MORE PORRIDGE

[shewho]

today i had porridge again with curried cabbage, but also with feta cheese.

it was alright. i think a different cheese would have been preferable, but the feta is at work and needs eating. (NO WASTE!)

***

i have not thought of an appropriate thing to give up for lent this year.
(2009 = meat
2008 = ? hmmm i can't remember takeaways (thanks tinytear!)
2007 = pints)

it will not be porridge

So did I but then remembered I'm going to Lisbon in two weeks time (that won out over Morocco in the end) and can't possibly go to Portugal without drinking port, that woudl be stupid!

in Lisbon go to an old man's bar and try Ginginha... a sort of cherry liqueur... i think there is a place near Rossio (a quite central square) that has it...

I left Lisbon 10 years ago so not too up to date with what's more in right now, but if you want any tips ask away...

(the Bairro Alto is still the area to go for bars and restaurants though... that much I know...)

Ooh, yes, definitely go there. It's the tiniest bar ever! Also, mmmm, Ginginha! You can order it with or without the cherries in.

I am actually a weird Portuguese who doesn't like either Port (apart from white port and lemonade) or Ginginha, but I know most of my friends like them so I recommend it
