Day 7 - Dancing

Last night we stopped by our friend Heaven's birthday party and then went to The Mighty to check out Bonobo's new set up with a live band. It was fire hazard crowded and sauna hot but it rocked my world. Especially the surprise appearance of Bajka, I had no idea she would be there. Joe and I danced and sweat for a good chunk of the night and it felt so good! I drank water for most of the night and was really proud of it, not to mention nicely hydrated and hangover free this morning. When we got home Joe wanted a midnight snack of cheese and crackers and I had also made Brigadeiros earlier that day thanks again to Mercado do Brasil. It reminded me of my teenage days when me and my girlfriends in brasil would come home late at night and raid the refrigerator and make brigadeiros, trying to keep it down and not wake up the parents. I have never met anyone that loves chocolate as much as my friend Tassi and I did at that time.

In case you are wondering, brigadeiro is a very simple brasilian desert made from condensed milk, chocolate powder and butter. Just mix one can of condensed milk, 3 heaping tablespoons of chocolate and one tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan. Keep mixing over medium heat for about 10 min. Pour it out into a buttered plate and let it cool. Roll into balls and coat with sugar or chocolate sprinkles. Heaven.
