Our friend Ivy is headed to Joao Pessoa, Brazil, to serve a mission!
We will miss Ivy so much, but we are so excited for her. To celebrate her mission, we hosted a Brazilian dinner and party for her friends at Norwich and in the ward.
The kids made these super decorations while I made feijoada, a yummy traditional stew made with meat, meat, meat, meat, meat, and black beans. (Seriously, five different kinds of meat.) I was a little nervous but it turned out great. Everyone loved it. I am going to make this again, next time I feel like I need a protein blast.
Ivy wanted to try making coxhinas, a kind of fried chicken-filled dumpling. These were delicious too. I think I could get used to this kind of food! For dessert, I made cuzcuz branco, basically a tapioca and coconut brownie. We drizzled chocolate over the top. No pictures of that, they disappeared too fast.
The Montpelier YSAs and Sister Missionaries. Love these guys!
