Embracing our inner Brazilian

So we've been out to a couple of Brazilian eating places,  but they can be pretty expensive.   I've been telling myself for awhile that I wanted to cook Brazilian food for the hubster.   So we experimented tonight,  and it turned out pretty good.   We can always work on it and add somemore flavor I think but for experimenting with no real recipe it was great. 

 
Featured above is steamed carrots (not really Brazilian but who doesn't love cooked carrots),
Pao de queijo (cheese bread),  and black beans and rice. 
 
 
 
On a side note:  I think I've mentioned how me and Daniel team teach in nursery,  well the last few weeks have been terrible.  The children are sweet I'm sure,  but once they leave their parents and enter our presence its this whole new story.   I understand that a new year and new experience can be challenging for these little kids, but wow its been and is still and adjustment.  We have two problems I think number 1 not enough arms for how many children,  me an Daniel are running from one disaster to the next and not to mention the 10 trips to the bathroom that I had to make with kids so that left him with the rest.   Number 2 people (parents) keep coming in which of course makes more then just there child start bawling.  Well needless to say I've felt like a failure as a teacher.  I told Daniel when we were leaving sometimes I wonder why I was called to do that and why were even there.  He told me that although we fill that way were making it possible for there parents to attend there classes.  Wow I needed to hear that,  I know really it sounds like I'm just a babysitter.  I was grateful to be reassured that I was called for that,  and although we never make a minute into a lesson before three are running in a circle or never are able to get through a book before one has a snotty nose.  I'm there for a reason,  and if nothing else I get to spend those two hours with my love.  



On another side note:  I thought it would be great to have them potty trained,  not so much I think I'd rather just take a stinky kid to there parents.   4 trips to the bathroom for just one little girl,  and then to have to steal the plunger away from her.   Yep diapers til there five  hahah totally kidding but seriously
