Our friends the Ginsbergs take cooking classes wherever they travel in the world. We know they’ve taken classes in China and Vietnam and they’ve probably taken others we don’t know about.
Jamie thought it was such a great idea that she wanted to sign up for a class here in Lisbon. After we tasted pastéis de nata, she said she’d love to learn to make them.
Much to her surprise, there is a cooking school located right in the middle of the large Lisbon market and when she checked the schedule, she was very happy to learn that tonight’s lesson was “How to make pastéis de nata.” She enrolled immediately.
She’s like a school girl showing off her new clothes on the first day of class.
Shouldn’t the teacher be wearing a hair net over his face?
I think he’s beginning to realize that this student may have real potential.
Wait! Could it be? Is this woman a baking prodigy?
The first taste test seems to have gone well.
The second taste test went even better.
Look at that. Pastéis de nata perfection on her first attempt.
The instructor looks rather proud of his student, doesn’t he?
Bravo Jamie!!!
Is Jamie baking when you guys return home?!?!?!
Jamie looks adorable in that apron! Can she give me some baking tips when you guys get back?!
Jim: It concerned me about the terrorist bombings in Barcelona…on that note, I guess you won’t be visiting Syria, any time soon! Lol~
What if I’m having more fun sitting in air conditioned comfort and sipping on a merlot reading and seeing all about your trip around the globe than you are doing it? I get to save all sorts of money, not risk food poisoning or terror attacks and not get air sickness on planes or sea sickness on floating transportation… Not to mention risk my spouse falling in love with a tour guide… Yet I feel like I’ve been there! Thank you for doing all this work in order to make my retirement so wonderful… I’m touring the world for free from the comfort of being in front of my iPad. Bless you two!!! B.
