Count down to kick-off...

As most of you will probably know, either by choice or otherwise, a certain football event is about to begin. 

That's right, just one week to go until the World Cup! 

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not an avid footy fan or anything, but I do actually quite enjoy the World Cup. I get all supportive of the lesser teams and enjoy a good cheer and shout when England score. I went South Africa crazy last time round and am taking a fully Brazilian approach this time. We're kicking off ( get it...?) with a BBQ next Thursday to celebrate the opening ceremony and first game. We're going Brazilian with a churrascaria (BBQ), caipirinhas (rum cocktails), salgadinhas (tapas) , empanadas (mini pasties) and Brahma (beer). Obviously the house will be donned in obligatory green and yellow, the lads in their footy shirts and the girls in their denim cut-offs and vest tops. Hopefully with the help of some strategically placed scented candles and fruit coolers aplenty we'll achieve a totally tropical vibe! I'm thinking pineapple and coconut, watermelon and basil and zesty lemon-lime, yummy! 

This is definitely how the World Cup should be enjoyed. How will you be celebrating/avoiding the football for the next month?
