Baked Eggs in Toast Cups

By -
These are so easy, they hardly qualify as a recipe. All you  need is some, eggs, bread, some cheese and a bit of butter..thats it....so quick, you could serve them up for breakfast instead of cereal. These are  also really great, after a bowl of warm soup, when you need something extra to fill up little and not so little bellies. The amount you make is really up to you........hope you give them a try.





4 slices bread, crusts removed
4 eggs
shredded cheese  (use what you like.)
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 200º/400 degrees. 
Butter the insides of 4 ramekins and cut crusts from 4 slices of bread. 
Gently press the bread slices into the ramekins. 
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese in the center of each bread cup. 
Crack an egg into the center of each bread cup. 
Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with more cheese. 
Cook for 10-15, to your desired level of doneness.

    I live in New England, in the USA. At the turn of the year, it has been dark for several hours even though it's not yet dinner time, and I am leafing through the internet searching for more information on an abobora squash which I got the last day of the seasonal farmers' markets here. Among pages of images, I find a blog from the Azores. The Azores! My husband has sailed there several times, delivering boats across the Atlantic as a delivery captain. He loves the Azores. I have never been there, but I love the music that comes from there. I scroll down the listings and find a delicious sounding (and looking, thanks for the photos)recipe for squash stuffed with croutons and cheese and cream that thankfully ignores collective societal coolness about caloric intake. Oh, I think I'll try that tonight! Thanks for sharing this, and isn't it still marvelous, no matter how commonplace web connections are these days, that a moment (both gustatory and friendly) can be shared and savored over so many miles.

My Grandmother's Alcatra de Carne

By -

“Alcatra” is a traditional dish from Terceira, the island I live on. It is a pot roast that is cooked in large unglazed red clay pots. The pots are seasoned, and with each use get darker, and darker.  The simple spices, combined with onions, bacon and wine are what make this dish  flavorfull and so good. "Alcatra" is the Arabic word for "piece", and  it is  made with pieces of beef (round, shank, chuck). The additon of meat with bone in, makes all the difference, as the bones will give it more flavor. Every village, and everybodies grandmother has a different recipe for Alcatra, this one happens to be my grandmother's version. Shortly after I married, I took all of my ingredients, a notebook and pen over to my maternal grandmother's house. Where, while she put everything together, I wrote down her words of wisdom. Now I must say, she may or may not have forgotten something, but I follow this recipe as is, I don't mess arond with it, it's her recipe,

Lapas Grelhadas- Grilled Limpets

By -

What are lapas you ask? They are limpets, a shellfish, think clams, but  with only one shell and so much better, they taste of the sea when eaten raw, right out of the shell. Perhaps eating a raw limpet is not your thing, then lapas grelhadas is sure to be! Easy to prepare, the lapas are grilled and served in their own shells; resulting in a savory, and divine dish. Great as a starter or as a lazy summer afternoon meal. I promise that you will enjoy this  Azorean delicacy. Fresh Lapas Butter, soft, I like salted Garlic, minced Massa de Malagueta or Piri Piri/Tabasco/Sriracha Lemon Wedges -Clean the lapas, removing any debris, sand etc. -Next decide how you want to grill them, on the stove top, use a griddle or large frying pan, in the oven or BBQ use a large cookie sheet. They all work, and taste great! -Carefully, arrange the lapas, shell down (cupped side down, this means the juices won’t spill out), on the pan, cookie sheet or griddle you will be using. -Nex

Canja de Galinha

By -

Canja is my favorite soup in the whole entire world! I know that sounds childlike, but that's exactly how I feel when I eat this beautiful rice and chicken soup. It just takes me back to being a little girl, sitting at my grandfather's kitchen table, eating a bowl of my grandmother's canja and drinking a bottle of  fizzy orange pirolito. When ever we arrived here on the island for our holiday's, canja was one of the many dishes, that was part of the big family lunch at my maternal grandparent's home. I make it for my family because they enjoy it, but I tend to make it for myself when I am a little under the weather, or just feeling saudades. Canja is love in a bowl, like a great big warm hug, comfort at it's best. Like any portuguese dish, there are a million and one ways to make this. Some call for the use of cumin, others the addition of potatoes. This is how I make it, these simple flavors, are the closest to what my grandmother's  and my mom's Ca
