I forgot to write you my thanks for the pineapple granita. It was delicious, though it turned out soft rather than crunchy. I may have taken it out before time. I made one when temperature here rose to a St Martin's summer last week. Now, back to gloomy winter.
Here in Uruguay, the people I know (I don't follow football) rooted for Spain. Uruguayans in general consider the porteños (from Buenos Aires) being the worst pain in the neck. Those from the provinces are liked.
I may try this recipe when blueberries are a bit cheaper. Right now, they are imported from Perú.
Glad you liked it, yeah it needs to be kept in i til it’s pretty icy. I just bought a watermelon to do one of those also. I have cousins in Argentina as does my husband, i also have family in Ecuador and cousins in Spain I didn’t know who to root for. 😆
I am awaiting the watermelon version with trepidation! There are so few recipes with them. Most of my family lives in my home country, Perú. A few in the USA (no interest for football) and a few in Spain (where they celebrated with fireworks after watching the match in the main square).
Here in Uruguay, I live in the countryside. Fireworks are frowned upon, since cattle may escape, people just shouted at each other in contentment.
I live out in Sonoma northern Calif wine country it's a rural area with farms and vineyards and we're cautious with fireworks here due to wildfires. I can only imagine the celebrations down there!!!
Oops, I forgot to write the contentment was for Spain! Lovely where you live! I reside in Colonia Nicolich, Departamento of Canelones, still rural, though the "urbanisation" has slowly been creeping in.
About two miles from where I am, a Google "city" is being built, about the expanse of ten former farms. Big sigh. I used to look up for their animals.
Oh yes, they’re buying farmland in the US I read the other day of people selling their failing farm for 22 million to a data center builder. We’re about 50 miles to the north of San Francisco we get the gentrification up here,people are trying to fight it
Oh, no! Here, the Intendente de Canelones (Governor) and the Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas (like the Department of Treasury) gave their approval. The farmers once living there sold beacause the younger generations weren't interested anymore in rural work. It is said the buyers (due to construct gated communities) were generously bought out.
Please, read the Scott Dworkin articles here on Substack, they are free. Several of them deal with victories over data centres. Here, impossible. Too much bureaucracy and shady deals, plus now it seems the Ministerio de Vivienda y Desarrollo (like the HUD) also gave its approval.
Sigh.
Thank you for taking the time to read my unravelled thoughts.
