  • A big chicken with a special farofa stuffing with a family recipe (mine had, besides farofa itself, dried plums, gizzards, chicken liver, and other good stuff that my mother decided would match). The stuffing is cooked inside the chicken as it baked. It’s not uncommon to decorate the chicken with pineapple slices, figs and cherries.

    Sides are usually rice “a la greek” (No idea why it’s called that, but it’s regular white rice with carrots, raisins, chives, varying by family), a simple salad (lettuce, tomato, onion).











    • sed requires both ( and )characters to be escaped (in ERE mode), whereas grep and awkdon’t require ) to be escaped.
    • sed requires { to be escaped (in ERE mode) even if it isn’t part of a valid quantifier syntax, whereas grep and awk don’t require escaping. For example, you’d need \{a} in sed whereas {a} is enough for the other two.
    • In BRE mode, grep and sed don’t require ^ and $ to be escaped if they are used away from their customary positions.

    Fuck that.

    Edit: I’m not complaining about the the page, it looks nice and polished. It’s the inconsistencies among the GNU tools in handling regex that grind me.
