Patrocinio. I was a little under the weather this evening; the immune system a little worn down due to travel and lack of sleep. Akio recommended four things that I have taken upon myself to dub “Akio’s 4 C’s.” They are Vitamina C, Canja (Chicken Soup), Cachaca, e Cama (Bed). The canja you see below was from Restaurant Jamaica, a well-known restaurant in Patrocinio. The white object in the upper-right corner is an egg. For an extra 10 reais you can get a “Single Origin Canja” with an egg that came from the chicken used to make the broth. (And if you understood that joke, you just might be a coffee geek.)
