A little about @thatshowiroll:
I’m a Portuguese living in Florida with my American husband and little daughter. Although I’m a very private person, I love to communicate with others. I started this blog to share my thoughts and experiences in this “New World”. Through the sections Life and Nature, you’ll look into my background existence, my memoirs, my travelings and my ventures. In a word, my look into the world, my world.
My educational specialties are related to Communication Sciences, Media Studies, Museology and Museography. I worked as a journalist, media producer assistant, art gallery director and international relations. I’m familiar with five languages, being Portuguese (of course) my native one.
The Food section is where I share my recipes. Here you’ll find the influence of the obvious Portuguese cuisine and my own experiments, as well as adaptations from delicious recipes from other identified foodies/chefs/cookers. At the end, cooking is an art in a constant recreation.
I’m a vegetarian and occasionally fish eater. All my family meals are cooked from scratch. I privileged vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains and nuts. I try to eat organic as much as possible and I choose all ingredients carefully. You won’t find me cooking fast-food kind of meals, meaning I won’t be using crappy ingredients full of unidentified processed weirdness. I always read the labels, but normally I don’t buy much processed food.
I like sweets, especially involving chocolate. But be aware that you won’t see a recipe here built from a box. Somethings I take it for granted and I can’t consider it other way, like whipping cream means always heavy cream whipped at home and I don’t even know what shortening is. I live happy with that.
I’m a conscious eater and that reflects my background: my mother always cooks fresh meals from scratch, almost everyday she goes to the market to get some fresh produce or ingredient to cook with. I grew up having regular meals, namely breakfast, an occasional mid morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. Both lunch and dinner always started with a fresh vegetable soup and then the main course. I don’t know how she is able to make different kind of meals every single day and sometimes with distinct options for each person, but I’m extremely grateful. And I learned from her, even if sometimes I don’t feel like cooking I know I have that legacy. Now, having my own family, I try to keep those healthy habits for the well-being of all of us.
This is my blog, my vision, my sharing stories. I hope you enjoy visiting, commenting and being part of my little corner of the Internet.

Why Delicious Wordflux?
Wordflux is a whirlwind of verbal and visual communication, a place where the signifier (form of the word) and the signified (mental concept) encounter a new meaning. A look into life, nature and the semiotics of food as cultural dish.
Word – millions of ways to express thoughts, units of various languages, verbalize concepts, share facts, whisper ideas.
Flux – Latin for flow, moving in a continuous and smooth way.
Wordflux – a stream of successive ideas, the flow of thoughts, abundantly progressing freely, moving along constantly or in frequent change.
Delicious Words in motion.
Flowing with the wind…

Hi, your website is absolutely stunning! What are the other three languages you speak (beside Portuguese and English)? Also – very inspired website title.
Thank you Anda! The other languages are Spanish, French and Italian.
Olá,
Muitos Parabéns, tens um blog com fotografias lindissimas, que dá vontade de comer directamente do ecra. Devo dizer que tens muitas receitas de inspiração tradicional portuguesa, que são fantasticas. Acho que continuas com as tuas raizes portuguesas muito presentes no teu dia a dia, ainda bem. É bonito de se ver alguem que se encontra tão longe (fisicamente) do nosso país mas ao mesmo tempo tão perto dele no coração.
Beijos,
Obrigada Alexandra! E tudo verdade, as raizes sao boas e recomendam-se e eu sou uma patriota incuravel. O nosso pais tem tantas qualidades fantasticas e unicas e sao essas que eu tento mostrar atraves da comida, da influencia que Portugal teve no mundo inteiro e atraves das minhas estorias pessoais. E bom saber que tambem sou lida desse lado. :)
Teresa, adoro este blog!! Vai passar a estar nas consultas diárias!! Beijos grandes
Aww, obrigada Dora! :)
