“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” ― Virginia Woolf

Here are some pictures of the last two restaurants I have been to.  And some pictures of my last bakes.

I often don’t think of pictures until it is too late.  So here are pictures of half eaten food.

Restaurant Bela Lisboa – Portuguese food

Cod fish cakes and hummus 

Picanha – a Brazilian cut of meat, and a glass of vinho verde – green wine

Classic Portuguese dessert: Pastel de nata, custard tart

The Garlic Restaurant – Italian Restaurant

Cosmopolitan at The Garlic Restaurant

“The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude.” ― Julia Child

Corn muffins: tastes better than it looks

 Lemon Pound Cake, made in the bread machine – Delicious!

“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” ― George Bernard Shaw
