Postcards from a day in Brazil

My son Max Cougar
Wish you were here! on the Brazilian side of the Iguazu Falls. Naturally we found some excellent cuisine. Caipirinhas - classic, and the Caipifruta made with fresh crushed strawberries - were perfect chillers as it is summer there in December. It was fantastic to get to see cocktails and menu items we've been making for years in their native land first hand. I gotta say we have the Brazilian BBQ down back at Pure Joy. The tapas-like Tira Gostos were super inspiring. Also loved the way they cut the limes for the Caipirinhas - another interesting thing was that they have them made with Vodka often; called Caipivodka - a flawless cocktail.  


Caipifruta and Caipirinha

My son Lucas at the falls

Absolutely spectacular;  Iguazu Falls  one of the seven natural wonders of the world

A nice menu of some tapas-like Brazilian Tira Gostos


Love the way they cut into rather than cut up the lime, much tidier in the glass 

Our beloved Brazilian BBQ; also a Pure Joy Specialty

Fantastic with Toasted Farofa, Chimichurri Sauce and Molho à Campanha

Brazilian Style BBQ, Churrascaria de Rodízio; Meats are grilled on swords then waiters move from table to table bringing different types of meats on skewers from which they slice portions onto your plate (here is ribs).
