This was a very special session. It was our first supper club out in the air.
This time the location was the terrace in the Pensão Rosinha, the one that is located in Praça das Flores. We were a bit concerned because the temperature on the week before reached 40ºc in Lisbon, and the terrace can be really hard to stand with that kind of heat. So we came up with all sort of ways to refresh the supper club, we even got an outdoor shower... just in case. But we were so lucky that the sunday of the supper club turned out to have really nice weather, not hot, not cold, enough clouds to protect us from what would have been really hot otherwise.
Mariana Cardoso was in charge of the grill, and demoed some cool grilling techniques. Paulo and Camila did a great work arranging everything to receive our guests. We had refreshing drinks, nice music, and a really nice Lisbon sunday mood. So we all sat and ate and talked for five hours, time just flew I guess... once more we stated that when people get together around a table with good food, great moments happen.
