5am always comes too early! Today was another busy day so I knew I needed to get a quick dinner prepared. Seeing as the region is potentially in for a mix of snow and ice, I knew whatever I made had to be ready as soon as I finished work so I could bring some over to my father’s in case the weather caused problems tomorrow.
So, I took a look in the freezer and off I went. Elisabeth asked what I was making and I replied I have no idea lol. Dinner came out to be my take on a Brazilian stew. And it tasted delicious on a stormy night!
We use to love going to a Brazilian restaurant during our trips to NYC, yet due to COVID, we have not been back in well over two years. We miss our trips to the city. COVID has changed so much we use to take for granted.
