Cooking disaster for sure. Too funny about the air fresheners as well.

I have to say I'm laughing really hard, though I wouldn't find it funny if it happened to me... At least once a week I wish I had a maid here in the States, but I really don't miss the things that come with that convenience! When something was missing, we asked the maid "where did you hide it", because it seemed like that's what she was trying to do. Things were NEVER put back in the same place, and I keep wondering why... But you are lucky you have a nice one, good ones are hard to find!camilahttp://camilah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948677340500742474.post-33074568386967506132009-04-15T14:44:00.000-05:002009-04-15T14:44:00.000-05:00Russell, I wish I had better news for you, but I'v...Russell, I wish I had better news for you, but I've had no luck with finding chili powder here. I've heard they sometimes have "chili em pó" at Verdemar, but I've never seen it. I just bring back tons of it when I go to the US.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624952545651275644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948677340500742474.post-46108035605903944302009-04-15T14:16:00.000-05:002009-04-15T14:16:00.000-05:00Were you able to find chili powder here in BH?

I haven't tried it yet but I'm feeling it isn't the same thing.Russellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948677340500742474.post-62725209071338281322009-04-15T13:29:00.000-05:002009-04-15T13:29:00.000-05:00I can never find anything after someone else clean...I can never find anything after someone else cleans!! I spend half a day putting my kitchen back the way I like it!! At least it is better than Joelma, so in typical non-cofrontational mineiro style, won´t come out and say she does not want to work for me anymore, rather calls and feigns "sick" every Thursday.Corinnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948677340500742474.post-50204631686591414392009-04-15T12:52:00.000-05:002009-04-15T12:52:00.000-05:00That's really cute!

Priceless.<br /><br />Geraldinha (our maid) also has an unnatural fear of the washing machine. It took two years but I finally got her over the fear of the vacuum cleaner thank goodness -- we do have a dog after all. She also loves to rearrange. She lines up all the knicknackey things in a straight line on the sideboard or coffee table like dominos! Then I go and put them at angles, stagger the picture frames, etc. and the next week she does it all over again!<br /><br />But my real question is how my dear are you managing to make apple muffins this far past your due date? Can you even reach the counter??!! :-)lovelydharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512055599650919939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948677340500742474.post-71885042732069262472009-04-15T11:33:00.000-05:002009-04-15T11:33:00.000-05:00Emily,

These are sure minor problems...<br /> We also were very lucky with ours and are still in contact with her today. We visit her and her son everytime we go to Brazil.Ray Adkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956436835497979546noreply@blogger.com
