Day 95 ~ Buffet

I don't think I can be called a meat lover, but I am definitely a grilled meat lover. Today it occurred to me to take the family to a Brazilian steakhouse for a treat. I was going to say that it is an original way to spend Christmas Eve, but I just realized that it is the same thing we did a year ago. Only then, we went for dinner, to a different place, and with a bunch of relatives. Another difference with last year was that the come-give-me-food signs were not per table, but individual. I made a quick trip to the salad buffet before starting my banquet, but only to get farofa (fried yuca flour), which I love. Then we all turned our cards to green and the parade of seventeen meats started. I liked their bottom round the most, perhaps because it was the first cut we were offered and I was hungry. Well done it is for me--defying the canons of meat cooking is of no concern to me. We rounded our feast with pão de queijo (cheese bread made of tapioca starch), mashed potatoes, fried banana, and baked pineapple.
