Feliz natal from a little slice of heaven called Portugal.

Other than catching the train 🚂 to a nearby town to raise a glass of cheer with a friend 🍷and attend tonight’s party, my TOP priority was to “get my assets” to La Baguette French bakery 🧑‍🍳 this morning to purchase a real, fresh, warm from the oven baguette 🥖 for tomorrow’s appetizer. This little beauty be transformed into lightly toasted garlicky slices with Brie, Onion Chutney, and crispy Portuguese Chorizo. There was a line at the door and a sense of relief 🥳 when I saw they were not sold out. All the foodies were there securing their treasures. Check that off my list‼️

When your Portuguese landlord knocks on your door with a “Sahndiii, you home?!?”. . . And proceeds to give you a box of homegrown avocados, oranges, tangerines, and lemons. No barcodes or stickers. Just the juiciest and creamiest, most delicious fruit you can imagine!
Oh, baby, do I have culinary plans for you!!

This week I decided to play with Halloumi. Originating from Cyprus, it’s a salty, semi-soft cheese made from a combination of goat and sheep milk. It’s a good meat alternative, and squeaks in your mouth like curds. BTW, autocorrect put “turds”instead of “curds.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ I broiled, sautéed, grilled, and today fried it with sautéed mustard greens, garlic, pears, and walnuts. Not bad!! Will explore more in the future. Personally, I like the 1960s inspired serving tray in my Portugal apartment.
Have you cooked with Halloumi?

Just finished a difficult, try-my-patience lifestyle magazine writing project. Client went MIA, photography was delayed, and the USA editorial clock was ticking. Alas, ‘tis done-EARLY!!💪🏼 💃 Time for a glass of therapy. 🧘🏼 Then back home to start the next project(s). This writer says, “Bring it on!”

When you live outside the U.S., cloth dryers are an oddity. 😳 So, you choose the best weather to wash and hang outside to dry your flannel sheets and towels, lest they take 3 days to dry and get musty. Looks like Thursday is “the day.” I’ll be washing early to give sheets the best chance to dry. 🤞🏻🙏 Showing Celsius and Fahrenheit!

Yesterday’s Rali de Tavira. Supercharged race cars that sound like mechanical wasps buzzing and backfiring through the streets of my quiet little town. Last nights race started at 9 p.m. (of course🥱) with cheering crowds and hometown favorites. For us ladies who like speed - it was heaven. 💃 Now if I could just go for a spin in one of those sexy, petite bundles of horsepower! P.S. made it to 10 PM, then went to bed.#sandisolomonson #needforspeed #ralidetavira #portugallife #algarvelife #gosilveroyster #soloexpat #solofemaletraveler #taviralife #maturetravel

I’ve never seen before: After our recent rains, the small marina at Quatro Aquas was clogged with branches, and, wait for it, oranges! 🤔😂 I love Portugal and all its little head games it plays!! 🤣🤣#Mothernature #oranges #algarvelife #gosilveroyster #sandisolomonson #portugallife #algarvelife #solofemaletravel #rainstorms

It’s a wild and crazy Friday night here in Switzerland. Some poor creature out there is missing a tail and these 2 “ferocious” kitties will have neighborhood hunting bragging rights for weeks to come. I love pet sitting; oh, what thoughtful gifts I receive. #mightyhunter #petsitting #gosilveroyster #catgifts #whatthecatdrugin #sandisolomonson #solofemaletravel

May 1 is Labor Day in Portugal!! Here in Tavira, merchants display life size “dolls” to showcase different types of work. It was hysterical when I turned a corner and was startled by one of these sitting in a chair, staring at me ! 😂 Fun, fun to roam the old town and discover these delightful, playful “workers.” Check out the displays. #laborday #portugallife #portugalholidays #gosilveroyster #sandisolomonson #solofemaletraveler #algarvelife

Labor Day Portugal Style

How can we all be more mindful of our precious resources, including water? Share how you reduce your water usage. Here’s my contribution for the day. Thank goodness I’m washable! 💦

Irish stew, classic rock, and great friends gathering along the river. Yes, Portugal knows how to celebrate St Patrick’s.

For the record, Portugal has the most incredible, juicy, off the charts Oranges. Coming home to “another” bag of Laranjas from my landlord reminded me of the kindness I have been shown in my adopted country. Hey, I think it’s time to eat an orange. #algarvelife #solotravel #oranges #tavira #thebestoranges

VIDEO: Just a quick moment of serenity from Tavira, Portugal. Travel Tip: whenever, wherever you pause to listen/photograph a street performer, leave generous amounts of dinheiro! This young man always blesses my soul with his music. I hope this balances your day.❣️

When it’s dreary, cold and rainy, there’s nothing like a French cafe in Portugal, a good book, hot Cappuccino, and the resident kitty (Francisca) on your lap. SHE decides when you can leave!
