I have quite dark skin and some people in Dubai think I am Iranian. However Dubai is an authentic melting pot and there are people for all over the world. However when I go to Saudi Arabia 75% of the people think I am farsi. I think this is because my arab is very bad and Persians speak farsi yo soy...

I've baked bread three or fourth times. Somebody gave me a cookery book with a breadmaking recipe. You are right I doesn't take much time to prepare the dough and to bake it. I even experimented and once I baked a banana and honey bread and a walnut bread. The good thing of this bread is that last q...

I wonder if the took the image as a loan from another place. The book is at ...

En mi casa, que somos de Oviedo de toda la vida, solo se lee La Nueva Espana. Recuerdo un tiempo de leer La Voz de Asturias, pero yo deje de hacerlo cuando paso a manos del grupo Zeta.

paul, i thought that the asturian word of the week would be the equivalent of bbq! :D Yes, I found fascinating the fact that the some of the Asturamericans in Luis Argeo's documentary spoke with an impecable Asturian intonation. That was pure asturian for many of them! However I find sad that the la...

My mum always uses some of the words that Terechu mentions Pordioseru = beggar Adefesiu = very badly dressed but she also says something like astrapayoso or similar. I am unsure of the spelling but I believe it is something of her own making. I don't really agree with american informalism. While I w...
