Cooking has a lot to do with mixtures, both heterogeneous and homogeneous.  So, for this writing assignment: 1.Think about a food that you like to make. 2. Write a recipe for it, complete with step-by-step instructions.  3. Identity a heterogeneous and/or a homogeneous mixture in the dish and explain why it is that type of mixture. 

Short version Let’s talk about mixtures. Matter can be one of two things: a pure substance or a mixture. Pure substances are made of only one thing, like water, salt or gold. Mixtures have two or more pure substances. Some mixtures are heterogeneous. In these, you can see each part, like in salad or paella. Homogeneous mixtures are different, because you cannot see each part. In other words, it is so mixed that it looks like one thing and not a lot of different things. Some examples of these are salt water and Cola Coa. Finally, alloys are mixtures in which at least one part is metal. These can be things like brass, steel and bronze. They are  very strong.  Long version Let’s review what we’ve learned about mixtures. First, all matter is made up of one or more substances and substances are made up of atoms. Matter can be either a pure substance or a mixture. Pure substances contain only one type of component, while mixtures contain two or more pure substances.  A f...

Short version The 15h of May is a holiday for Saint Isidro. He made water come from the ground where before there had been no water. So, a chapel was built for him there. Today, the people of Madrid go to his park to dance, wear costumes, and have fun with their families. Also, people eat rosquillas, or Spanish dougnuts, and drink lemonade.Happy San Isidro Day!! Long version In Madrid, the 15th of May is a holiday that celebrates the life of the patron saint of the community, Saint Isidro. According to legend, San Isidro made water flow from a well where before there had been no water. For this reason, a chapel was built on that spot in his honor. These days, the people of Madrid go to the park of Saint Isidro to have a party outdoors, complete with traditional dances and costumes. Traditional foods are another big part of Saint Isidro celebrations. Usually, people make rosquillas, which are a kind of Spanish doughnut, and lemonade. This is a holiday to enjoy and spend with your family...

Good morning friends!! Today a new dictation for you. In this case it is related with San Isidro´s tradition. I hope you learn something new about it. There are many interesting facts around this tradition such as the meaning of the color of the flower women wear on their hair. Red for married women and white for single ones. Did you know this? Short version Long version

As I told you, I tried to record a video making lemonade, but I have to tell you that we could only record the first step: squeezing lemons. Nico was trying to make a tutorial for his friends ;). To follow the recipe, after squeezing all the lemons you have to add sugar, ice cubes and water. Mix them together and you will have a fantastic refreshing lemonade. Remember that you have the whole recipe in the other post. We enjoy our lemonade with some rosquillas, "tontas" and "listas". Do you know the differences between them? Which one do you prefer?

I wish I could celebrate this day with my friends as we usually do..but today we have to be happy and try to do our best with our relatives. I share with you this fantastic video showing us how awesome is our city Madrid accompained with one of the best known chotis that we have ever had. I really miss you Madrid! I hope you enjoy it ;)

Hello! I am so happy today because is San Isidro and we are going to celebrate it at home. I will make some lemonade with my children and enjoy a few rosquillas, both listas and tontas.
