bit of oil, salt and pepper to coat the meat. Garlic-herbs butter. Some veggies. 200ºC oven for 1~1h30. Bath everything every 15min. Juicy, extremely juicy. Cheers!
  9. Coulda woulda. Lots os questions to be answered. Who will be the drivers for Toro Rosso? What´s the future of William without Stroll money? Ocon - a very good driver IMHO - future? Leclerc/Raikkonen (should I stay or should I go?)/Ferrari novel.
  10. Reminded of a comment in Youtube: Awesome piece but the thing we need is the DAY. Unlike peasants who have to go to work, we gentlemen of leisure forget which day of the week it is. Rolex knows this, and Moser too should as its not a peasant brand. And most certainly Cartier.
  11. Thanks. Didn´t know this and it really makes a lot of sense, especially in price regulation (and appreciation) of used watches. Anywho, the channel did a lot of videos praising Rolex and Tudor, and AFAIK they are not part of the Richemont conglomerate. Seems like it is going to get scarce soon.
  12. My oh my! Do You guys know this channel? This watch is to die for. Perfection has been achieved.
  13. Once again a simple but effective dish here, mignon and pappardelle with mushrooms and Dijon sauce. It is, still, a work in progress. My 13 old is making his way into the kitchen, and love to slice Paris mushrooms, he says it is the most satisfying cutting experience. This time I used a ton of clarified butter to have a perfect Maillard reaction to the reversed seared medallions.
  14. Well, it was Tuesday, and the menu is in Portuguese, but what the hell. There is a wine store here, and they invite some winemakers to demonstrate their wines in a harmonized dinner, and it was Super! Too drunk at the end to take pictures of the grapa´s, very beautiful bottles. Wife got mad at me ´cause I first tried the food and only after took the picture. Dessert almost did not survived until then.
  15. Man, You are indulging Yourselves big time, and I say it in the most envious way. Very, very nice.
  16. That´s the plain reality for a lot of footballers, the game as a means to let poverty behind. And for each million dollar baby with happy faces, there is a platitude of struggling young guys being ripped off, with hunger, being foul played, with racism, no means no hopes and no dreams. Sorry, one dream, to succeed, to take care of mom and dad, but most of the time no dad. I guess basketballers and american footballers have the same agenda. Here, the game is futebol. That´s the reason I hate some players that act with disdain for the money, the expenses they made, the in your face atitude, being totally disrespectful with the fellow professional inside the four lines. And have all the respect for the ones that have institutes helping their native communities. If they had succeeded, for each one of them, there are thousands struggling to get their very much deserved check at the end of the month. And, most of the time, they don´t, ´cause there are vultures and scammers all around. Now, back to the normal program.
