The Brazilian Feast last night was a success, I’m happy to report, even if an exhausting success. About 35 people came, all told, to feast on feijoada, farofa, palmito, maracuja and other tasty Brazilian foods. We are deeply grateful for the generosity of everyone who came.

We had a great time cooking and serving Brazilian food, and sharing a bit of our lives in Brazil–and apparently most everyone who came enjoyed themselves, too. Hopefully we’ll put some pictures up in a day or two.

Things are coming together pretty well for our Brazilian Feast this Friday. This weekend we put together the video, hashed out the menu and the rest of the entertainment, and we’ve gotten a good chunk of RSVPs–but we want more! if you’re in the Seattle area, you should definitely come–this Friday at 7 PM. If you’re not anywhere near Seattle, you probably know someone who is. RSVP to tim /at/ timothygoddard.com or in the comments here.

The Feast will be at Haller Lake Baptist Church, which is located pretty conveniently, just off of both 99 and I-5 in North Seattle. Click ‘read the rest’ for a map. Hope to see you there!

We’re having a great time in the US so far. We went camping last week, and today we had the opportunity to share our experiences with the folks at Haller Lake Baptist Church.

We’d like to have the chance to share our experiences–and some fabulous Brazilian food–with everyone else, too. So, we’re having a Brazilian Feast in a couple weeks. It will be at at Haller Lake Baptist Church at 14054 Wallingford Avenue N in Seattle—Google Map available here—at 7 PM on July 25. If you’re in the Seattle area, we would really love to have you come, and feel free to bring a friend or two. One of the purposes of this dinner is to help raise money for our plane tickets back to Brazil, so we’re suggesting donations of $8 per person and $5 per child under 12, up to $25 per family. Did I mention that Brazilian food is fantastic? Because it is.

If you’d like to come, please drop me an RSVP at tim /at/ timothygoddard.com so we have some idea of how much food to bring. Hope to see you there!
