Mamey Sapote Fruit in Mexico -- Unedited Footage
Просмотров 205Месяц назад
A few weeks ago I uploaded a 5 minute long mamey sapote video on the Chef Buck recipe channel. I was trying to make the mamey video short, but I thought some of the cut footage wasn’t so bad, and I also thought folks might want to see a completely unedited video file and how it compares to the final cut. So that’s what most of this video is. And here’s the 5 minute edited version ruclips.net/vi...

    Didn’t know the story of cruel dangerous female preying mantises that selfishly grab the flowers from the hopeful male and slam the door. But then I suppose this ritual is better than that of a certain species of spiders where the female eats the male after a night of romance 😂. Wow…but so many somnabulent bugs over there… I think you must have stepped on at least a few unlucky (but happy) ones. Despite the mosquito and venomous, amorous critters, San Miguel de Allende seems like a great place to spend time and explore. And that downpour must have been quite refreshing after all that hot weather.

      Very little cooking at home, usually some combo of eggs and veggies with avocado, or a fruit salad. SMA is one of the pricier towns we've visited in Mexico, but eating in restaurants is still a great value compared to what we experience in the USA, so we're taking advantage of it.

My favorite part that had me laughing 😂 was when you brought out your black trash bag and put it on the counter next to the plate of cut fruit. I actually went back and watched the 5 minute video cause I didn't remember any trash bag in the cutting video.

      Holy cow...I've seen Bone Tomahawk a half a dozen times already! LOVE IT! The guy who made that movie, Craig Zahler, also made Dragged Across Concrete and Brawl in Cell Block 99. After multiple viewings, I've come to love Brawl in Cell Block 99, but I didn't love it at 1st. Dragged Across Concrete I need to watch again, cause I didn't love it. I've also read a few books written by Zahler--real gritty stuff. In fact, I think one of his books is being turned into a movie by Ridley Scott. I don't know if Zahler is writing the screeplay; it's based on his western novel Wraiths of the Broken Land, which is fantastic, and thematically similiar to Bone Tomahawk. Hopefully the movie gets made!

    Have you guys improved your Spanish? You spend so much time in Latin America. When I was in Italy for ten days and then again the next year for a week, I felt I had to try to learn and make an effort to speak Italian, just out of respect to the natives. My college Spanish helped a lot with Italian as the two languages are similar...I got laughed at in a good natured way by some of the Italians I met when my attempts to be understood glitched. The Italians appreciated the effort though. Thanks for the personal reminiscing and thoughts. Maybe you should have a written blog if you do not already. Twenty five years ago, when I started the process of emigrating to Denmark and marrying my Danish wife, I shuttled back and forth between the USA and Aarhus and that was an adventure to me at the time. Now I feel like I just took a sky bus a few times to a cushy suburb where the Danish government pampered me with free Danish classes and other forms of help offered to immigrants.

      Every time we've traveled to a Spanish speaking country, my Spanish has improved...until now. The tourist and expat omnipresence is so great where we're staying in San Miguel de Allende, that anything beyond our "polite Spanish" just gets in the way...usually I'm inspired to study Spanish because it makes communication easier, but it's pretty easy without Spanish here (kind of a drawback really--cause I enjoy the language challenge...there's just not much of a language obstacle here)

    Que bueno que sigas aprendiendo español eso es importante si vives en Ecuador. Aunque muchos hablamos en inglés, indiscutiblemente debes de aprenderlo. Saludos.

      hey--sounds like you're living right!--I don't spend as much time on the computer nowadays, either...I've got to get off my phone more, too...I'm finding it easier to do lately (good luck to both of us!)

    Thank you for the stroll through town. Been there myself. I have spent 30 years traveling Mexico. Haven't been there for 12 years. I was that crazy American hanging out the back window of the bus taking photos. I speak the language and am very talkative, so I buddied up to people easily. Miracles happened on my travels. The people were genuinely full of love and life. Mexico was certainly my oyster in my day. In April 1997, I was on a bus returning to the U.S. and watched comet Hale Bopp for hours in the night sky. I always encountered people who adopted me for a few days and were surprised when I returned a year later with gifts to share. I have several extended adopted families in that marvelous country. I have passed both VW factories while on bus rides. Unfortunately, both have been closed down for more than 10 years at least. I have 6 classic beetles in my yard, so seeing bugs in Mexico was definitely a thrill in my travels. I digress. I thank you for the video upload. Viva Mexico!

      When traveling, I've found almost all people to be very generous and helpful; it can be quite inspiring.
