My mom's people immigrated from the Portuguese peninsula to Italy and then, many years later, to the USA. Her cooking was a combination of Jewish, Portuguese, and Italian - fantastically delicious.
If you could only travel one more place in the world, where would you go?

I'm 80 now, I just don't think I have too many trips left......and age related medical insurance is getting more expensive.

Got it. I'm *only* 67 and already I don't even want to take a trip to the grocery store.

OMG, she made this dish she called Portuguese Chicken and she served it on a bed of rice, and it was kind of like fricassee and kind of like Kabsa (but without the pine nuts), and totally like heaven.

Yummy......we had the greatest ā¬1 Caldo-verde at a stand up bakery/deli/cafe in Porto a few years back........we're not 'foodies' but this was superb.

I used to take my kids there a lot when they were little. Usually we camped for overnight, sometimes for a few days.
If it still looks like that, Awesome!

When me and my brothers got those thermoses for soup and stew, we got to take mom's caldo-verde in our school lunches. And she'd make this really thin sort of oily bread that had bits of green olives in it that went perfectly with the soup.

PS, any kid who laughed at my lunch got a knuckle sandwich for theirs. Two guys took me up on that offer. It should have only taken one, but I guess we had some slow-learners at that school.

I'd love to visit the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. Won't happen though.

Don't lose hope. I predict a huge change within 2 years.
Been there.... and the water is bl**dy freezing.

We travel a lot and there is still a lot more to see. Difficult to choose one place but we both would like to visit āNoahās ark of plant diversity,ā better known as Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway. We have visited Norway, but the vault is not open to tourists
one day who knows, we may get the opportunity to visit.

I'm from California and have never seen Lake Tahoe or Yosemite. I think I'd choose Lake Tahoe. Yosemite can be very crowded I understand.

Remy, Tahoe is probably one of the most terrific places I'd ever been to in California. When I lived there, all I saw was the glitzy side since I live among the icons of the entertainment industry. While I did some traveling then, it was mostly southward.
You'll love Tahoe, I am sure.
