Short ribs for lunch with Bianca and Fabio and the start of operation Kill Mickey.

in #life7 years ago (edited)

My friend Fabio came round for lunch today.

His future wife is in Brazil for 4 months so he has all the time in the world for visits!

Also, he is already growing a beard as you can see.

When the cat's away the mice will play :)

Bianca made a lovely meal with short ribs, cassava, and rice.

She prepares everything in the pressure cooker.

I probably told this many times before but the pressure cooker is a very cool cooking device.

I was always scared to own one because I thought they were basically bombs ready to explode.

But I got used to them.

The short ribs she prepared in the pressure cooker fell off the bone and were full of flavor.

Casava is something I learned to love. We don't eat this normally in the Netherlands.

Everything was insanely delicious.

But when cleaning the dishes disaster struck...

Fabio saw a mouse. A real one...

Now I know we have them because I have seen them too.

It does not bother me too much.

(Actually, I was hoping they would leave voluntary now that it's getting warmer.)

But for Brazilians it's different.

They don't wait around.

It's instant time for a full-on code RED.

I guess I can no longer avoid it now.

All the food will have to go in plastic containers.

Traps will be bought.

Tomorrow operation Kill Mickey will commence.

or maybe I should just get a cat....

Cool gesture that you guys are having fun. Cool dish.
Just wonder what is cassava ?
I am a Caribbean descent and I know the cassava is from yuca.
Keep on steemin’

I think yuca is another word for it but I'm not sure. According to Wikipedia, it is.

thank you for the lovely lunch man. Don't know who is a better cook in that house! much awesome, very delicious. next weekend, my place!

When you say cassava, I dint quite get it. Here in Africa, cassava is only a raw material used in making other foods, for instance we use cassava to make garri, we also use it to make fufu , we use it for Abacha and many other stuffs so what exactly did you guys use the cassava for or did you just cook it like that???

By the way I am laughing my arse out at "operation kill Mickey" ....in my house we don't let the mice see the light of day. Its either we kill it of send it away. They are very destructive rodents and shouldn't be allowed to hand around in the house.

I think she cooked it in the pressure cooker with all kinds of spices. But maybe @bkdbkd can answer this better.

In Brazil we eat cassava either cooked, friend or in soup. We also eat it's flour and you can also make a cake with that.

lol, that’s completely true! You are right, the pressure cooker is an excellent especially for rice.
Tomorrow is a big day I guess, @exyle will be catching the 🐭 lol, I can already imagine.

Oh yeah, a wonderful dish on the photo and ribs look appetizing, I'm sure it's very tasty! You are right, my friend will leave with the warmth of the mouse, but now of course you need to insure yourself and catch them, because they can be nimble and do things, haha. Thank you Mark.
