Bom Dia

Bom Dia means good day or good morning in Portuguese.

This morning we woke up snowed in and all our appointments and commitments canceled. We were lazy and stayed in bed for a long time. We then got up and made an amazing breakfast.

Our main course was French Nuggets, which is french toast eaten like chicken nuggets... we tare the bread up into pieces and soak them in egg, then fry it all up at once with cheese. We eat it with ketchup or fresh tomatoes. Today we had it with some avocados we found for cheap. Yum.

Our side drink was an açai shake. We went shopping yesterday and I found a juice company called Bom Dia, which it appears is from Brazil. I bought their Açai juice. While on my mission in Brazil I fell in love with this fruit. We would often stop at little juice shops and get açai pulp blended with ice, which created a slushie/smoothie texture. Added to this would be guarana, another amazon fruit known to be energizing, and sometimes sweet and condensed milk poured in. This would be served with granola and banana slices on top. I've been curious to try some of the açai juices that have sprung up in the US. I guess people are starting to call it a 'super fruit' and a bunch of weird diets and things have popped up. Anyways, I blended the juice (which also had blueberry juice and a bunch of other stuff) with some vanilla ice-cream. It was good. Not as good as what I used to get in Brazil, but still good. If anyone knows where I can get açai pulp I would love to know about it.

So, that is our start to a snowed in day in Pittsburgh. Bom Dia!
