The tireless directors of WORMS, Paolo Conti and Arthur Nunes are thinking about the possibility of opening their film with another technique of Stop Motion: Paper Animation! For this experiment, they invited none other than the expert Carlos Meira - a disciple of the legendary Leo Monahan, he has been dedicated to this delicate technique of paper sculpture for many years.. Small children and grown ups, come early to the movie theater: the film promises to be amazing from the very beginning!

In early 1990, Carlos moved to Portugal where he developed his unique style of paper sculpture. He returned to Brazil in 1996 and settled in Florianopolis where he further strengthened his illustration side. He has held six solo exhibitions and illustrated several books since then.

Salad of spinach and avocado

spinach-avocado-salad

I had a bag of baby spinach to use up and two ripe avocados so I decided to make a tossed salad with a few of my favorite ingredients.  It was a simple salad to make and tasted fantastic! I love the creamy avocado, sweet craisins, crunchy croutons, salty Parmesan, and the tangy vinaigrette - it was a delicious and flavorful salad and was a huge hit with my entire family. I served this salad with the Penne with Mixed Vegetables, Parmesan Cheese, and Pine Nuts.

Spinach and Avocado Salad:
Baby spinach
1-2 avocados, diced
Cherry tomatoes, quartered
Red onion diced
Craisins
Croutons
Parmesan cheese, shaved
Fran's Simple Vinaigrette (recipe below)
ingredients
Place the baby spinach in a large bowl then top with the avocados, tomatoes, red onion, craisins, croutons, and Parmesan cheese.


Fran's Vinaigrette:
1/4 cup canola oil
1 1/2 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 red wine vinegar
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp sugar
Sea salt and Freshly cracked pepper, to taste
Make the vinaigrette at least 30 minutes prior to serving the salad so the flavors have time to mingle. Combine the ingredients together and whisk well before serving.

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad to taste; toss until evenly coated. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
