I recreated the Tarte Queijada de Sintra (Portuguese cinnamon cheesecake)! I found a Portuguese recipe online with a video where it looked very similar to the one I had in Sintra so I translated the recipe. It's very easy:

Blend:

4 egg yolks

400g ricotta or cottage cheese (I used the latter)

200g sugar

50g flour

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Add it to a store bought pie crust (prick holes in the bottom with a fork). The recipe said to bake at 180°C for 30 min, I followed the pie crust instructions and baked at 170°C for 40 min.

Azores islands

The Azores Islands, an autonomous region of Portugal, consist of nine volcanic islands located in the North Atlantic Ocean:

1. Geography: Situated approximately 1,360 km (850 miles) west of mainland Portugal, the islands are grouped into the Eastern Group (São Miguel and Santa Maria), the Central Group (Terceira, Graciosa, São Jorge, Pico, and Faial), and the Western Group (Flores and Corvo).

2. Volcanic Origins: Predominantly of volcanic origin, some volcanoes on the islands are still considered active. Mount Pico on Pico Island is the highest point in Portugal, rising 2,351 meters (7,713 feet) above sea level.

3. Natural Beauty: Known for their stunning landscapes, the Azores feature crater lakes, thermal springs, verdant valleys, and rugged coastlines. The islands are a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

4. Culture and History: Influenced by Portuguese, Flemish, Spanish, and Moorish traditions, the Azores boast UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Angra do Heroísmo on Terceira Island, renowned for its well-preserved architecture and historical significance.

5. Tourism: The islands attract tourists interested in activities such as hiking, whale watching, diving, and exploring volcanic caves. They offer a unique blend of adventure and relaxation in a pristine natural environment.

6. Local Cuisine: Azorean cuisine highlights fresh seafood, dairy products, and traditional dishes such as cozido das Furnas (a stew cooked underground by volcanic heat) and queijadas (cheese pastries).

The Azores Islands provide a distinct and captivating destination for travelers seeking a combination of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and outdoor adventure in Europe.

A creature sick as you should be put down

You are becoming far too acclimated to this. To the sounds of their begging, inevitably cut off by a twist of the head or a fatal jab to the heart, perhaps a deep slice across the throat. Whatever suits you best in that moment.

Right now, you've got your hands around the neck of a particularly vile man; recently released from prison under the guise of a new man. Right. Turnover or not, no one will miss a child predator.

Blood pools in his face the harder you squeeze, and you silently revel in how he thrashes beneath you, prying at your wrists and kicking his legs as though it will do a thing to deter you. It spurs you on just as much as it aggravates you.

"Please--"

Ah. But that voice aggravates you even more. Strained by immense pressure and the lack of oxygen.

The thumb of your left hand presses just beneath his mandible, digging around until -- ah, you've found it. With just enough pressure there, at the hyoid bone, you can silence him for good.

Crack

How pleasant it feels when it breaks against your fingers.

Not enough to still his squirming, but it's satisfactory to the point you can finally eat. And when his bitter blood coats your teeth, you briefly wonder what the blood of someone innocent might taste like.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ay, meu doce menino! How long has it been since you've come to see your mama?"

Ah.. she hasn't changed. Her worrisome nature only brings a smile to your face, and it grows all the brighter when this poor woman gathers you into her arms like you're a little boy again, as if you don't tower a good foot above her.

"You look like you've lost weight, querido," she comments, cupping your face in her hands and turning it here and there to take a better look at one of her younger boys. But she says that about all of her children when they come to visit. Despite having grown to be so strong, she still frets over you like you're still a child. Something in your chest aches when you think about it.

She ushers you over to the kitchen table, already setting a plate of pastries before you and going her way to prepare a cup of coffee.

Despite your, ah.. large meal, you nibble at a queijada, watching as flakes of the pastry scatter to the plate and idly pushing them all into one spot.

"Are you hungry? I have some soup going, it should be ready in a little while."

Little flashbacks play in your mind then. A man beneath you, strangled to death with a chunk missing from his left shoulder.

A grin spreads over your lips.

"I'm not that hungry, mãe. I already had a pretty big meal."
