Hello beautiful people! (Texto em PortuguĂȘs abaixo)

First of all I want to say 2 things:

1) thank you

Thank you for all the love I received these past few days although I understand many of you are sad with the recently news.

2) I’m not moving!

This past Monday we announced the closure of after an almost 5 year run. Thank you for the love throughout the years and now during this transition!

My son brought to my attention that the original post tried to communicate that I had plans of moving or that I had left Pittsburgh. That was not the intention. Sometimes bilingual brains don’t translate things very well 😬 plus all the anxiety to share such big news were the reason behind the confusion.

On this note, I’d like to say that I’m not leaving Pittsburgh. Just ending the activities at Casa after a challenging and beautiful journey, but it’s time for me to rest a little.

My cooking journey started about 4 years before Casa and this mamma is tired after almost 10 years nonstop. I’m very thankful for the experience and for having the opportunity to show Pittsburgh a different look into Brazilian food and share a little bit of my culture since I started my journey selling lunches to my co-workers back in the downtown corporate world. Later my work evolved to private dinners, catering and pop-up events and eventually Casa Brasil.

Thankful for for joining me in this ride, all of our staff that supported us throughout the years, our investors, community partners and family and friends and for the chance to cook for yinz. I don’t have a clue of how many gallons of Moqueca, feijoada or chicken stroganoff was made in this period, but I know for sure that I’ve given my best and put lots of love on each dish we prepared. So, for now I take a break, but not retiring from cooking. A couple of years ago I opened which is another way to represent here and that’s where my focus will be. Once again thank you and see you around!
Much loveđŸ€Ž

Gente bonita, bora lĂĄ esclarecer algumas coisinhas.

Quero dizer duas coisinhas:
1) Muito obrigada!

Muito obrigada pelo carinho que recebi nos Ășltimos dias ao anunciar o fechamento da Casa Brasil, apesar de saber que muitos ficaram tristes com a notĂ­cia.

2) Eu não estou de mudança!

Na Ășltima segunda-feira anunciamos o fechamento da apĂłs quase 5 anos de funcionamento. Obrigado por todo carinho ao longo dos anos e agora durante este perĂ­odo de transição!

Depois do post publicado, o Amyr (meu filho) chamou minha atenção para o fato de que a postagem original parecia que eu tinha planos de me mudar ou que havia saĂ­do de Pittsburgh. Essa nĂŁo era a intenção. Às vezes, cĂ©rebros bilĂ­ngues nĂŁo traduzem muito bem as coisas 😬 e junto com toda a ansiedade de compartilhar uma noticia tĂŁo importante acabou ficando confuso.

Então estou aqui para esclarecer que não estou deixando Pittsburgh. As atividades da Casa Brasil se encerram depois de uma jornada desafiadora e também muito bonita, mas é hora de descansar um pouco.

Minha jornada culinĂĄria começou cerca de 4 anos antes da Casa Brasil e esse corpitcho estĂĄ cansada depois de quase 10 anos sem parar. Sou muito grata pela experiĂȘncia e por ter a oportunidade de mostrar a Pittsburgh um olhar diferente sobre a nossa comida brasileira. E tambĂ©m por compartilhar um pouco da minha cultura desde da Ă©poca que vendia marmitas meus colegas de trabalho no mundo corporativo do centro da cidade e mais tarde o meu trabalho evoluiu para jantares privados, catering e eventos pop-up e eventualmente Casa Brasil.

Grata pela parceria com por se juntar a mim neste capĂ­tulo. GratidĂŁo Ă  todos os nossos funcionĂĄrios que nos apoiaram ao longo desses anos, nossos investidores, parceiros comunitĂĄrios, familiares e amigos e pela chance de cozinhar para vocĂȘs.
Não faço ideia de quantos litros de moqueca, feijoada ou strogonoff de frango foram feitos nesse período, mas tenho certeza que dei o meu melhor e coloquei muito amor em cada prato que preparamos.

Quero deixar bem claro que vou desacelerar por um pouco, mas nĂŁo estou me aposentando da cozinha.. HĂĄ quase 2 anos abri a que Ă© mais uma forma de representar a aqui e na gringa Ă© aĂ­ que vai estar o meu foco. Mais uma vez obrigado e nos vemos por aĂ­ 😉😘

Today, I took a quick trip to Clarion to visit and say hello to some old friends. A day off after a busy weekend and a beautiful fall day asked for a little road trip.

Cheers to the special people that cross our paths and open little or sometimes big doors. This is George Shirey, owner of Shirey True Value Hardware in Clarion for over 50years and my first boss in the US between 2007 and 2012.

A fun fact about the week he offered me a job I had just received my work permit and was eager to start working after a whole year waiting for immigration processing and it meant the world to me.

The beginning of a new life chapter in foreign lands is not an easy task, ask any new immigrant. Language barriers, professional and cultural adjustments, you name it. So, this was special to look back at this chapter of my journey since I arrived in this country 16 years ago! đŸ€

..

Hoje, fiz um passeio rĂĄpido para aproveitar a folga depois de um findi de muito trabalho! Fui visitar Clarion, onde morei por 6 anos antes de me mudar para Pittsburgh. O dia estava lindo e perfeito pra pegar a estrada.

Um salve para as pessoas queridas que cruzam nossos caminhos abrindo pequenas ou grandes portas. Esse senhorzinho Ă© o George (os amigos da antiga jĂĄ ouviram falar dele). Ele foi meu primeiro chefe aqui nos EUA lĂĄ em meados de 2007.

Quando ele me ofereceu a vaga de emprego eu havia acabado de receber a minha permissĂŁo para trabalhar e foi um momento muito especial pra mim.
Começar a vida em terras estrangeiras não é fåcil, pergunte para qualquer imigrante recém chegado. Barreira da língua, profissionais, culturais entre outros.
EntĂŁo hoje foi especial olhar para esse capĂ­tulo da minha vida nesses 16 anos vivendo na gringa. O tempo voa! đŸ€
