consoada

· 1 min

Consoada with the people from work, since none of us could go home: Nuno, Ana from Cape Verde, and Marc. Bacalhau com todos, the way you make it, more or less. The potatoes were Ana's and they were better than yours. Don't tell anyone I said that.

Marc had never had bacalhau. He ate three plates and asked if we eat it every day.

We called our grandmothers one after the other on the same phone. Yours was the best call. You told me my English last week was "acceptable." I'm framing it.
