"Because of you"

When unable to communicate in substantive conversation with her Castelo hosts, Maddy frequently took requests to sing various American songs, whose meanings were already known to the audiences (apparently you don't have to be any good to be dubbed in Portuguese). One of the most frequent requests: Kelly Clarkson's ever popular "Because of you." At the 27th birthday party of Cris, Maddy and Jeremy's cast-n-reel move on the dance floor won more laughter than applause, but no one was laughing at our stellar work as gauchos on the BBQ. A note on how to create a slow burning blaze to roast your pig's head the Brazilian way: 1) Take 1-2 rolls of unused toilet paper. 2) Douse them in cooking oil. Light. 3) Add small flammable things. 4) Add charcoal gradually over the course of an hour. For best results, fire-tenders should drink several cold beers whiling completing step 4.
