certifiably marriage material

I have been taking my lessons on cooking, the culture, and the language. I have learned to make very key
dishes such as caldo verde, which is a soup made with potatoes and kale, and also bacalhau com natas, which is my first salt cod dish (bacalhau) in a cream sauce. The Fairbanks family have had to eat...or choke down....everything that i have made. Fortunately I have been told that both of my dishes were amazing and a common saying in Portugal when someone cooks something that tastes good is to say that the person is ready to be married. So, I am now ready to be married! All I have to do now is find the guy.....

I also remade caldo verde on my own and served it to the people who are also living her at the Portuguese Bible Institute and one of the Portuguese guys turned to me and said, "you are now ready to get married." I thought it was awesome to get that kind of a compliment from someone who ate the same soup made by their mother for lunch that same day!


if you want the recipes let me know and I will post them in a separate blog.
