Brazil is world-famous for churrasco, or barbeque, and it is a big part of the culture. As such, Carol and I have been doing this fun thing on Sundays that we call go to the kiosk in the little town and get a rotisserie chicken. It's a pretty good time. Kepner loves it. He sits with rapt attention watching the sausages and pieces of meat as they rotate and roast. I'm pretty attentive too and for the same reasons, some of those pieces of meat are really big. Carol does the talking. Pretty soon a roasted chicken is placed in a box, and then the guy adds a bunch of potatoes from the bottom of the roaster, potatoes that are buttery on the inside and flavored by the drippings. Then he throws in a baggie of farofa to make it a meal. Farofa is cassava flour that has been spiced and fried in bacon grease. It's a subtle but addictive substance added to many broths, beans, stews and meats here. It's a winner, this chicken dinner. It smells fantastic, tastes divine, feeds us for days and is fun for the whole family.
