    Hi Alan! Love hearing you try to pronounce things in Portuguese.
    In Brazilian Portuguese when saying things with the letter J in them like “Queijo” we pronounce it just like J is said in English with the “ja” sound but maybe with a hint of a Z sound. So the phonetic way to say it would be “Kay-jzo.” Not like in Spanish with the “ya” or “ha” sound. Hope that helps!

    Was the Bloody Mary mix ‘Waggin’ the dog’? It is amazing and I loved it when I lived in Houston! And I know it’s packaged there.
    Or you might be thinking of Uncle Dick’s Top Dog. Also delicious! The Waggin’ was more of a cartoon dog and I think the Uncle’s has a bull dog. But both have more than one level of heat.

    I love Mardi Gras at Universal and can't wait to go this year. One of my favorite theme park memories of all time was watching the parade with my 15-year-old son. As we were getting in place, he was sort of rolling his eyes and thinking it was going to be laaaaaaaaaame. But, yeah, bead catching is a competitive sport, and we had the best time trying to outdo each other. For that half hour, he forgot about being a "cool" teenager and just completely got into the Mardi Gras spirit. (He won by about 10 necklaces, going in for a rematch this year!) Thanks for the great review, and I saw a few food items that I plan to put on my list!

I saw the festival doesn't have the Netherlands represented. carnaval is really big in the southern provinces. They could serve our famous fruit pies, nonnevot (fun fact the direct translation is nun's bum - it's a sweet fried dough shaped in a bow) or Berliner bol, also fried dough but shaped in a ball and in the middle you either have a fruit filling (apricot usually) or a type of vanilla pudding.
