January 23, 201016 yr Author Overcooked the meat, I WAY overestimated how long that would take. I thought since I didn't brown the meat it would take longer, but it was basically boiling in the cream, I should've realized. Nonetheless, creme de leite is AWESOME! SOOOO much better than sour cream. My sister-in-law says that it's the equivelant of table cream which you can find in the latina section. EXCELLENT The vinaigrette is fantastic, seriously, best thing I've learned in brazil is that the s*** i was used to putting things on was SEVERELY limiting. (best example: mustard) BUt so, i used balsamic since I was w/o white wine vinegar, and it was still awesome. It's essentially pico, no doubt, but without the spice it makes it much more transformative I feel. so yeah. GREAT first try at brazilian stroganoff. Don't think I want nutmeg (don't much care for it.) but definitely missed the garlic.

January 24, 201016 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) I thought since I didn't brown the meat it would take longer... Yeah, browning really only helps bring out the flavor of the meat but the impact on the length of time it takes to cook meat is negligible.

January 25, 201016 yr Author pictures for my fanssss http://bit.ly/7h5Jgh Yeah i looked for mushrooms but all that they had were the jarred champignon s***. I find those absolutely revolting.
January 25, 201016 yr I made potato and garlic herb crusted fish tonight and it turned out quite nice. We ate it before I could take a picture.
January 25, 201016 yr Author Flaxx, what fish? I should take a picture of what fish markets look like here.
January 25, 201016 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 07:38 PM) Flaxx, what fish? I should take a picture of what fish markets look like here. Just farmed tilapia from the grocery store. It was on sale so it won out over the salmon. I'd love to see a Brazilian fish market. The Sydney fish market was one of the most amazing things I ever experienced.
January 25, 201016 yr Author yes, I don't understand why but i just start giggling hysterically at the sight of the fish market. They seem so grotesque. So huge, as well.
