Special meals for holydays and celebrations

Shrove tuesday, the day before ash wednesday, the event, also known as (?), carnival and (?), is calebrated across the world with great feasting. Well brasilian's samba in the streets of Rio, and New Orlands through its most famous party of the year, the english celebrate with pancake day. Since long it is a time of abstinence traditionaly of meat, fat, eggs and dairy products, shrove tuesday manu was designed to use up all the fat, eggs and dairy products left in the kichen. On this day families get for sweet and savory pancakes (?) and housewives still compete in a peculiar traditional tossing and flipping their pancakes three times in to the air. Many christian churches offer pancakes suppers as a social function for their congregations.
Almost every country has at least one special food that is eaten on new years eve or in the first day of the new year that is believe to bring lucky, wealth or success. In the United States there is a sane that it takes eating habits in the new years celebrations. Eat poor on new years, eat fat in the rest of the year. A traditional new years meal includes ham, corn bread, black eyed peas and collard greens, but black eyed peas and collard greens are considered the specially lucky additions to the dinner table. Black eyed peas are thought to bring wealth because they look like little coins, in addition to the fact that they swells when cooked, a sure signal of prosperity. Collard greens are considered lucky because they are green, like money.
When we think of a traditional thanks giving meal the first thing that comes to our mind is a delicious roasted turkey, of course there isn't anything more tipical than to have turkey on thanks giving, but what goes with it? Besides the stuff in, which can be prepared in many different ways, we can't forget the grave and the chreamberry sauce. The vegetables served are often those harvest from the garden in tha fall, such as (?), carrots and potatos. For dessert, how about the delicious pumpkin pie?

Até outro dia!

Oi de novo pessoal!

What about some history?

Jeans were first weared by mynors and farmeres in California. Well living in France, a German named Levy Strows (?) a very resiliant fiber and emediatly tought that it would be very usefull for mynors and farmeres in the United States. He bought a large amount of the fiber and went to Jenoa, in Italy where he found people who over (?). Strwas, than came to America, he used call jeans material, material from jeans, the franch name from Jenoa and than jean material, it has been a big sucsses since than.
In the 70'centure Europe was devastated by the 30'year's war, this war was causes by religios differences and had put catolics against the protestance on the baterfield. The France had a group of Croation's sodiers helping them, they were all mercenaries. This mercenaries weared a kind of handkerchief around the neek similar to our ties nowadays. The France aristacracy loved it and adopted the new fashion that was later taken to England and soon spread all over Europe. The 80'hundred's can be considered the golden age of the tie because it became an essecial peace of a man's clothing. It was also in the 90'centure that a new tipe of tie was put on the market, the boll tie.
Weman don't think twice before taking a pair of pants today, but it hasn't always been like that. Before the 96's it was in a entirely different matter. In the 1920's a fasion designer named Coco Chanel pioneered pants for weman. They were (?) like byfocated skirts and should only be waer on very casual ocasions. In the 1950's weman weared casual pants or overalls but they would change into dresses or skirts if they had to go out.
Authough it was a famous designer Mary kuant the women who created the mini skirt, who designed the first pants for weman to be wearned streatwear, it was the franch designer Corrage who received much of the credit because at that time he was for more famous tham mary kuant. One interesting fact is that in the 1960's many restaurants refuse to addimit weman wearing pants but very shot mini skirts were acceptable.

Bye, bye.
