    New Galician language series on Netflix

    Yes, Bitter Daisies is pretty dark. Sorry I didn't warn y'all. Thanks for the links for Chove and Bertolina, MarkyD and Oursonpolaire. Is Grande Reportagem in Portuguese?

    New Galician language series on Netflix

    Or should I say, Galego.

    New Galician language series on Netflix

    You're probably right. There was only I incident where a sales clerk continued to speak to me in Gallego in spite of my Spanish. I was embarrassed that I didn't know how to even say thank you or the other niceties. Won't make that mistake on my next camino.

    New Galician language series on Netflix

    I just finished watching Bitter Daisies set in Muriás, Asturias,Spain. It's mostly in Galician. For anyone trying to practice their listening skills in Galician this is a good resource. Since it was for the most part close enough to Spanish I could understand it. I wonder if it wouldn't take...

    Tarta de Santiago Recipe

    @Tia Valeria and @Donna Sch, thanks for the tips. I tried the recipe for the 3rd time and this time I did not beet the eggs and sugar before adding the almond meal. The consistency of the batter was thicker more like the one I finally found on YouTube. Funny how that happened. Maybe it's like...

    Tarta de Santiago Recipe

    I've tried this recipe twice and I'm still not happy with the results. The finished tarta is too moist so I'm wondering if I'm putting too many eggs. I try cooking it longer but the edges and bottom start to look burnt. I do weigh the ingredients for accuracy. What should the batter consistency...

    A Fool's Journey- My Camino experience in paintings and stories

    Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your exhibition as if we were there. Cecelia's notes added context and were a nice addition to Suzy's paintings. In 2014 I attended an exhibition in the Hill Country of Central Texas by artist Susie Monday influenced by her camino. Here is a link of her fabric...

    Did you come to love your sleeping bag ?

    I was once in a group of quilters who joked that we loved quilting because it was an excuse to snuggle a blanket without being compared to a 2 year old who carries his or her "blankie" everywhere. On the camino maybe our sleeping bags serve a similar purpose.

    floccinaucinihilipilification

    All, I saw the video of you, but didn't understand what you said. Good word!

    I just love my life

    Just came home from a full day. Took a short walk, went to Mass, ate out and saw a fun movie with my 93 year old Mom. Life is good. Who cares if it's 105°F today. And 34 days till I'm off to VDLP.

    Walking for my Late Father - Compostella Queston

    Thanks for this post @Robo, I know Dad will be on my mind on my camino and including his name on my compostela would mean a lot to me. God willing, I'll be in SdC on the anniversary of his passing. Makes me smile to think that Dad was such a devout Catholic he managed to die on All Souls Day.

    Cash, Credit, ATMs?

    Thanks for clarifying that @Mike Savage and @Anniesantiago. I had been to the Schwab website and wondered if I was reading the requirements correctly. Thought maybe there were some high rollers on this forum! Btw also read recently that a PayPal debit card charges only 1 % fee and $1.50 per...

    Do you need to have an investment account with schwab also?

    Blankets and Bedbugs

    Marmite-- now that's a substance I could go for. My daughter turned me on to the benefits of it for vegans. Will up my intake of it and report back after my camino.

    Blankets and Bedbugs

    Yep, just have to take all the opinions in and make a decision. Maybe I'm just ready to be done with all my obsessing about every aspect of my camino preparation. I may be posting in November how I regretted not taking a treated sheet. So be it.

    Blankets and Bedbugs

    So far what I've read is that permethrin is not harmful to humans. But if it doesn't really help with bedbugs why take the risk that a few years from now, as is often the case, you find out they are toxic.

    Blankets and Bedbugs

    Probably a lot of you have seen the youtube video of bedbugs on permethrin treated material. If it takes close to an hour to kill the critters, don't they have plenty of time to bite you? I bought a mattress cover that was recommended on this forum but now am rethinking taking it.

    How slow is slow enough? And some other questions.
