About three weeks ago while having yet another family evening of good eats and mindless banter, two Tony's and one Armando devised a plan to cook up a typical Portuguese-like rabbit meal. A date was set and the plot thickened as Sunday drew near.
Three fedoras, three pounds of rabbit, one box of pasta and some vinho verde translated into a culturally palate awakening soiree.
And, oh what a night it was!
It so happened the great rabbit cook-off coincided with Father's Day, a Portugal win, a Miami Heat win and in the same context a proper send off to our Portuguese vacation just three days away! Sunday, June 17, 2012 was a perfect Sunday filled with all of the best case scenarios! True-that!
As I quietly anticipate the goodness of things to come, I admit this must be the first Monday EVER that I am not mourning the loss of my weekend nor counting the minutes till the late day bell rings so I can go home. I am happily seated in front of a small to-do list and deciding what reading materials and finger foods I plan to pack into my carry on. Tough life isn't it? I will take it!
This Monday I continue to thank God for my amazing family and all the wonderful elements that are packed into our days and nights. Once again we have had a time to gather and embrace the tangible reality that all good things truly do come from above. (James)
Portugal in two days!
