05.07.16 - Buchada de bode

Bom dia,

Hope all well in la belle France; work continues merrily on here, as Kazakhstan romped to a 138-55 victory over Thailand in the UNSC second round (nice to be on the winning side of an election for a change), followed by Wales marching on into the Euro 2016 semi-finals on Friday.

On Thursday we had our evening kickabout and went to the usual grotty bar for post-match meat and beer, only for the owner to serve up some choice Wagyu beef that he had improbably got his hands on. During the ensuing meat-based conversation, I learnt that the Brazilian Northeast has a regional equivalent to haggis (i.e. low-grade meat mashed up into a stomach), called "buchada de bode" - "bode" meaning "goat" and also "Satan", apparently.

Continuing the general eating theme, on Saturday we went to Carla's birthday do at a bar down the road, which involved free cake and caipirinhas, and on Sunday we went en famille to the weird 80's-themed fondue restaurant in the hills that I went to for my birthday, for an all-you-can-eat pasta buffet set to a yacht-rock soundtrack, before heading home to flop about.

Oh, and Gaby bought a cat cushion. Another compilation too.

That is all; speak soon!
