Luiz's birthday is May 16th and mine is May 17th. Always a good excuse for a big party. This year was no exception.
We are part of a super-nice group of friends that extends out in several directions. We called them all together for the party. Lot's of folks could not make it, but we had a good 30 people or so.
Hawaiian theme, Brazilian BBQ. I'm not kidding when I tell you that guests started arriving at 11:30 a.m. and we kissed the cheeks of our last guests goodbye after 2:00 a.m. While the grill got off to a late start (our hired churrasceiro/BBQ guy was a no-show) we finally put meat on the grill at about 1:30 p.m. and the guys present took shifts at the BBQ until well after midnight; chicken, sausage, pork, liver, chicken hearts, chunks of beef I have no idea what they were, and even some Southern-style ribs. And the beer... LOL! The Brazilians reading may not be suprised, but the rest of you should sit down. We drank 192 ice-cold 600 ml bottles of beer. That would be just over 243 pints of beer. (And no - the kids present were not drinking beer.) Plus a couple liters of cachaça made into crowd-pleasing caipirinhas.
Man - what a marathon celebration. Good people. Good times. Terrific.
