No escribe nada y no recuerdo nada.

I didn´t write anything and I don´t remember anything.

Oh wait! I found two things: recipes!

1. Pure de espinaca (puree of spinach)
Espinaca/acelga (spinach)
Papa (potatoes)
Leche (milk)
Mantequilla (butter)

Cocina espinaca y papa separados. Aplasta las papas y ponga la leche mas mantequilla. Despues, pure la espinaca en una maquina de pure y ponga la espinaca en las papas y cocinas juntas. (Steam the spinach and boil the potatoes. Mash the potatoes and add milk and butter. Puree the spinach and add it to the potatoes. Cook until you like it. Sorry no amounts. It is DELICIOUS).

2. Yerba mate--manera de Martin (yerba mate, Martin style)

Llene la yerba en 3/4 del mate. Llene poco a poco con agua caliente (y si desea, azucar). Espere para mate le absorber al agua, y tambien enterre la punta de bombilla en mate. Cuando lleno, tome, y llene otra vez con agua caliente. (Fill the mate gourd 3/4 with yerba mate. Then fill it little by little with hot water and sugar if you want. Wait for the mate to absorb the water, and also bury the end of the pipe in the mate. When it is full, drink the mate through the pipe, and fill it again with hot water. Yerba mate is a sort of tea drink that is enjoyed by many people in South America. I believe it originated in Argentina. It can be a strong bitter drink so people add raw sugar. It has some sort of wake-up to it but it is not caffiene. Also not addictive. I could learn to like it but I prefer mate de coca, or coca leaf tea.)
