Piggy in a mud bath

In fact there is a piggy , but no mud !

Rice and beans is a popular basic Brazilian dish.

Beans are a source of protein, rich in iron and other important
nutrients to our body.
And rice is a rich source of carbo.
Preferentially consume at lunch to have power for the rest of your day.

Simple and tasty : The real Brazilian happy meal .

Thanks, Mary Candy, I'd love to visit Brazil, it sounds like a fascinating country- who knows, maybe one day I will meet up with you :)

We have just come home to Australia this morning from a holiday in China; that was a wonderful place, too!

There are lots of things to see and do in Australia! We don't usually see wild cassowaries, though, so your Mum is very lucky to have one near her garden!
If you ever come to Melbourne, let me know:)
