Two "F"... Family and Food
Wow...
These days is the Holy Week in Spain, so I'm enjoying some spare time... basically I cannot keep researching a job because the festivities. Oh, well...
But I've found out other interesting things XD.
Special thanks to dqbunny , who pointed the comunity Ancestry.com. Basically, it's a comunity for making family history researchs; you can fitfull your profile with all your family data, and in an aritmethic progress, you can keep fitfulling the rest of your family data... Parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc, etc... And I've opened an account.
I made a family tree long ago with all my relatives, and I could collect their names and procedences. However, this comuity allows you to find people that can match the data you put in your relatives. Thanks to that, I've found out a man namelled exactly like my grandfather, was in Puerto Rico.
---Unfortunately, the system follows the English culture criteria for names and births, even if it accepts worldvide people. It ask for "middle name" and a "surname"... So I have to ignore the "middle name" and put two surnames instead one, BECAUSE Spanish people has TWO surnames and not middle name. It doesn't accept different signs that usual roman alphabet... thus no "Ñ", no "Ç" or else, at least sometimes. And better don't ask about "married surname", because surnames can be repated!
Ironically, it recognizes the names of Spanish provices and towns; I guess it happens with other nations, too.
Anyway, I'm introducing my family tree. It's a problem when many of my ancestors died in the Spanish Civil War or the years after that because they starved to death, or because they were in jail after the war.
But certainly it's an useful tool to make this kind of researchs.
Oh! I don't post my family tree in an open post. Perhaps soon, when it's complete. And under a filter.

Yesterday I saw a TV documentary about bread. Yes, bread. And I learned a couple of interesting things. One of them is Japan winned the International Bread Match in France... because French bakers burned their baggetts in one of those. Go figures... but I guess "Yakitake Japan" is based on this match.
I like "good bread", not those nasty white-flaworless thing that is sold in many bakeries and supermarkets, so I found the documentary was very interesting, even if it was already on-going when I started to see it. The funny thing is the documentary talked about Ethiopian bread called INJERA... and precisely I ate that rare bread on the past Saturday when I had the lunch along loremaula and maurishio . The injera was used as cutlery, using it as plate and food, both. The restuarant was called Mesob and I found Ethiopian food was really jummy, (I love to try with foreing dishes, besides the traditional Spanish cousine). The funny thing is the documentary explained how this bread is done, and how difficult is to get it because the flour it uses is made by teff seeds are very small... in fact, it means "Easy to lost".
Sometimes, life is filled with little casualities.
