Are we excited for Mexico? I am. I believe I am going to read Murmur of Bees. I want to also read a biography of Frida Kahlo. Summer of the Mariposas looks like a great ya novel. Share what you plan to read and eat. #FoodandLit @Texreader @Catsandbooks

For those having trouble finding something to eat for #Zambia. #FoodandLit @Jari-chan @Chrissyreadit @Texreader @Catsandbooks

Chrissyreadit Thank you! 3y

Chrissyreadit I will be honest- my struggle was being diagnosed with diabetes last month and trying to get used to the diet I‘m following- it felt intimidating to prepare unfamiliar food. But that being said I know there is a fruit mix with mango and papaya in one of my recipes. ❤️ 3y

Butterfinger I am sorry @Chrissyreadit I will definitely be praying. 3y

Chrissyreadit @Butterfinger thank you! It‘s def just a process and I‘m doin well with a vegan diabetic diet and intermittent fasting! But cooking is not a preferred activity for me and it is now a big part of every day. Thank goodness for Audio Books! 3y

TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit oh so sorry. It‘s a difficult switch out. 3y

I can't believe how lucky I have been at finding restaurants for the #FoodandLit challenge. The only one I couldn't find near me was Russian. This #Guatemala restaurant was part restaurant and grocery store and it was delicious. I had the pepian. @Texreader @Catsandbooks

Texreader That‘s so awesome!! 3y

My Norwegian meatballs were sooooo good. This meal is a keeper. Although, Chaya was hesitant because she knows about the reindeer sausage. The recipe says to eat the lingonberry jam on top of the meatballs and it works.

She read Master Maid - a folktale retold by Aaron Shepard. I could not find it in the database. It reminded me of the Jack Tales.

We don‘t have a plate big enough to do the family-size thing so this is my plate with the bread, injera, from top left, goman alicha (cabbage potatoes and carrots), chickpeas (didn‘t get the Ethiopian name), tibsi (beef stew), and lamb tibs (lamb stew). Delicious, especially the lamb. #Ethiopia #foodandlit @Butterfinger @Catsandbooks

JamieArc Oh man. We have a wonderful Ethiopian restaurant that I haven‘t been to since before the pandemic. I‘m going to be craving it now! 4y

Texreader @JamieArc Yes indeed! 4y

Texreader @MySharonaK I think you‘re right since I just googled it. 4y

Texreader @Catsandbooks @butterfinger Injera was different. The smell is off-putting but the taste was fine, although I got tired of it pretty quickly mainly because Daughter and I used it as our utensil to eat the other items and were full within minutes! As I was shoveling away the leftovers I tried some with the soaked-in stew and it was so delicious. So we decided we‘ll layer the leftovers on injera and let it soak up the goodness & use forks! ☺️ 4y

Texreader @MySharonaK @Morr_Books So glad I had a reason to try it! The closest restaurant was this one and it is almost across the city. So I don‘t see it becoming regular cuisine. And, alas, my husband didn‘t care for it. 4y

We have eaten and discussed three nations so far. As I was finishing up one of my Ethiopian reads, I started thinking of the similarities. Africa, South America, and Asia have all been represented and I see similarities. Does anyone else? Any thoughts? What about with the food?

Chrissyreadit One thought I have is that I have been taught so many negative views about those countries, and i have loved so many things that get overlooked. 4y

See All 17 Comments

Butterfinger @Chrissyreadit I wonder if the negativity stemmed from the Communist reactionaries. That was what made me start thinking. I knew about Vietnam, but didn't realize how America gave money and inhumane thugs (diplomats) to Brazil to fight the spread of Communism. And in Ethiopia. I just never knew. And all the purges because of dictatorship. Thanks for responding. 4y

Butterfinger @tamra @MySharonaK 4y

TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit the beauty is always there. Makes you wonder if we taught the beauty of country and people as a number one and anything negative as as a side note to children how the world would change. Culture days in schools with food and showing beauty constantly would make so many peoples mind set be different ...... 4y

Butterfinger @TheBookHippie that is what I had in school. We sang songs from the different countries and had the food. A few years, we had it here where I teach. 4y

TheBookHippie @Butterfinger we just started it up again in 2019 here ... 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick The effects of war and influence from the "white occupation" are the similarities I've picked up on so far. 4y

Butterfinger @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick yes. There was always a European influence. Thanks for responding. 4y

Butterfinger @Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie ☕. I cannot believe that the first three countries are known for distinct coffee. Crazy. 4y

Chrissyreadit @Butterfinger that‘s true!!! How did I miss that???? 4y

bcncookbookclub Yeah, in the case of Brazil it's completely sure. In our history we received many Africans people and they shared his culinary knowledges with us. We have many influences from African culture in others subjects also... (edited) 4y

ElizaMarie I love Ethiopian food! Last year I did something similar to #FoodandLit (on my own) and when I explored Ethiopia we went to a restaurant in Houston where the owner came and sat with us and taught us all about the food, the culture, he played some different music for us. He was super nice (it was a pretty empty restaurant unfortunately) ... But I fell in love! 4y

I learned so much about Vietnam in February. I get a kick out of seeing your posts of your experiences with food and books. Some of us never experienced Vietnamese food.

Ethiopia is March and I am already having strong emotions. If you haven't already, go to @Texreader post to see what happened this past November. If you need help finding a book or recipe, let us know.

@Tamra has graciously agreed to be our ambassador. Thank you.

DebinHawaii Are we posting them here @Texreader & @Butterfinger or do you want us to make a post? I had 6 tagged posts from 1/11-1/31 + 10 points from the game so I guess 16. (Apparently I‘m highly motivated by 🍫🍫!)😋🤣 And I just went back & read the post fully so I‘ll make a post & tag @Catsandbooks too! (edited) 4y

ElizaMarie I hadn't realized we were doing points... So I am way behind in tracking them. I might not track points and just play along with commenting and posting to just engage .. I think thats the plan

My final post for #FoodandLit #Brazil. I completed 2 short books, one about convent girls, published in 1937 & the other street youths, published in 1939.🤷🏻‍♀️I guess I went for older books about young people! I enjoyed an Acai bowl at my favorite coffee shop & made Creamy Brazilian Black Bean Soup & found some locally made Brazilian-style cheese bread. 😋 And, I listened to a lot of Samba & Bossa Nova music 🎵 on my Spotify Playlist (link ⬇️)

Texreader, Butterfinger

DebinHawaii Many thanks to our hosts @Texreader @ @Butterfinger Here‘s my playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3nx9BQvINMVG3aFCVau3AG?si=KDGX7E5XSFWxeApS2SVC... 4y

Squeeze in another post for #foodandlit chocolate giveaway while it‘s still January! Tell us about all your Brazilian experiences this month: books you read, food you ate, what you watched, & anything else you did to expand your knowledge about #Brazil! I‘m so glad & grateful @Butterfinger came up with the idea, invited me to share the ride, & have our artist @Catsandbooks jump on board, too! Can‘t wait to hear about your travels this past month!

Catsandbooks 🎨🥰🙌🏼 So happy to be a part of this team! (edited) 4y

DebinHawaii I‘ve got 4 hours of January left & trying to finish my 2nd book! 😉 4y

Texreader @DebinHawaii Hope you can make it! I‘m too far from finishing my last Brazil book for the month so it‘ll just have to go into February. 4y

BarbaraBB I‘m still waiting for another #Brazil book, but will just read it it February 😀 4y

Cinfhen I only read one book but I LOVED IT

Perfect Days: A Novel

sblbooks Well, I'm a month behind, but I'm going to read the Seven Sisters. 4y

Butterfinger You have the greatest ideas. 4y

Jerdencon I read 2 books and enjoyed both! Still need to make my Brazilian ham and cheese casserole for dinner - one of these days! This has been fun! 4y

Jerdencon @sblbooks I read the Seven Sisters and really liked it. The next book In the series takes place in Norway so I‘m waiting until we are doing Norway to read that one, 4y

TheBookHippie I found a new author I loved, Clarice Lispector, a couple new recipes to keep in rotation and did a virtual tour of Brazil. So much fun! On to Pho! 4y

Crazeedi @Jerdencon @sblbooks the series is amazing, I have read them all, and waiting for number 7!! 4y

Liz_M I enjoyed seeing all the food and snacks people had. The vegetarian feijoada I made is very good and a huge amount of food -- I'll being eating the frozen portions well into February! 😅 Also happy to see all the Lispector love. 4y

TheAromaofBooks I enjoyed reading a travel guide about Brazil way more than I thought I would - I already started one for Vietnam today! 😂 4y

ElizaMarie I didn't do enough Brazil things. I was unable to get a hold of any Brazilian food (but with the recent move I just didn't have the time I wanted) I did read 2 books (one re-read of an old favorite and one new one - which I really enjoyed) I loved reading the articles about Brazil that were posted in this challenge. I love this challenge and am looking forward to Vietnam! 4y

On this the final day of January and our #foodandlit month of #Brazil, I thought I‘d finally try this beef brisket from Brazil. Not the chopped beef bbq I was expecting but still good. @Butterfinger @Catsandbooks

Texreader While @debinhawaii named all the correct holidays that were the basis for the country assignment (Mexico holiday was the Day of the Dead), @AnneCecilie had a very good answer for Mexico as well and responded first. So both of you win the quiz and should add 10 points to your scores for the #foodandlit chocolate giveaway. Watch for at least one more quiz before Jan 31 to earn extra points! @Butterfinger @Catsandbooks (edited) 4y

Texreader @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Cinfhen So sorry! I needed all four! 4y

DebinHawaii Woot! 🎉 Yeah @AnneCecilie I just named every holiday per country I could find. 😉Mexico is full of them in November! 4y

We visit our new house-in-progress every Sunday, and today I was thinking that I will get to use my new kitchen by the time we visit #Ethiopia for #FoodandLit!

And hopefully, also by the end of the Mansfield Park #PemberLittens #buddyread. 🙌🏽

Why yes, I am thinking of our move in schedule based around the books I read. 🤣🤣

Bookwormjillk We tried Brazi bites today. We think we‘ll like Vietnamese food better 4y

Butterfinger As I look for recipes, I am going to be mindful of everyone's needs - vegan, gluten free, lactose free. If anyone sees something, please share and we'll get it on the board. Poor Karen, I don't cook so I'm over here googling restaurants. 😂 But, I will try to look for recipes. My husband is the cook. 4y

Catsandbooks I'm on pinterest a fair amount so I can look for recipes too and send them! 4y

Texreader @Catsandbooks what‘s your Pinterest name? I can add you to the board so you can post to it too 4y

Texreader @Bookwormjillk I‘m hearing rave reviews about them. My family I think was so-so. I can‘t eat them because I‘m lactose intolerant but I‘m pretty sure I‘d love them back in the day when I could eat dairy 4y

Texreader @Tove_Reads Awesome!! Please share recipes when you find some. I‘ll get them into the Pinterest board 4y

howjessicareads Yummy yummy @Butterfinger!! I‘ve got a Brazilian book checked out... just gotta find the time! 🙈 4y

Texreader @howjessicareads I‘ll probably be reading my last Brazilian book into February. We‘re not strict at all with this challenge and I think it‘ll be fun to enjoy what we‘ve learned throughout the year. 4y

So here‘s dinner tonight: Brazilian baked chicken, cheese bites, and for dessert, Brazilian chocolate truffles and cold chocolate cake with Guarana soda. #foodandlit @Butterfinger @Catsandbooks

Texreader @Catsandbooks I loved it. Daughter thought it was too sweet but I didn‘t get that at all. A very nice mild flavor. 4y

Catsandbooks @Texreader ooo sounds great! I need to try it! 4y

Texreader @Butterfinger No truffles for me and tiny bite of the cake. Lactaid pills don‘t work. You must have intuited how sick I got after trying tiny pieces of the cheese bites from the bakery. I knew the pills didn‘t work for me but I was desperate to try the cheese bites. And I was violently ill shortly thereafter for the rest of the day. 😕 4y

Texreader @valeriegeary @BookishMarginalia The chicken was crazy delicious and super easy to make. Highly recommended 4y

Texreader @Catsandbooks Yea it‘s worth it. Really good 4y

Butterfinger I'm sorry. I was really hoping you could take them. 4y

FelinesAndFelonies @Texreader if those are the cheesy bread bites my husband and I call them "Angel Balls" because we are both convinced they must be a delicacy in heaven. 4y

FelinesAndFelonies @Texreader Pao de Queijo? Maybe? 4y

Texreader @FelinesAndFelonies Yes! That‘s it! 4y

FelinesAndFelonies @Texreader I'm so jealous. Oh man!! 4y

Food haul from the Brazilian bakery today: brigadeiro, cold chocolate cake (wrapped in cloth), pao de queijo (cheese bread), Guarana soda, and coxinha. We also got some strawberry (left) and hibiscus (right) agua fresca at the #Mexico booth nearby.

We‘ve only tried the cheese bread and coxinha so far and they were delicious although I only had tiny bites because of my lactose intolerance. #foodandlit #Brazil @Butterfinger

Moonprismpower Oooh this looks awesome. And cake wrapped in cloth? That‘s cool and fancy. 4y

Susanita I love pão de queijo! 4y

Butterfinger It looks like you had fun with your daughter. I'm so glad. I took Chaya to a Vietnamese restaurant Friday after school. I just knew she would whine, but she treated it like an adventure and we had such a great time. She is 9. We had never eaten Vietnamese. Which is why I thought it would be a hassle. 4y

BarbaraBB That looks yummy! 4y

IndoorDame What a treat! Looks delicious! 4y

TheBookHippie Oh yum. how fun. 4y

Daisey This all looks fantastic. I read a few recipes for coxinha, and although it looks like a decent amount of work, I kind of want to try making it. 4y

Whoohoo! The Brazilian bakery was at the farmers market on this gorgeous Sunday morning! Photo of our food haul to come. I may have gone a little hog wild at the bakery, the produce stall, the goat milk stall, the Agua Fresca stand (#Mexico), and the honey stall. Thanks to #foodandlit I probably never would have tried this bakery. #Brazil @Butterfinger

Nute Wow! What a wonderful morning! I love Farmer‘s Markets. I would have stopped at all of those stalls as well.😊What did they have at the Goat‘s Milk stall in addition to milk? 4y

So I‘ve been walking through grocery stores trying to find food from Brazil and lo and behold, as husband is packing for his camping trip this weekend, he shows me this “yummy meal” he found in our own grocery store and it‘s from Brazil! Ok so I may have to try it. It looks pretty good. #foodandlit #Brazil @Butterfinger

Butterfinger How nice of him to help you find the food. It looks good. 4y

Texreader @Butterfinger 🤣 He was clueless! This is for his camping trip. I tried to steal it from him once I discovered it was from Brazil so he told me which aisle to find it. 4y
