Sorvete de Creme de Café, Séc. XIX, Brasil (Coffee Ice Cream, 19th Century, Brazil).

Batem-se oito gemas d/ovos com doze onças de assucar, e ajunta-se uma garrafa de leite fervido com uma quarta de café torrado e coado ; mistura-se bem, dá-se uma fervura, e gela-se.

Eu usei cerca de metade destes ingredientes: 4 gemas, 1 chávena de açúcar, 370 ml de leite e um quarto de chávena de café (descafeinado). Supostamente "uma quarta" de café significa cerca de 3,4 litros, mas mesmo 1,7 litros de café pareceu-me demasiado, pelo que usei apenas um quarto de chávena. Na próxima vez, provavelmente usarei ainda menos, porque mesmo assim ficou com um sabor forte.

Beat eight egg yolks with twelve ounces of sugar, add a bottle of boiled milk with a fourth of roasted and strained coffee; mix well, bring to a boil, and freeze.

I used about half of these ingredients: 4 egg yolks, 1 cup of sugar, 370 ml of milk and a quarter of a cup of coffee (decaffeinated). Supposedly "a fourth" of coffee means about 3.4 liters, but even 1.7 liters of coffee seemed too much, so I just used a quarter of a cup, next time I would probably use even less, as the flavour turned out quite strong,

The Table of Catarina of Austria, Queen of Portugal (16th century).

On the 14th of January, 1507, was born in Torquemada, Catarina of Austria. She was the daughter of Queen Joana of Castile,"the mad" and the Archduke of Austria and Duke of Burgundy, Philip, "the handsome", who died before she was born. She was named in honor of her maternal aunt, Katherine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII of England. She remained with her mentally unstable mother, imprisoned at Tordesillas castle, until she was about to marry.

In 1525, Catarina married her cousin, King João III of Portugal. Even though it was an arranged marriage, Catarina and João truly loved each other and spend together as
