Unexpected treat

I had an unexpected treat today, hubby prepared our lunch :) A special dish that he has been longing to eat for a long time.Cant recall the name of the wild bird in english but it´s called " Perdiz " in portuguese.It´s not very often we find it in the supermarket that is why when hubby saw it in the frozen meat section,he was very happy and mind you its not cheap too.
We had it in the freezer for almost a month now, never knew the way hubby wanted me to prepare it till he decided to do it himself today :)

The finished dish of the day...



Appetizer before our meal,crackers with cheese and "ponche" from madeira island

Finally,my wish to put hubby cooking again has been materialized. Actually,he is a very good cook and he used to love doing it.The only problem is he also adores my cooking and for that reason alone that he just let me be the "chefe".

Cherry season is over!!

This is the last of cherries that we bought this season. hubby remembered that i still did´nt prepare our cherry compote this year, so we went to the market nearby to buy all 3 kilos available.They are not exatcly at their best but good enough to prepare my compote.






I did´nt want to spoil my nails coz i just cleaned them day before. So i have to exchange places with hubby , i´ll do the preparation of the green beans, he´ll do the cherries.As you can see from his hand, that is what will happen to my nails if i did the unseeding of those beautiful cherries.( i will have purple nails!)


The green beans after the preparation..I prepared our lunch & later cook the cherries,and the result is the 7 bottles of compote below






And this is what became of the cherries after turning them into compote, yummy, yummy! It will be my stock for this year.






The breakfast that my dear hubby prepared that day, caught me by surprise because i overslept.




And lastly is the beautiful view & a lovely day we have outside.
