Isn’t he cute?
I was astonished! I know Chow-Chows, in fact we have one at the shop, Luana
But i had never seen a panda Chow-Chow!!
The Chengdu dog was dyed black and white and looks like a panda. The dog owner has been reportedly detained 36 times to date on suspicion that he kept a panda illegally.

Ok here we go! Even if i’m the only one doing this, lol.
It starts on December 1. We decorate our Christmas tree and the house.
On the 24th it’s the best day.In the old days women would spend the day in the kitchen cooking and baking , i really miss that!
Father Christmas is believed to bring presents to children on Christmas Eve, rather than Christmas Day. The presents are left under the Christmas tree or in shoes by the fireplace.
Like in Spain, the traditional Christmas meal in Portugal is eaten during the evening of Christmas Eve and consists of codfish with portuguese cabbage, garlic and lots of olive oil and vinagre and boiled potatoes. This is normally followed by shellfish, wild meats or other expensive foods.
After the meal, people go to church for the ‘Missa do Galo’ or ‘Mass of the Rooster’ service. After the service people return home, and open their presents.
Every house has a rich table set in the living room full with traditional food, cakes, fried cookies, nuts and other goodies! The traditional Christmas cake is ‘Bolo Rei’ (which means ‘King Cake’) and is placed in the center of the table. People drink porto wine, traditional liquors and eat ‘azevias’ and ‘felhozes’ “rabanadas,” (a white bread that has been soaked in eggs and wine and then dipped in sugar. It’s fried until it takes on a candylike crust).
The party lasts until the early hours of the morning
On Christmas Day the living room table remains untouched and people still enjoy their goodies together! Families come together and have Christmas Day lunch together.In Lisbon it’s usually turkey.
At night on Christmas Day, we eat the leftover codfish with potatoes and olive oil all fried together – it’s called meia-desfeida. And that’s good.
In the north of Portugal, instead of codfish they eat octopus, and they have traditional cakes in every different part of Portugal. But in my area we have codfish!
Another traditional sweets are Filhoses, Sonhos (dreams) that consist in different kinds of fried dought, some of them filled with sweet potato or sweet chickpea home made filling, and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon.
Azevias ( hum this is sooooooooo good)
Bolo Rei(Bolo-Rei , or King Cake, is a Portuguese seasonal specialty. The traditional Christmas bread of the nation, Bolo-Rei is a fruitcake shaped in a ring to symbolize the crowns of the Magi. In the cake there are two surprises: one is a little present like a fake ring, or a little doll, or a medal. The other is not as welcomed. There is a raw broad bean. Whoever finds the charm must buy next year’s Bolo-Rei and share it with all those present when the original charm was discovered. )
Codfish (Even though it is said in Portugal that there are 365 recipes for cod (one for each day of the year), for Christmas Eve the tradition is to serve simple boiled cod. From the northern part of the country to the south, even among non-Catholic families, you will find cod accompanied by potatoes and cabbage and sometimes chickpeas.)
I hope this wasn’t to boring!
I’m sorry if this is posted in Portuguese.
Um dos membros do forum MundoMarillier a que pertenço sofre de leucemia, é uma garota de 16 anos e a doença foi-lhe diagnosticada em Setembro passado.
Apesar do optimismo inicial, parece que os tratamentos não estão a resultar como previsto e vai precisar de um transplante de medula. Neste momento está à procura de um dador, já que não tem familiares compatÃveis.
Caso alguém esteja interessado em ajudar, eis alguma informação recolhida pela algelic sobre o que é preciso fazer para doar medula:
“Sabias que…
– Encontrar um dador de medula óssea é muito difÃcil, visto sermos geneticamente muito diferentes?
– Apenas 25% dos doentes tem um dador familiar compatÃvel, portanto qualquer um de NÓS pode responder à s 75% de hipóteses de cura de um doente?
– Para muitos doentes o transplante de medula óssea é a única esperança de vida?
Ao contrário do que possas pensar, fazer a inscrição como dador é extremamente simples e só serás chamado se encontrarem alguém compatÃvel contigo… e isso pode demorar anos ou nunca acontecer. Para te tornares dador só tens de preencher um questionário e é-te retirada uma pequena quantidade de sangue para testar.
Para ser dador basta:
– Ter entre 18 e 25 anos
– Ser saudável
– Ter peso mÃnimo de 50kg
– Nunca ter recebido uma transfusão de sangue
– Após manifestar intenção de ser dador deverá preencher um pequeno questionário clÃnico que será avaliado por um médico
Caso não haja nenhuma contra-indicação vai ser chamado para fazer alguns testes. Se tudo estiver em ordem os seus dados serão guardados numa base informática nacional e internacional. O anonimato é, contudo, rigorosamente mantido.
Se for identificado como possÃvel dador será contactado e serão feitos mais testes de compatibilidade. Se estes indicarem que há uma perfeita semelhança, prossegue-se para a colheita de medula óssea.
Existem dois processos de colheita:
– Através de células progenitoras do sangue periférico: o sangue vindo da veia do dador circula através de um aparelho chamado separador celular que remove apenas as células necessárias para o transplante, devolvendo as restantes ao dador
– Colheita a partir da medula óssea: células progenitoras colhidas no interior dos ossos pélvicos, requer anestesia e uma breve hospitalização
O dador poderá sempre optar pela forma da colheita e a cada etapa deste processo ser-lhe-á dada informação sobre o que se vai passar e tem sempre a oportunidade a qualquer momento de continuar ou desistir.
Caso queira ser dador, poderá fazê-lo nos seguintes locais:
– Centros de Histocompatibilidade e Serviços de Sangue dos Hospitais: D. Estefânia, Amadora-Sintra, Barreiro, Torres Novas, Abrantes, Tomar, Beja, Elvas, Évora, Faro, Portimão, Portalegre, Litoral Alentejano, Vila Franca de Xira, Funchal, Ponta Delgada e Horta. Centros de Saúde: Mafra, Coruche, Vila do Porto, Sta Cruz das Flores, Madalena, Velas, Sta Cruz da Graciosa, Calheta e Ribeira Grande
Um pequeno gesto pode salvar a vida de alguém!”
