Brazilian Night In!

Complements of our Brazilian friend, Rafael :)

The first ingredient in a proper Brazilian night is the booze.  And not just any booze mind you, but Cachaca!

Tonights featured Cachace is Sagatiba pura.

Basically Cachace is a mix between white rum and tequila. For more information on this, I request you refer to the modern age's Know-It-All: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cachaça

Behind the Brazilian party in a bottle, is a bucket of home grown lemons. Traditionally Cachace is drunk with limes... but what we had were home grown lemons.

Step one is take a shot of Cachaca.

Step two is make a pitcher of Cachace cut 50/50 with ice and a cup of sugar (per 750mL bottle of booze) plus lemons/limes to desired fruitiness.

Step three is pictured to the right: Pan fry up some Farmer Sausage with onions and chop up fresh tomatoes and onions to make a Brazilian bruschetta.  Definitely go heavy on the olive oil!!

Step four is rip off a piece of fresh french bread and go to town! (Figuratively seeing as this is Brazilian night IN.)

The follow up to the Brazilian adventure was a cheese and bread plater, as featured below.  Also an excellent bottle of wine, as it was a Friday night ;)

 As you can also see below-- the clothes were coming off!  (And that we also were apparently drinking beer.... ;P )

The sexy beast pictured above is known as Bruce.  It is said that the party starts when his begins to stripe... This has actually been statistically proven to be true!

Party on!
