O dia está quente, sentimos o sol a queimar a pele e o cheiro a terra seca.
Encostamos as bicicletas juntos a um pequeno portão entreaberto.
Avistamos um senhor a colher alfaces. Perguntamos pelo restaurante.
- Restaurante? Isto não é um restaurante! - responde o senhor e sorri.
Peguem num cesto- continuou- e sirvam-se. Vejam como estão lindas as alfaces.
À esquerda estavam cestos. Pegámos num e percorremos a horta do lado direito. Encantei-me pelas ervilhas de quebrar. Ele, pelas alfaces e rúcula.
Foi então que avistámos uma pequena casinha térrea, com um alpendre.
Seguimos na sua direcção, seduzidos pela sombra.
A porta estava entreaberta.
Alguém caminhou na nossa direcção e sorrindo perguntou:
- Já escolheram o que vão comer?
Olhei estranhamente para aquela pessoa. Disse-lhe que tínhamos acabado de entrar.
-Vejo que estiveram na nossa horta. Vou levar o cesto para a cozinha. Sentem-se à vontade.- respondeu-me.
E assim, deslumbrados com aquela casa acolhedora, com a simplicidade dos recantos começaram a chegar até nós uns petiscos preparados com alguns dos ingredientes colhidos na horta.
O tempo passou sem darmos conta e ficou a vontade de voltar.
E com este post participo em mais uma edição do Convidei para Jantar, desafio lançado pela Anasbageri, este mês em casa da A minha cozinha é a cores.

We traveled along large fields.
It's a hot day, feeling the sun burning our skin and feeling the smell of dry land.
Pulled over the bicycles together to a small gate.
We saw a man harvesting lettuce. We asked about the restaurant.
- Restaurant? This is not a restaurant! - Answer the man.
Grab a basket and take some vegetables. Look how beautiful are the lettuces.

On the left there are baskets. We grabbed a garden and traveled to the right side. I was enchanted by the snap peas. He takes the lettuce and arugula.
Then we saw a small one-story house with a porch.
Follow in his direction, swayed by the shadow.
The door was open.
Someone walked towards us and smiling asked:
- Do you chose what to eat?
I looked strangely for that person. I told her that we had just arrived.
I see you have been in our garden. I'll take the basket to the kitchen. Take a sit. - Answer the girl.

And so dazzled with that cozy home, with the simplicity of the corners she started coming us with some snacks prepared with ingredients harvested in the garden.
And the time passed and I got the desire to return.
