Leyendo a mariperez316@mariperez316 irenenavarroart@irenenavarroart y neotopher@neotopher conoc铆 otra manera de llamar a la catalina "paledonias" el de "cuca" lo escuch茅 la primera vez a mis 8 a帽os, cuando una de mis madrinas pregunt贸 de manera muy euf贸rica en voz alta, qui茅n quiere cuca? 馃槻 y yo qued茅 boca abierta, ya que coloquialmente as铆 le decimos a la vagina, y mi cabeza reventaba diciendo: Qu茅 le pasa a mi madrina? C贸mo va a ofrecer eso, recuerdo que muchos de los presentes hicieron una cola y yo le pregunt茅, madrina por qu茅 usted ofrece eso, ella sonriendo saco de su carro una bolsa de Catalina y dijo, Cochi la catalina tambi茅n es conocida con este nombre馃 adem谩s me dijo que hab铆a cuca blanca y negra.

Concuerdo con estos usuarios en que la
catalina es un rico postre ideal para acompa帽ar con caf茅, pero como le dije a mariperez@mariperez el m铆o que sea con leche馃槄 adem谩s de que para compartir entre amigos y familiares es excelente, sea una ma帽ana fresca, una tarde relajante o una noche de pr谩ctica, momentos necesarios para fortalecer los lazos como dice neothopher@neothopher, le dije que investigar铆a un poco y leyendo supe que la Catalina es una mezcla entre los pa铆ses espa帽oles y 谩rabes, solo que a la gallega le ajustaron los ingredientes de nuestra regi贸n, que en nuestro pa铆s las empezaron mujeres afrodescendientes.

Cuando vi la imagen, inmediatamente me llevo a mis 17 a帽os, viv铆amos a solo tres casa de unas colombianas expertas en la fabricaci贸n casera de estos dulces cortado, besitos, y cuando el horno empezaba a esparcir ese agradable olor de estos postres reci茅n hechos, mis amigos y yo ya est谩bamos sentados en un muro frente de la casa, esperando ser los primeros en comprar y nunca falt贸 el respectivo refresco de coca cola, que era el que mandaba en esa 茅poca, y ella tambi茅n lo vend铆an, eran muy buenas comerciantes馃槄 y nosotros muy buenos clientes.

Gracias lanzjoseg@lanzjoseg por llevarme a esos recuerdos hermosos que formaron parte de mi compartir entre amigos. A ti que llegaste hasta aqu铆 agradezco t煤 tiempo. Dios les bendiga 馃檹馃徏

ENGLISH

Reading mariperez316@mariperez316, irenenavarroart@irenenavarroart, and neotopher@neotopher, I learned another way to refer to Catalina: "paledonias." I first heard "cuca" when I was 8 years old, when one of my godmothers excitedly asked, "Who wants cuca?" 馃槻 I was speechless, since that's what we colloquially call the vagina, and my head was spinning, thinking, "What's wrong with my godmother? How can she offer that?" I remember many people forming a line, and I asked her, "Godmother, why are you offering that?" Smiling, she took a bag of Catalina out of her car and said, "Cochi, Catalina is also known by this name." 馃 She also told me there was white and black cuca.

I agree with these users that the Catalina is a delicious dessert, ideal to enjoy with coffee, but as I told mariperez@mariperez, mine is with milk 馃槄. It's also excellent for sharing with friends and family, whether it's a fresh morning, a relaxing afternoon, or a practice session鈥攎oments necessary to strengthen bonds, as neothopher@neothopher says. I told her I'd do some research, and after reading, I learned that the Catalina is a blend of Spanish and Arabic flavors, with the Galician version adapted to our region. In our country, it was originally made by Afro-descendant women.

When I saw the picture, it immediately took me back to when I was 17. We lived just three houses down from some Colombian women who were experts at making these sweet treats, called "cortos" or "besitos," at home. As soon as the oven started filling with that wonderful aroma of freshly baked desserts, my friends and I would be sitting on a wall across from the house, waiting to be the first to buy. And there was always a bottle of Coca-Cola, which was all the rage back then, and they sold it too. They were great businesswomen 馃槄 and we were great customers.

Thank you lanzjoseg@lanzjoseg for bringing back those beautiful memories that were part of my time with friends. Thank you for reading this far. God bless you all 馃檹馃徏
