Never mind!
Hi Alex and hi my friends.
Oh Alex! I totally agree with you. The readers are very smart people, who are good-natured and there´s no doubt that they have their heads screwed on, and due this my dear teacher, of course, they agree with me! Why not? Otherwise they would have agreed with you, what didn´t happen. Haha, sorry. Only people with such incredible characteristics, and develop taste know that CHEESE WITH FUDGE is something marvellous,is something superb, and moreover, I dare to say that CHEESE WITH FUDGE is a gift from the gods, and just few people who don´t develop their sense ( you Alex, and Antonio are among them), don´t understand the delicious simplicity of this unique dessert, salt and sweet together, Romeo and Juliet as it´s called in Brazil. I really, really feel sorry for you guys. Anyway, life goes on, and if you change your mind, just in case... I´ll be able to do this favour for you, and a lovely Sedex will be arriving at Oxford Street, for you, just for you Alex.
Ok, you got it! Nirvana was one of my favourite bands when I was teen. Who doesn´t it remember of the cute baby swimming after the dollar bill? Hmm? Tell
me. It´s a good album indeed. And I think because this I made this silly mistake. Never mind! I´ll never forget this!
I guess you read my mind! In my way back home after I left my work, I was thinking in talk about music, and then when I opened your blog page there was the title Music! Very nice!
Hey, wait a minute, do you have a band? No way. Do you have something recorded? Can you show us?
When I was teen I tryed to learn how to play guitar, I was keen to learn it in order to play my favourites songs, however, guess what? I only learned one song, which you can imagine how terrible I played, so I gave up to torture my parents with the noise of my guitar, and my dad gave the guitar to my cousin, who plays it beautiful.
I have a very eclectic taste for music. I love MPB, I hear all the gods and godess of our music, however my favourite are Beto Guedes, Djavan, Cazuza, Maria Bêthania, Marisa Monte, Adriana Calcanhoto, etc. Ah! It´s very difficult to find one that I like most, because they are all very good. Now the Brazilian rock bands that I adore are Legião Urbana ( Renato Russo the vocalist was amazing), Paralamas do Sucesso, J Quest and Ira!, however I think you don´t know none of them.
Let´s talk about worldwide known bands and singers. I love it U2, I think they have great songs, especially the old ones. I also like Alanis Morissette ( I used to have a long hair just like her), Phil Collins, Rick Ashtley, Madonna, Loreena Mckennitt, Metalica, Nirvana, and of course The Beetles, they are the best.
And as all Latin American girl I have to confess that when I was 8 years old I found myself totally crazy about five guys from Porto Rico, yes it were them, my Brazilian countrywomen maybe remember them, hmmm girls, I was crazy about Menudo ( the Latin America boyband), and Ricky Martin was my favourite one, I had a T-shirt with his photograph, can you imagine that?!
Ah! Besides that I love Italian music, I gues it´s because when I was a child my mother loved to hear this songs, and when I hear this songs nowadays, it brings me pleasant memories. I like the old Italian songs and I also like to hear Eros Ramazotti and Laura Pausini.
Ok, I think I`m going to stop here. If I put all the bands and singers that I like it in this page, I probably won´t finish to write my blog today, so let´s move on and rearrange the words ( I don´t know if they are right, I felt a little dizzy when I looked at the computer screen).
2- I will be late tomorrow morning, if I stay out tonight;
3- If I ate cheese with fudge, I probably "would not" feel sick;
4- If I had not written this blog today, I would have gone for a walk in the park instead.
I hope you enjoy the concert.
Best wishes,
Ana Paula.

Hi,Ana.Although our answers are not accurately correct,both absolutely will make sense i am sure.I am so impressive about your intelligence. Move on and get over the disagreements about cheese with fudge,however,we all have weird eating habits.About music,i think Latin womensingers are the hottest among their fellows.I love all kind of music styles,and don't give a damn about the categories.Keep our heads screwed on !!!
Hi Ana Paula, You are probably right and I have to admit that I have already tasted salt and sweet together. Maybe fedge does not taste as it looks like to me : “toffee”, does it ? I’ll buy a small bag and taste it. By the description you gave us about the Minas’cheese : “a slice of …” I understand that it is not to be eaten with a spoon. Of course Minas’ cheese tastes as Minas cheese, but do you know which cheese, of the ones we can find in Europe, has a near taste to Minas’ : gouda, emmental, gruyere, ...? If I am able to eat mustard with gouda why not taste “gouda” with fedge ? I see you have a very large range of musical taste or interpreters. I like vocal jazz, blues, country and among others, surprise !!! I like too old Italian songs. Have a nice day.
Ana Paula, your taste in music is varied, just like mine. I wonder if you know a band called Nightwish. It is considered to be responsible for the rise in popularity of the symphonic metal genre. I think the group had several concerts in Brasilia and ex-vocalist Tarja Turunen is maybe married to a Brazilian man. Tarja Turunen was expelled from Nightwish 2005 she is making her own soloist career at the moment. She is a very, very good singer.
Do you like cheese with fudge or cheese with "doce de leite"? I think "doce de leite" ("confiture de lait" in French or "Dulce de leche" in Spanish) is not called Fudge in English. "Doce de leite" is a caramelized milk and sugar concoction, that tastes divine. Unlike fudge or toffee, where the color and flavour come from caramelized sugar, it is the milk proteins which are changed resulting in the smooth, delightful taste and texture of "doce de leite". From the dictionary: Fudge, n. - A kind of soft candy composed of sugar or maple sugar, milk, and BUTTER, and often chocolate or nuts, boiled and stirred to a proper consistency. Have a nice day.
Dear Ana Paula, I enjoy reading your articles very much and I am always impressed how good your English is. How long have you been studying English? Or do you get your inspiration from the Minas with fedge? With rainy greetings from Austria, Andrea
I'm somewhat eclectic too. I like musics from Harmonia do Samba , Ivete Sangalo to Vinicius de Moraes (Bossa Nova). Some australian bands from Men at Work to Midnight Oil. From Queen to Beatles. From gospel musics ( a few of Kleber Lucas or Oficina G 3) to nothinhg gospel musics like "Disperato Erotico" of Lucio Dalla (italian singer). From Elvis Presley to J quest. Elton John, Paralamas do Sucesso, Tim Maia, Adriana Calcanhoto, Marisa Monte, Marina Lima, Kid Abelha, Zelia Dunkan, Cat Stevens, Mariah Carrey, Phil Collins, Tribalhistas, even the old musics of Michael Jackson I like...or New Wave like Enya...or the tenors Placido Domingo, Pavarotti, Carreras..."Diários de Motocicleta" Theme ( Al Otro Lado del Rio)and other movies' theme...oh, I could write hundreds of thousands of singers and bands...I could write a book about this. The name would be: "1000 Musics you Must Listen Before you Die". What do you think?
I'm in hurry,the yellow face is coming. Just a question. What is the meaning of "Minas" in your language? I've seen it many times in The Lord of the Rings" but do't know the meaning. See you later.
