Marty Feldman's bugger'd off and I've had a life saving operation to uhm, well, to er...save my life.
Here's a Baden Baden 1999 Bitter Ale, blazes if I know why they call it 1999, can't read the small print. Follow the "produtos" link and choose "1999", it says:

"A perfect partner for risotos and white and red meat. (dammit, doesn't mention grilled cheese or red-peppered spicy sausage).

Inspired by the high quality, traditional and renown English Ales, 1999 is unmistakable. Its slightly bitter taste and fruty aroma are remarkable. Its reddish colour also (don't look at me, I'm just tranlsating what they wrote).

Produced from specially (I added that 'coz they didn't have any adverb here, and it NEEDS one!) selected malts and hops and from the purest waters of the Campos do Jordão, this beer has been produced through a slow and careful process of maturation that guarantees all its flavour"

Exellent, but WHY THE DIVIL'S IT CALLED 1999??

In case you're wondering about the squashy yellowy thing on the plate, it's not an omlette, it's an experiment that went wrong, but didn't turn out too badly. I bought "quejo coalho" which is grillin'/barbecue cheese, popped it into my doughnut grill-pan and instead of it turning out nicely grilled, browned and crunchy around the edges, the whole thing just oozed through the grill into the pan and formed a blobby mass. Still, I scraped it out and ate it, delicious!

SPECIAL SAMHAIN EDITION!

31st October 2008, Samhain.











First I invited Marty Feldman around for a glass of Abadessa Export.






















Then I got stabbed in the chest whilst clutching a glass of Heineken (longneck)

TERROR!

Tuesday 21st October 2008, around 8pm

Is this a still from a Horror B movie or WHAT??

I'm just back from a 10km run and thought a glass of chilled Heineken would go down rather well.

Maybe we should just concentrate on the Glass of Beer (sexy thighs uh?)

Saturday 20th September, Farroupilha Revolution Day. I got a 20 litre barrel of Abadessa's export, barbecue and great friends to celebrate! On the menu pork ribs, chicken hearts, alcatre, tatu. I made tahini and blue cheese dips, there was caipirinhas, good music, good people and altogether a great afternoon.

Friday 19th September, Heineken longneck and sunset at 18:13. I'm at home alone

Sunday 7th September, Independence Day, around 2pm. I'm celebrating alone with a few glasses of Serramalte and some Jigs and Reels practice.

Some lonely evening a few weeks ago, can't remember the beer.

A glass of heineken on my new patio table before the barbie begins, hence everything's clean.

Same Sunday aftenoon some weeks ago, barbecue restaurant, Brahma Extra, because they didn't have anything better. The glass is almost empty because only then I remembered to take the photo.

Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks ago.

Bohemia 600ml, cheapo glasses, plastic brahma bar table and chairs, a Sunday afternoon in the park, Zé do Passaporte bar. Crappy Beer and deco notwithstanding, it was a marvelous afternoon because of the company, my dear friend Hêlo, whose arm is quite visible here.
