Brigadeiros For Breakfast

Just some random thoughts on a Saturday morning, in no particular order.

-Had a great time last night, laughing and dancing with friends. Highlight of the evening, wired on Brigadeiros, N. dancing the samba down the sidewalk after the restaurant closed.

-Woke at 4:00 AM and went out and took a walk down to Starbird.  Sitting on the picnic table, watching that summer fog burn off, drinking a cup of Tully's and eating a maple bar. Simple and brilliant.

-Great, and I mean, great morning in chat - good people, good conversation, light hearts and fun times.  The thing that stuck most in my mind - it being so hot (in MA) that she looked out the window and saw the devil walking by with a crack pipe.  LOL - that will stick with me as a strange and amusing image.

-Wonderful morning call that got the day off to a great start.

-A nice lingering hot shower.  My bathroom faces east and when the timing is just right, besides the shower itself, the room is filled with this great golden light. Perfect for starting a morning.

-It dawns on me folks may not know the incredible pleasure of Brigadeiros.  Here is a link to a basic recipe. Experiment with the cocoa you use until you find the exact flavor you like.  http://www.ehow.com/how_2198619_brazilian-chocolate-brigadiers.html 

-When done correctly, and it is an art, a Brigadeiro explodes in your mouth with flavor.

-Now, off to get some breakfast.
