Fim-de-Semana Especial | Special Weekend

O fim-de-semana que passou foi especial. Visitei a minha família e regressei ao Minho.

Para além de tudo o que implica estar com os mais queridos, também tive a vantagem de usufruir de boa comida e de óptimos dias de sol.

O jardim dos meus pais está lindo!

 

Não faltaram alguns dos meus pratos favoritos (fiz encomenda antecipada), entre eles os Rojões à Minhota da minha mãe, uma delícia.

 

Regresso no Natal para dar e receber mais mimos.

This weekend was special. I visited my family and returned to Minho (a region in the North of Portugal). Besides all the good things I have when I'm with my family, there was lots of good food and wonderful sunny days.

Some of my favorite dishes were ordered previously, like the one in the photo above, Rojões à Minhota, made by my mother. It is a typical meal from Minho made with pieces of fried pork that were in a marinade, fried potatoes, fried tripe (small intestines) and pieces of liver.

I know that reading this description might not make you enthusiatic about eating such a strange dish (my husband is Portuguese but not from Minho, so he doesn't eat the tripe). For those (like me) that have grown up eating this, it's perfectly natural.

It was a short stay, but worthy. The return will be at Christmas.
