The Devil and Miss Prym

This session was especially meaningful.  Not only was  reading and discussion Paul Coelho's book an incredibly insightful and enriching experience, we learned more about Brazilian culture from friends Paulo Castro and Bruno Guimaraes.  Paulo and Bruno are from Brazil and were so kind to share what they love about their home country.  Bonus? They facilitated our demonstration by teaching us about the traditional drink from Brazil, the caipirinha.

• Bruno's wife, Kristen, gave me a great idea about serving Brazilian hotdogs. Yep, that's a thing and boy are they tasty. She shared with me how to make them so I decided to whip them up and add them to our Brazilian inspired table o' goodies. Here are the ingredients and how I made them:
• 1 package hotdogs
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• Salt and pepper
• Tomato sauce (canned, jarred, whatever you've got)
• Hotdog buns

1. Saute peppers and onions until soft, then season with salt and pepper.
2. Add the hotdogs to the skillet. I cut the franks in half to make them appetizer size.
3. Allow the franks to sear a bit, then add about a cup and a half of the tomato sauce - stir to coat, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.  Remove the lid and allow the yummy stuff to continue simmering so that most of the water evaporates. 

I cut my buns in half, too, and they were cute as well as delicious! Bruno said I nailed it - for the win!
