Como devem ter reparado, andamos meio fugidos. Nesta altura de pré-férias o tempo desaparece num buraco negro e para além do trabalho pouco conseguimos adiantar. Mas não queriamos partir (naquela estrada!!!) sem vos deixar uma sugestão perfeita para estes dias de calor abrasador. E que sugestão!!!! Inspirados pela talentosa dupla Green Kitchen Stories, deixamo-nos levar por uma das suas mais recentes criações até chegarmos a esta mousse densa e repleta de sabor. Ah, claro, e repleta de coisas boas! :)

As you probably might have noticed, we have been quite silent. During this pre-holiday weeks time seems to simply disappear into a black hole and we accomplish very little apart from our jobs. But we didn't want to leave for our two-week holiday break without sharing with you something perfect for these scorching days. And what a treat we have here!!!! Inspired by the super talented couple of Green Kitchen Stories, we got carried away by one of their latest creations and we achieved this dense mousse with plenty flavour. Ah, and packed with good stuff! :)
