cream for the pumpkin pie. i failed to mention it was supposed to be whipped.
your guess is as good as mine
BBQ
Coke
juice, which is on every Brasilian table
rice
salad
fish
and, thanks to José's maid who doesn't mind cooking big things up last-second, turkey
Victór and José eating too soon! BTW, José is pronounced "jghosay", so don't say it in your head with an H at the beginning.

the crew
and, my favorite, Lucas trying my pumpkin pie. most of the Brasilians thought it looked really gross and weird, so they wouldn't eat it. but the ones who were brave and bucked up loved it. so did the teachers. they better have--it was from scratch scratch scratch.

What a feast! and how fun that you were able to help all the kids make the yummy dishes. I am sure your pie was tasty- I can't wait to hear all the details about how it was from scratch, scratch, scratch- I can imagine it took awhile and was quite difficult!
your pumpkin pie looks delish & I don't even like pumpkin pie. :) I love all the colorful pictures of your cooking adventures, even back to the salsa-very artistic.
