Caldeirada is a typical Portuguese stew consisting of a large variety of fish, and sometimes shellfish, with potatoes, tomato and onion. It is made of a variety of fish differing in texture and taste (highly flavorful oily fish such as sardine, mackerel, tuna or skate, firm fish such as monkfish or halibut, and flaky white fish such as cod, haddock or flounder). It has a base of non seafood ingredients including onions, garlic, tomatoes and parsley. Like the French bouillabaisse, it requires only a little white wine and olive oil to supplement whatever liquid the heat of cooking renders from the fish and vegetables. Caldeirada is always presented in generous portions over a piece of crusty bread which has been lightly fried in oil, or toasted, or simply freshly torn from its loaf.
In Portugal, some cooks may add shellfish such as clams, mussels, and shrimp. In many places the addition of spices such as nutmeg and saffron are warmly welcomed. On the islands of Madeira one may find Caldeirada à Moda do Funchal scented with the heady fragrance of cloves. Found on the same islands is Caldeirada de Lulas with squid replacing the fish as well as a bit of curry powder and ground ginger added. In the Azores they enhance the stew's fragrance with some allspice, embolden it with a bit of hot red pepper or piri-piri and enrich it with slices of spicy chouriço or linguiça. In Aveiro, just south of Porto, Caldeirada cooks may use a combination of fresh and salt water fish along with oysters, mussels, and carrots. A Lisbon variant called Caldeirada à Fragateira includes cockles and mussels over bread that's been fried in oil.
Oooh
[Verse 1:]
Sitting here in this empty room
Just thinkin of what we've been through
Missing you, wanting you
Tonight
Memories of you and I keep haunting me
Can't believe it's reality that you've gone away from me
[Chorus:]
And now all I can do is cry
Tell me how, how can I say goodbye
Got me goin crazy
This is not the way that it was supposed to be
Remember when we said that it was you and me
Forever and eternity
Now you're no longer in my life
No it's not the same
Tryna to cope without you
Drivin me insane
Tell me what to do
How can I stop the pain
The pain of losing you baby
Cause you're no longer in my life
I gotta get over you (ahhh)
[Verse 2:]
Everyday, I relive the times we used to share
Boy, just help me
I can't live without his touch
Without his love
Please tell me why
Remember when he used to say he'd never leave
Oh God, I'm down on knees
Won't you just bring my baby back to me (ohh)
[Chorus:]
And now all I can do is cry
Tell me how, how can I say goodbye
Got me goin crazy
This is not the way that it was supposed to be
Remember when we said that it was you and me
Forever and eternity
Now you're no longer in my life
No it's not the same
Tryna to cope without you
Drivin me insane
Tell me what to do
How can I stop the pain
The pain of losing you baby
Cause you're no longer in my life
I gotta get over you (ahhh)
Got me goin crazy
This is not the way that it was supposed to be
Remember when we said that it was you and me
Forever and eternity
Now you're no longer in my life
No it's not the same
Tryna to cope without you
Drivin me insane
Tell me what to do
How can I stop the pain
The pain of losing you baby
Cause you're no longer in my life
