the food is amazing. sao paulo is (unbeknownst to me when i arrived) one of the gastronomic capitals of the world. fancy restaurants abound, and dishes i enjoyed include: spinach and ricotta ravioli with butter and sage, gnocchi with potato cream sauce, and a specially prepared vegetarian sushi course.
out of sao paulo the food is not so...cosmopolitan, but i´ve spent the last few nights at a monestary, eating locally grown "comida tipica" - heaping portions of kale and squash and mandioca and rice and beans. fried eggs in the morning with papaya and pao de queijo and sweet sweet sweet cafe con leite.
and now we´re in ouro preto, and i just had my first ever pizza doce - pizza dough with hot fudge, strawberries and vanilla ice cream. sounds scary, i know. but oh so delicious.
i´m feeling inspired...
