Todas as manhãs, o Pedro fazia um pequeno-almoço especial com muito amor e dedicação. Acordava naturalmente cedo, às sete da manhã, sem despertador, e ia silenciosamente para a cozinha para não acordar ninguém. A sua mulher ainda dormia tranquilamente no quarto enquanto ele preparava tudo. Este ritual diário tinha-se tornado a sua forma preferida de mostrar carinho a toda a família.
Every morning, Pedro would make a special breakfast with a lot of love and dedication. He woke up naturally early, at seven in the morning, without an alarm clock, and went quietly to the kitchen so as not to wake anyone. His wife was still sleeping peacefully in the bedroom while he got everything ready. This daily ritual had become his favorite way of showing affection to the whole family.
Primeiro, fazia o café na máquina de café expresso que tinha comprado há dois anos e que tinha sido bastante cara. Depois, fazia torradas com manteiga e mel. Não era nada complicado, mas fazia tudo com muito cuidado e atenção a cada detalhe. Às vezes, também fazia panquecas fofas ou ovos mexidos bem temperados com ervas aromáticas.
First, he made the coffee in the espresso machine he had bought two years ago, which had been quite expensive. Then he made toast with butter and honey. It wasn't at all complicated, but he did everything with great care and attention to every detail. Sometimes he also made fluffy pancakes or scrambled eggs well seasoned with aromatic herbs.
