    Hi Little Ferraro Kitchen Readers!  I'm Karla from Foodologie.
    While Samantha is out being awesome and graduating, I'm here to say hi and tell you about a tasty Brazilian treat that will rock your socks.

    Now, I should probably start by saying I'm not Brazilian.  I'm American of Guatemalan parents who love to travel.  I was luckily enough to have parents who took me everywhere they went.  Our first major trip was to Brazil.  I was 14 years old, and it was awesome.  My love of travel and foreign things grew from there.
    That first trip to Brazil really stuck with me.  In college, I took Portuguese, studied abroad in Portugal (not directly relevant, but language, you see) and made sure any paper I ever wrote had Brazil as a case study.   Later, I started getting really into baking and cooking.  That fascination with different cultures began to translate to food.
    On my blog, you'll see a lot of recipes from a variety of different origins: from my own Guatemalan family, such as Pepian, Rellenitos and Black Beans to Pasta alla Puttanesca from the time I spent 6 months in Italy to Pão de Mel (Brazilian Honey Cake) that I learned from my Portuguese teacher.

    So let's keep up my Brazilian fascination with these goodies.
