Typical Brazilian dishes

  Farofa

   Farofa is basically tosted tapioca flour (Corn flour) mixed with small pieces of fried bacon and it can be served with rice and beans, barbecue or Feijoada. Farofa contain ingredients like: vegetable oil or olive oil, salt, bacon, onions, garlic, sausage, olives, hard-boiled eggs until golden brown.

   In Brazil, farofa is also used in a stuffing for poultry and other dishes, in this case, it usually contain raisins, nuts, and (or) finely chopped sweet fruits like apples and bananas. In the state of Bahia, it is common for farofa to be prepared with dendê oil, giving it a stronger taste and a rich yellow coloring.

   Farofa is crunch an salty, it is going well with almost everything. This typical brazilian dishe is much dificult to find abroad.

Feijoada

   Have you ever tried a typical brazilian feijoada?

   No i haven't. What's it?

   Feijoada is one of the Brazilian main dishes you can find the most and it is eaten in every corner of the country. It’s a pot of black beans cooked with chunks of meat (dried beef, smoked sausage, pig’s ears, pig's trotters, pig's tails and other parts..). It’s served with white rice, farofa, sautéed collard greens and a slice of orange to flavor.

    I really love Feijoada because it is a little salty and spicy, besides it has an incredible combination of flavors. Would you like to try this dishe?

Paçoca

   Paçoca is a candy and it is extremely addictive. If you’ve never tried paçoca, I hope you get the chance to experience it at least once in your life. its flavour is swet and its soft texture drive anyone crazy.

   Paçoca de amendoim is a traditional Brazilian treat made of peanuts, sugar and salt. We can buy easly this candy in supermarkets and candy shops. But, if we want to make this delicious treat It is very easy to make it. You put peanuts, sugar and salt in the food processor, where they are crushed until achieve a consistency of homemade candy.

   Very popular at the Festas Juninas, this candys is truly a peanut lovers dream.

Mandioca Frita (Fried Manioc)

   Commonly called Cassava or manioc root, native to the Amazonian region. It was the basis of the Native Brazilian culinary and it is still an important food resource to Northern and Northeastern Brazilian populations.

  Cassava tastes a little salty, it is also crispy on the outside and creamy inside. its igredients are manioc,salt and frying oil. Fried Manioc looks like french fries.

Misto Quente

   This is a typical Brazilian snack. You can eat it any time of the day because it is light and very nutrutive. Misto quente is basically made with half of a French baguette grilled with melted cheese and ham inside. You can buy that in the snack bars on the streets or make at home.

   This fantastic snack is soft and chewy. In my opinion it combine very well with orange juice.

Romeu e Julieta (Romeo and Juliet)

   This is a incredible brazilian dessert it is soft, chewy and swet. Sometimes it can be sickening, i recomend to eat that in small portions.

   Romeo is the guava paste, like a thick jelly. Alread, Juliet is the white cheese. They are served with a slice guava paste in between two slices of mild, white cheese. It can also be the main filling of a pie, pizza or a pastel.

   I'm crazy about this dessertand i can't resit eating that. do you like this typical brazilian dessert?

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO IMPROVE YOUR APPEARANCE?

    Most of us have a part of our bodies or faces that we’re not entirely happy about. It can even make you feel self-conscious. Despite friends and family saying it’s fine, we might still secretly wish we could do something to change it. But just how far would you go? Would you cover it up to avoid that feeling of being stared at? Would you conceal it with makeup? Or would you consider cosmetic surgery?

   Makeup is a great way to enhance your features and bring a healthy looking glow to your face. It can also help conceal those little blemishes or scars we’d rather hide away. Best of all, it can be used to highlight areas of the cheeks to give a more defined or slender look. Shadows, highlights, and concealers are essentials for any good makeup bag. With the right products and the right makeup skills, you could create that flawless look we all strive for.

    A good skincare routine goes a long way toward improving the texture and appearance of our skin. It applies to our entire bodies. All of us suffer the odd dry patch that needs just that little bit of extra attention. There are lots of moisturizers on the market. Pick one that is right for your skin type and age. It will help keep the skin soft and supple. It can also help to avoid sores from dryness and blemishes.

    Some people adopt exercise and diet plans to help improve their appearance. They may want to be slimmer and more toned. Diet and exercise can certainly go a long way to achieving this. Of course, it’s hard, though. Restricting your calorie intake and giving up some of your favorite treats can be quite unpleasant. And finding the motivation to get up and do the exercises you need to do is even tougher. It takes tenacity and determination. Prioritizing this part of your life is never easy when you have a career and kids to juggle.

  As we get older, those tell-tale signs of aging start to appear on our faces. Many can be hidden for a time with skilled makeup application. Others may not bother you. But there are some that can cause you to look tired and sad, like puffy eyes. There is surgery for bags under the eyes available that will remove these signs of aging. Most importantly, it helps you look more energetic, happy and vibrant.

  Some people don’t really mind their appearance at all. They are happy, confident people with other priorities in life. But there are many who feel quite affected by their appearance. They may feel it is preventing them getting the jobs they want, or entering into a meaningful personal relationship. A minority of people may even become anxious or depressed about their appearance. Life’s too short to be sad, so it is worth exploring the options available to you.

   How we look is always going to be of some importance to us. Thankfully, many of us are quite content. We all look beautiful, but if you fancy tweaking some of the details, it could be in your interests to seek some advice. Be happy with you.
