Host a Brazilian night
Two tables: a moqueca lunch, and a pão de queijo morning.
A Brazilian house does not serve fish stew with a platter of coxinhas and cheese bread as one 'Brazilian feast.' Cook the free moqueca with rice. Eat pão de queijo with coffee. Coxinha is a snack night.

Moqueca lunch
Fish stew, rice, pirão. No coxinha. No cheese bread.
Build the stew in clay: onion, pepper, tomato, dendê, coconut, fish. Rice. Stir some broth into manioc flour for pirão.
Salgadinhos are another gathering.
The clock
- Soften the base.
- Fish in, lid on.
