Thaw the cod for a few hours and place it in an ovenproof dish.
Wash the unpeeled potatoes well and cut them in halves or quarters. You can peel and slice them, if you prefer. Then place them around the cod. Next peel and slice the garlic cloves finely and spread over the cod. Finally, pour the olive oil over the cod and potatoes. Be generous!
Place in a 210 oven for 30-40 minutes (until everything is light brown). Halfway through the baking process open the oven and pour hot olive oil olive oil over the cod and potatoes with a spoon.
"Bacalhau assado" deserves a bottle of good red or white wine
I prefer red. And the more... the better!!!
Here's to your health! :-)
Dear BaWers
I'd like to share with you my recipe for "arroz doce"
Fernanda (Portugal)
Rice Pudding (Arroz Doce)
Ingredients:
One cup of rice, water, 1 thin slice of lemon peel, lemon zest, 1 small pinch of salt, 1 liter of fresh pasteurized milk, 1 can of condensed milk, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 egg yolks, cinnamon powder.
Preparation:
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil (4 times the volume of rice). Add the rice, a pinch of salt, a thin slice of lemon peel, lemon zest (the rest of the lemon), the cinnamon stick, and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is well cooked. Add boiling milk. After 5 minutes of boiling add the condensed milk. The final texture should be creamy.
Remove from heat, withdraw the cinnamon stick and the slice of lemon peel and add the egg yolks previously diluted in a little milk. Bring to the boil again, stirring constantly. Add more milk if you think it is not creamy enough.
Pour into a bowl or platter and sprinkle or decorate with ground cinnamon while hot.
I used to live in Spain and learned how to make a great tortilla. Buen provecho! And a great big thank you to all the BaWers! Kerry in Vancouver
If you would like a glass of wine to go with this, go see Teresa - she has a nice bottle of Portuguese red.
My first present for you is home-made bread. In my country when some dear guests come to our houses or when we celebrate special occasions, we always bake special bread which is called "pitka" The main ingredients are Love and Patience. Participating in this wonderful session of BAW 2013 was for me like making this special bread, I've put a lot of patience and love, but the result is really good, as you can see from the pitka made by me.
My second present for you is a song, a part of international project called "Playing for a change". I have chosen this song called "Satchita" because it shares similar ideas as BAW - participants from different countries, online performance, sharing and joy. Thank you, dear moderators for the wonderful work and dear BAW friends for the sharing and the support. May God bless you. Kisses and hugs. Lucy

Dear Bawers, first of all I want to thank all of you for the great course and I'm really happy to now integrate this group of professionals. I've learned a lot and really hope to be in touch with all of you along 2013!
Once upon a time, I had a band, rather a vocal group (1992 until 2005), called Grupo Interação (Interaction Group) whose main objective was charitable and we played in and out of São Paulo (my hometown).
My inspiration to compose songs came in three languages: English, Spanish and Portuguese, in different beats and melodies. The picture below illustrates the group (my husbancd, me, friends Rosana and Nelson) singing songs of our 1st and only CD Emoção de Servir ( Emotion to Serve).
I want to offer you 2 of the songs extracted from the above mentioned CD: Mother Nature, and La Creación, both referring to the power of Nature as we are also part of this incredible world.
So all my best energies to all of you and wish you all a great 2013. See you on BaW2014!!

It has been such a pleasure learning new web tools with you. You are all such an amazing company.
I hope this is not the end of our collaboration and I want to give you a piece of my beautiful country - Croatia.
If you happen to visit this part of the world I'd like you to be my guests.
And if you come to my humble home by any chance, I'll give you our traditional unique dessert.
Štrukli are made of only a few ingredients. We would then say that it would actually be very easy to prepare them at home. Try it! Few dishes are so difficult to produce. Why? The explanation is simple. PASTRY. The pastry is stretched on a table surface of approximately 3 square meters and at its thickest part is still thinner than half a millimetre. The rest is easy if you choose a good cheese, fine homemade cream and of course good farmers eggs.
If you want the recipe just let me know!
Oh yes, and some traditional chocolates for all of you…
Big hugs from Marija.

Dear BAWers! It's been such a pleasure learning lots of new things from you!

Once daydreaming in the gorgeous forest I unexpectedly noticed this: (pic. #2)
At that time I didn’t really know what the spider meant but now “the message” is clear - Webheads in Action! They’ve been weaving the web for ten years now and the web design is divine! Each loop, turn and connection is perfect and tailored to the ideals of each participant. Thanks a lot!
And of course... a jar of honey for you... right from the forest!
Happy Anniversary from Sneza!
I have discovered how to use Prezi this year and am delighted to explore it. So once again from me - it's Prezi time!
Best wishes to everybody!

Dear BaW 2013 coordinators, moderators, guest presenters and all the participants,
It was such a pleasure to be with you, learn together and from you :), it was an unforgettable experience. I hope we will keep in touch for many years ahead. It was such a safe and supportive space for learning where the course designers, coordinators and moderators really demonstrated what learner centered teaching is; where they showed a wonderful example of what 'teach what you preach' is; thank you for always being there for us :). Thank you to all the coordinators, moderators and guest presenters for wonderful live sessions, each of the session was a great success (though could not comment on the last few sessions), I loved each of them :), so much valuable information, food for thought and inspiration to learn and grow professionally. Thank you to all the participants, my dear course mates for learning together :). Don't feel like saying good bye, just will say see you soon after the course :).
I have studied in India for the last 6 years, but I am from Kyrgyzstan. Therefore, would like to share some information about Kyrgyzstan. It is an ancient country with rich history and culture.
Kyrgyz people are very hospitable and whoever comes to the house, will offer bread, and any kinds of guests welcomed with bread as you can see in the following illustration:
The bread is always there in any Kyrgyz's table or 'dastorkhon' as we call it:
Here is a bowl of boorsoks made by me:
I would like to share the 'boorsoks' recipe with you:
Boorsoks (Kyrgyz traditional bread)
Ingredients
2 cups of flour
1/2 tablespoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of sugar (optional)
1/4 teaspoon of yeast
1/4 cup of milk (you can also use water instead)
1 egg
1/2 cup of fresh cream or butter
0.5 litres of oil (for frying boorsoks)
Procedure:
Combine flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a separate bowl bat the egg and stir in milk. Combine the two mixtures, stir them together by adding warm water slowly and knead the dough well until it holds together. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Cover the dough with warm scarf or a blanket for 2-3 hours. Then make quite small balls and roll them 1/4 inch thick. Cut each piece of dough 1 inch by 2 inches rectangles.
Pour oil into a wok and heat on a medium fire. Once the oil is heated, start frying the boorsoks by putting 5 to 10 boorsoks depending on the size of the wok but make sure that they do not overlap.
Fry the boorsoks until they puff up and become golden brown. Flip the boorsoks over and fry the other side in the same way.
Bon Appetit, dear Bawers 2013!
Historically Kyrgyz people were nomads and our traditional dress symbolizes our beautiful nature, culture, history and way of life. Lady's clothes consist of a dress with loose skirt and sleeves for riding a horse and a camel, with a vest to cover her breast, back and inner organs safe from the wind, rain, snow and sun.
Here is my former student, Mrs USA Asia 2011, Saltanat, who represented Kyrgyzstan. She is wearing our traditional dress and a headgear for young ladies:
Happy Anniversary!

Dear BaWers,
Thank you so much for this wonderful session. It was a pleasure to meet you all. Every time I got BaW group messages or participated in live sessions I felt that I was part of the community of real enthusiasts and inspirers. I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the company of great people.
Here is our present (team work). My mom cooked it, my aunt and I designed it and I also was an inspirer and coordinator.
We called it “The Fountain of Ideas: BaW 2013” (beef liver pate).
500 g beef liver, cubed
200 g butter
salt and pepper
2 onions
2 spoons sour cream
Enjoy it!
