Question by jaxie: Does anyone have any good traditional/popular Bulgarian or Brazilian recipes?
My family has two foreign exchange students staying with us this year, one from Bulgaria and one from Brazil. They are both amazing girls and talk so much about their home foods that i would like to surprise them by making a dish for them from their countries. Can anyone help me?

Bolinhos de Bacalhau (Codfish balls)

A wonderfully tasty appetizer (salgado). Great with a cocktail or glass of cold beer.

1 pound Dried codfish
1 tablespoon Butter
2 teaspoon Chives, chopped
2 teaspoons Parsley, chopped
1/2 cup Onion, diced fine
1 cup Milk
2 cups Potatoes, cooked and mashed
3 tablespoons Flour
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
3 large Eggs, slightly beaten

Soak codfish overnight. Drain, cover with fresh water and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove bones and skin then chop fine.

Heat butter in a saute pan. Add chives, parsley, onion, and fish. When the onion is translucent remove from the heat and add remaining ingredients. Combine well. Check seasonings. Let the mixture cool and firm up for about 10 minutes.

Shape into small balls or cakes. Drop into hot oil, frying until golden. Drain on absorbent paper and serve warm.

Question by LucyWillow0607: What are some good Brazilian recipes?
My grandmother was from Brazil, and my dad remembers her cooking some great food when he was little. But then she divorced and got re-married to an all-American meat and potatoes guy, and never cooked anything ethnic again. Plus, we can’t find any of her recipes written down on paper or in cookbooks.
Does anyone know of a few good recipes that does not require too many ingredients that I probably don’t have in my pantry?? I don’t mind buying a few new things at the food store, but I don’t want this to be too difficult.

15 Aug 2010 Q&A: Where is a good place to meet someone at GRU airport in Sao Paulo?

Question by Jose E: Where is a good place to meet someone at GRU airport in Sao Paulo?
A friend and I are flying into GUARULH Airport from Bogota & NYC within 3 hours of each other (6:20 am and 9:20 am), and I want to wait for him there before heading to the hotel. Where is a good spot to meet..? I’m flying Avianca and he’s flying United Air.

Best answer:

Answer by Wayne Fontes
Both of you are arriving at the same terminal (at least according to Wikipedia), so that makes things a little easier. When you exit out of immigration and customs, there’s a snack bar/cafe in the middle of the arrivals level of the terminal. The seats are not the most comfortable to sit on for three hours while waiting for someone, but it’s a good central location that’s hard for either person to miss. I think it’s right near the question mark on this map from Japan Airlines.
