Faço anos no dia 6 de Maio mas ninguém quer saber porque um gajo irá receber um novo chapéu cintilante naquele dia. Não é nada justo.
By the way, someone turned up to the celebrations with an old, monarchist flag. You can see it at the bottom of this pic.
Para mim, a bandeira da República é melhor. O vermelho e o verde a rodear o brasão de armas combinam para dar um efeito marcante. A monárquica não é nada mal, mas prefiro as cores mais fortes.
Hoje é o dia mundial da língua portuguesa, durante o qual as nações da CPLP celebram o idioma que as une. Teria preferido fazer algo fora do comum para celebrar (por exemplo usar uma vírgula corretamente) mas estava a trabalhar portanto acabei por fazer a rotina habitual e mais nada.
Thanks Ferp99 for the corrections
I’ve been enjoying these lads – Bacalhau No Azeite – doing their rap videos on Instagram. It’s not exactly Kanye West but they have lyrics so I can follow what they’re saying and I quite like that. Strong recommendation for anyone who likes rap but isn’t too purist about it (or rather “anyone who doesn’t mind seeing the art form butchered in real time”)
I had another go at making this “bread soup” and managed, I think, not to disgrace myself as badly as last time.
I followed a recipe on YouTube and I used some higher-quality bread. It was only sourdough so could have been better still, but it was better than the crappy bread I used last time. And I used slightly vinegary water from the egg poaching instead of chicken stock.
Verdict: 7/10. I liked it, anyway.
And here’s a bunch of lads singing about it. It’s a roundabout way of doing it but he’s actually pretty much singing the recipe. Lyrics here if (like me) you have trouble tuning in to what he’s saying.
Fiz mais uma tentativa de fazer açorda à alentejana. Desta vez, usei pão melhor e segui a receita rigorosamente. O resultado… Provavelmente não ficou perfeito mas não me senti envergonhado quando experimentei a primeira colherada.
…who likes to prance about pretending to be a scientist, even though my degrees are in barely, tangentially scientific subjects, I enjoy reading this twitter account. It’s Brazilian, so I have to keep my wits about me, but the memes are actually pretty funny, even if about one in ten go completely over my head. And as a bonus, I get familiar with sciencey words without having to torture myself by working through a memrise deck of chemistry terminology or whatever.
