A quick afternoon entry before I’m off to the Pelourinho for
an evening theater performance. I’m loving the little day-to-day pieces of life
here. Like morning runs on the beach – despite a bit of smog or a whiff of
trash, the view and sea breeze make it all worth it. I usually go with my
colleague Priscilla, and we encounter a host of runners and early morning
swimmers. For breakfast, my house mom prepares an abundance of fruit to go with
cuscuz de tapioca (like tapioca
pudding, made with coconut milk), bananas
da terra (plantains) with cinnamon, or cuscuz
de milho (a hot corn cereal) .
She also makes fresh coconut milk. Just blend the meat with a little water,
strain it, and there it is! Perfect in coffee. After I get home from classes, Helena
always seems to have something new for me to try from the market. Today, it was
an avocado even bigger than the first! And would you believe my housemom had
never had guacamole?! Don’t worry, we made it together!
