Onion and Bacon Tart & Brigadeiros (Brazilian Truffles)

[Aly]

Dear friends,

Sorry for the long silence on this end.  I've actually posted two recipes since my last email to you all.

Today's recipes are Onion and Bacon Tart and Brigadeiros (Brazilian Truffles).  Please check them both out at http://treataweek.blogspot.com.

An excerpt from the current post:
"As someone who grew up not eating pork for religious reasons, bacon seemed like an easy item to do without.  However, my encounter with fakon (vegetarian bacon) and widespread bacon mania in the United States encouraged me to expand my horizons.  I was so intrigued by this new ingredient that I decided to try it in this onion tart."

An excerpt from my previous post:

"Today I’m featuring my first dish from Brazil, in honor of that nation’s Independence Day... Interestingly, these chocolate truffles have a link to politics. They are named after Eduardo Gomes, a brigadier in the Brazilian air force who twice ran unsuccessful for the presidency of Brazil. Despite his political failure, Gomes was popular enough that this truffle was named after him."

Please 'Like' these recipes on Facebook and help me get the word out.

I may be sunsetting this email list since I do this manually after I post.  Unless you opt out, I will subscribe you to my blog which means that you will get an automatic email with each posting.  That is only 1 or 2 emails a month.  Of course you can unsubscribe at any time.

Feel free to forward this message to anyone you think might be interested and ask them to sign up by submitting their email in the top right corner of the blog.

 

Thanks for reading,
Aly
