arepas Encinalianas
1 cup arepa flour (precooked cornmeal)
1 cup crumbled ricotta salata or grated mozzarella
(1/4 pound)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Toss together arepa flour, cheese, and 1/8 teaspoon
salt in a bowl, then stir in water until
incorporated. Let stand until enough water is
absorbed for a soft dough to form, 1 to 2 minutes
(dough will continue to stiffen).
Form 3 level tablespoons dough into 1 ball and
flatten between your palms, gently pressing to form
a 1/4-inch-thick patty (2 1/2 to 2 3/4 inches
wide), then gently press around side to eliminate
cracks. Transfer to a wax-paper-lined surface. Form
more disks with remaining dough in same manner,
transferring to wax-paper-lined surface.
Heat oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet
over medium heat until it shimmers, then fry arepas
in 2 batches, turning over once, until deep golden
in patches, 8 to 10 minutes total per batch. Drain
on paper towels.

Páteo do Colégio
In 1554, after an expedition, priest Anchieta
decided to build a place to accommodate Brazilian
native indians and to be used as a school to teach
religious subjects to them. That was how the city
of São Paulo was founded. Today, the place is home
to Museu de Anchieta (Anchieta Museum).
Municipal Theatre of Sao Paulo
The building now houses the São Paulo Municipal
Symphonic Orchestra, the Coral Lírico (Lyric Choir)
and the City Ballet of São Paulo. Between 1912 and
1926, the theatre presented 88 operas of 41
composers (Italian, French, Brazilian and German),
in 270 performances. But perhaps the most important
event in the history of the theatre in that period
and in all of its existence was not an opera, but
something that would infuriate many paulistanos at
the time: the Week of Modern Art in 1922.

"To
the Glory of God, and in grateful commemoration of
His servants, Thomas
Cranmer,
Nicholas Ridley, Hugh
Latimer, Prelates of the
Church
of England, who near this spot yielded
their bodies to be burned, bearing witness to the
sacred truths which they had affirmed and
maintained against the errors of the
Church of Rome, and rejoicing that to them
it was given not only to believe in Christ, but
also to suffer for His sake; this monument was
erected by public subscription in the year of our
Lord God, MDCCCXLI".
