I've posted my Cook The Book recipe: Feijoada

Wow, what a difference! Sounds wonderful and reminds me a little

of Cuban black beans and rice but stepped up. I look forward to making this Sally.

 
Thank you all for this conversation. Loved reading every word and how lucky are we to have

Sally here to share her version of this wonderful dish with us. I feel like I have learned so much from you all!!

 
Our kale is $1/lb.Chuck might be $3.99. Chorizo not $12.

Canadian bacon (I'm sure THAT sent Sally up the wall!!).So now we must await the resident Brazilian to return!! LOL

 
Oh, you are so right!

I stood by my Portuguese MIL's side as she cooked, and wrote the recipe down: one handful of this, three shakes of that, and so on, so I know that it was exactly as she prepared them that day. When my SIL came to live with us for a couple of years, I would make something (we eat a lot of Portuguese food), and she would say, oh, my mother doesn't make like this! Like everyone who moves far away, her recipes have changed, and mine (the far away person) have stayed exactly the same. Mostly.

 
Marilyn, they sell the Gaspar brand chourico and linguica at Publix

in the same case as regular sausages. They are very good, and cost about $5 for a pound. When I run out of the Portuguese stuff (we go down to Ft Lauderdale once a year to fill the car with Portuguese food), that's what I buy.
