I usually don't eat breakfast. I just drink a glass or two of water and then I make myself a coffee with a little bit of milk and that's how my day takes off. I think I only eat breakfast when I go to the court and this happens once a week, although it has been two weeks that this necessary training has been suspended for some reason.
The thing is that in these days there was one in which before getting out of bed I started to watch a motivational video. I will not make the story too long, but it said something about pressing the tip of the nose for 30 seconds. I did it and I don't know... I immediately got full of energy, I went to the kitchen, opened the fridge and started to take things out and it occurred to me that with the coffee I was going to make some arepas?, or something with flour, 1 sad egg that was left, sugar and 馃檮 milk? (there was practically none) and the cow was already fainting and couldn't say m煤煤煤.
ESPA脩OL
Mi primer post FOODIE - no es una receta.
Generalmente no desayuno. Solo tomo un vaso o dos de agua y luego me preparo un caf茅 con un poquito de leche y as铆 despega mi d铆a. Creo que solo desayuno cuando voy a la cancha y esto ocurre una vez por semana, aunque ya van dos semanas que se suspende por alguna raz贸n este necesario entrenamiento.
La cosa es que en estos d铆as hubo uno en que antes de salir de la cama me puse a mirar un video motivacional. No voy a hacer el cuento muy largo, pero dec铆a algo de presionar la punta de la nariz por 30 segundos. Lo hice y no s茅... de inmediato me llen茅 de energ铆a, fui a la cocina, abr铆 el refrigerador y empec茅 a sacar cosas y se me ocurri贸 que con el caf茅 iba a peparar unas 驴arepas?, o un algo con harina, 1 triste huevo que quedaba, az煤car y 馃檮 驴leche? (no hab铆a pr谩cticamente) ya estaba la vaquita desmayada que no pod铆a decir m煤煤煤.
I was putting things in the limited space I have in the kitchen and even took a bag of mango slices out of the freezer. I thought about making a juice too. I discovered some jellies in the fridge door, 馃槀. Yes, I can almost say that I discovered them when I took them out of there because they looked at me every day and I didn't even pay attention to them.
That's when I came up with the brilliant idea of doing the half foodie post for...
<<< repeat with me that hackneyed phrase >>>>
"get out of my comfort zone". 馃槄 As if I don't get out of my comfort zone (my bed) every day!
Let's get to work!
ESPA脩OL
Fui colocando las cosas en el reducido espacio que tengo en la cocina y hasta saqu茅 del congelador una bolsa con tajadas de mango. Pens茅 en hacer un jugo tambi茅n. Descubr铆 unas gelatinas en la puerta de la nevera, 馃槀. S铆, casi puedo decir que las descubr铆 al sacarlas de all铆 porque me miraban cada d铆a y yo ni caso les hac铆a.
Ah铆 se me ocurri贸 la brillante idea de hacer el post medio foodie para...
<<< repite conmigo esa frase manida >>>
"salir de mi zona de confort". 馃槄 隆Como si yo no saliera de mi zona de confort (la cama) todos los d铆as!
隆Manos a la obra!

Flour (4 large spoonfuls)
1 Egg, brown sugar and gelatin (I didn't know what for yet)
Vaquita (little cow)
馃槕 There is hardly any milk left in the vaquita.

Now comes the creative part. In life, shelnixxx, you have to have creativity - what's with the measurements, portions, weighing, setting timers? No queeeeeeee vaaaaaaaa. Things have to come from the soul. With art. Use that sixth sense the Universe endowed you with 馃ぃ Men don't worry about sense, sometimes it's better not to have it (or lose it) 馃槄.

I pour as much sugar in it as I can eat (a bucket). No, no... it's just a bit; look closely. But I can't tell you the amount because I already explained that it's a matter of inspiration. I would say, neither too much nor too little. Don't be extreme about not adding sugar, 馃槀 or that the sugar is more than the rest, because it's not like that, not like that.
At this point, when I looked at what I had on the plate (the last photo), I said: no butter or margarine, I don't truly know how I remember that exists? 馃檮 What do I do 馃?
ESPA脩OL
Harina (4 cucharadas grandes)
1 Huevo, az煤car morena y gelatina (todav铆a no sab铆a para qu茅)
Vaquita
馃槕 No queda leche apenas en la vaquita
Ahora viene la parte creativa. En la vida, shelnixxx, hay que tener creatividad. 驴Qu茅 es eso de medidas, porciones, pesar, poner temporizadores? No queeeeee vaaaaaa. Las cosas tienen que salir del alma. Con arte. Usa ese sexto sentido con el que te dot贸 el Universo 馃ぃ Los hombres no se preocupen por el sentido, a veces es mejor no tenerlo (o perderlo) 馃槄.
Yo le echo la cantidad de az煤car que puedo comer (un cubo). No, no... es poquita; f铆jate bien. Pero no puedo decirte la cantidad porque ya te expliqu茅 que es cosa de inspiraci贸n. Te dir铆a, ni mucha ni poca. No seas extremista de no ponerle az煤car, 馃槀 o que el az煤car sea m谩s que lo dem谩s, porque as铆 no, as铆 no.
En este punto, cuando mir茅 lo que ten铆a en el plato (la 煤ltima foto), dije: No hay mantequilla ni margarina, no s茅 verdaderamente c贸mo recuerdo que eso existe... 馃檮 驴Qu茅 hago?馃
Now the challenge was to take the photo with the camera and the oil spoon (I'm right handed), but a foodie post needs photos, a load of photos, and I know that because I have my references 馃槆 in the Hive kitchen.
This is as decent as I could manage. What comes next is putting that together. And already there I was getting a little uncomfortable, because something was telling me that the arepas, or whatever that was, weren't coming out. And the post wasn't going to be a run-of-the-mill one either, so I had to improvise.
(Let's see, this is no joke, I'm essentially like that in the kitchen. Now what's going on is that I'm showing the example of the..... 馃槅 what do I call them, gelarepas!)
Let's then take a look at how to make a GELAREPAS mix.
ESPA脩OL
Ahora el reto era hacer la foto con la c谩mara y la cuchara de aceite (soy diestra), pero un post foodie lleva fotos, un cargamento de fotos, y eso lo s茅 porque tengo mis referentes 馃槆 en la cocina de Hive.
Esto es lo m谩s decente que pude lograr. Lo que viene despu茅s es unir eso. Y ya ah铆 me estaba sintiendo un poco inc贸moda, porque algo me dec铆a que las arepas, o lo que sea que fuera eso, no estaban saliendo. Y el post tampoco iba a ser uno com煤n y corriente, por lo que ten铆a que improvisar.
(A ver, esto no es broma, esencialmente soy as铆 en la cocina. Ahora lo que sucede es que estoy mostrando el ejemplo de las... 馃槅, 驴c贸mo las llamo? 隆Gelarepas!)
Vamos entonces a ver c贸mo se hace una mezcla de GELAREPAS.

A piece of eggshell had fallen into the dough. It's so bad for me to chew a piece of eggshell. It's like when I think of a cotton swab or one of those swabs they put in your mouth at the dentist (ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy) I shudder to think about it!
And the milk? 馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶 I forgot to mix in the powdered milk.
This departure from the comfort zone is turning out to be like a blind date.
... think shelnixxx
..
.
The only thing I can think of is to make a tiny bit of milk in a small casserole dish and then try to bind that with more flour.
馃槚
I heated up a little bit of water. I poured in two big spoonfuls of milk and a little bit of gelatin so it would color and grab some flavor, in this case it was raspberry, I think. I don't know. That's not important.
ESPA脩OL
Hab铆a ca铆do dentro de la masa un pedazo de c谩scara de huevo. 馃槀 Con lo que me cae de mal, requetemal, masticar un pedazo de c谩scara de huevo. Es como cuando pienso en una torunda o algod贸n de esos que te ponen en la boca en el dentista (ayyyyyyyyyyy) 隆Me da escalofr铆os de pensarlo!
驴Y la leche? 馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶 Se me olvid贸 mezclar la leche en polvo.
<<<Esta salida de la zona de confort est谩 resultando como una cita a ciegas>>>
... piensa shelnixxx
..
.
Lo 煤nico que se me ocurre es hacer un poquito de leche en una cazuelita peque帽a y entonces intentar unir eso con m谩s harina.
馃槚
Calent茅 un poquito de agua. Le ech茅 dos cucharadas grandes de leche y un poquito de gelatina para que se coloreara y agarrara sabor a algo, en este caso era de frambuesa, creo. Ni s茅. Eso no es importante.
(Lumps and more lumps, that's the name of this chapter of the GELAREPAS)
Now an artistic photo of the attempt to unite what never seemed to be united.
I don't know about you, but I feel like eating it right now. It has the texture of dulce de leche with another sweet of 馃ぃ pink milk. No. Melted ice cream, like the one from Coppelia in Pinar del Rio.
And it smelled good. But there were already things... like the chamber was full of flour. And the junk was piling up. Cooking is not my thing and even so, I kept trying. What a mess!
ESPA脩OL
(Grumos y m谩s grumos, as铆 se llama este cap铆tulo de las GELAREPAS)
Ahora una foto art铆stica del intento de unir lo que no parec铆a que se iba a unir nunca.
No s茅 a ti, pero a m铆 me dan ganas ahora de comerme eso as铆 mismo. Tiene la textura del dulce de leche con otro dulce de 馃ぃ leche rosada. No. Helado derretido, como el del Coppelia de Pinar del R铆o.
Y ol铆a bien. Pero ya hab铆a cosas... como que la c谩mara estaba llena de harina. Y se estaban acumulando los trastos. La cocina no es lo m铆o y a煤n as铆, segu铆 esforz谩ndome. 隆Qu茅 desastre!
What can I do! I am not Nitza Villapol. She was a queen in the kitchen... or maybe she didn't know how to cook and that's why she invented so much... now I have doubts. Could I be a relative of the Villapol?

As you can see in the last photo, the coffee pot is ready with the Hola coffee (the one from the bodega). Thank goodness that came because the other one, the good one, the Cubita coffee that they sell in the MLC stores, and that my mother always buys for me, was also finished.
The only thing left was to heat the oil to fry two GELAREPAS, only two, because we can't get fat and because I have enough for the coffee with two.
ESPA脩OL
隆Qu茅 le voy a hacer! No soy Nitza Villapol. Esa s铆 era reina en la cocina... o ser谩 que no sab铆a cocinar y por eso inventaba tanto... ahora tengo dudas. 驴Ser茅 pariente de la Villapol?
Como ves en la 煤ltima foto ya est谩 lista la cafetera con el caf茅 Hola (el de la bodega). Menos mal que vino ese porque el otro, el bueno, el caf茅 Cubita que venden en las tiendas de MLC, y que siempre me compra mi mam谩, se hab铆a terminado tambi茅n.
Solo quedaba calentar el aceite para fre铆r dos GELAREPAS, solo dos, porque no podemos engordar y porque para el caf茅 con dos tengo.
The mango juice was left for another time. You can be a foodie without being a drinkie this time. I was already a little bored with the drippings. One of the things that makes me a little hysterical is getting grease on the stove. Or on the wall.
(ay shelnixxx, you can't be that shelnixxx).
I think in the end the Gelarepas didn't turn out too bad. I gave one a taste after taking a picture of them that really doesn't do the poor things justice.
I have to say: after this I really appreciate the work of those who make posts of food preparations and they look so wonderful, such as 
ESPA脩OL
El jugo de mango se qued贸 para otra ocasi贸n. Se puede ser foodie sin ser drinkie por esta vez. Ya estaba un poco aburrida del reguero. Una de las cosas que me pone un poco hist茅rica es que caiga grasa en el fog贸n. O en la pared.
(ay shelnixxx, no puedes ser tan shelnixxx)
Creo que al final las Gelarepas no quedaron tan mal. Le di una probada a una despu茅s de hacerles una foto que la verdad no les hace mucha justicia a las pobres.
Tengo que decirlo: despu茅s de esto valoro mucho el trabajo de los que hacen posts de preparaciones de comidas y les quedan tan maravillosos, como por ejemplo
Remember I told you at the beginning that this is not a recipe. You are on your own and under your sole responsibility if you try to follow these steps.... 馃ぃ
You tell me how the Gelarepas turned out for you. 馃槀
Now we drink our coffee, quietly, while we concentrate as readers on the fabulous works that can be seen every day in Hive, and through which it is possible to travel and even taste exquisite culinary creations.
ESPA脩OL
Recuerda que te dije al principio que esto no es una receta. Est谩s por tu cuenta y bajo tu entera responsabilidad si intentas seguir estos pasos... 馃ぃ
Me dices c贸mo te quedaron las Gelarepas. 馃槀
Ahora nos tomamos el caf茅 quietecitas, quietecites o quietecitos, en lo que nos concentramos como leyentes en los fabulosos trabajos que cada d铆a se pueden ver en Hive, y a trav茅s de los cuales es posible viajar y hasta saborear exquisitas creaciones culinarias.
