Happy Thursday! Our company is celebrating Brazilian Carnaval. We did a mask-decorating activity and ordered breakfast from Brazilliant Café & Catering in Seymour. I placed our food order online for pickup at 8:30 am.

I chose the traditional Brazilian breakfast pão de queijo with ham and cheese for myself, and for sharing, we got bolinho de bacalhau (Codfish Croquettes). To end our breakfast on a sweet note, I got a box of brigadeiros – coconut, dulce de leche, coffee, and chocolate.

The pão de queijo was still warm, with a soft, chewy interior and a cheesy exterior. I enjoyed it, but it’s definitely a food coma-inducing breakfast. I can't believe how sleepy I felt afterward! One of my colleagues even got a second cup of coffee and took a walk outside to stay awake.

The bolinho de bacalhau is my favorite! I grew up in the Philippines and love fish. Of course, if we had an air fryer, having this piping hot and crispy would be magnificent.

I do find the brigadeiros a bit too sweet, but they're oh-so-perfect with a cup of tea.
I love company events because of the different foods I get to try!
