Hello friends of The weekend! First of all I want to congratulate those Argentines who are reading this post, starting with the fact that on July 9 we celebrated Independence Day and on July 10 we raised the America Cup! ♥ As you have seen in previous publications, on the weekends at home you eat a lot, always with the family, and this weekend was no exception.
Hola amigos de The weekend! primero que nada quiero felicitar a esos argentinos que estén leyendo éste post, comenzando por que el 9 de julio festejamos el día de la independencia y el 10 de julio levantamos la copa america! ♥ Como ya han visto en anteriores publicaciones los fines de semana en mi casa se come mucho, siempre en familia, y èste fin de semana no fue para nada la excepcion.
Let's start on Friday, July 9, national date, in general tradition indicates that on this date locro is eaten, which is a dish that contains pork, meat, chicken, white corn, and many more delicious things ... but at the same time same as May 25 .... I did not get. So I went to eat at my godmother's who was doing a barbecue and I spent the whole day there.
Comencemos por el viernes 9 de julio, fecha patria, por lo general la tradicion indica que en èsta fecha se come locro, que es un plato que contiene cerdo, carne, pollo, maiz blanco, y muchas cosas deliciosas mas... pero al igual que el 25 de mayo.... no conseguí. Asi que fui a comer a lo de mi madrina que estaba haciendo un asado y pasé todo el día ahi.
I was thinking of leaving in the afternoon, but they invited me to dinner so we ordered two dozen empanadas from a family-run restaurant a few blocks away. They were very tasty :)
Pensaba irme a la tarde, pero me invitaron a cenar asi que pedimos dos docenas de empanadas de un local familiar que quedaba a unas cuadras. Estaban muy ricas :)
The whole dinner was spent under the watchful eye of Ebano, my godmother's puppy who is learning to be an educated puppy who waits to see if they invite him some empanada haha
Toda la cena transcurrió bajo la mirada atenta de Ebano, el cachorrito de mi madrina que está aprendiendo a ser un perrito educado que espera a ver si le convidan alguna empanada jaja
Saturday morning, I got up quite early and I sent a message to my friend Ivan who lives just 3 blocks from my house to see if he wanted us to have breakfast together. And he said yes! So I went to his house and made some ham and cheese toasts.
Mañana del sabado, me levanté bastante temprano y le mandé un mensaje a mi amigo Ivan que vive a tan solo 3 cuadras de mi casa a ver si tenia ganas de que desayunemos juntos. Y me dijo que sí! asi que fui hasta su casa y preparó unos tostados de jamon y queso.
Of course we accompany the toasts with mate. I was at his house until noon and he invited me to go the next day to have lunch at his house. I said yes and I went to mine to prepare for the preview of the America Cup match!
Por supuesto acompañamos los tostados con mate. Estuve en su casa hasta el mediodia y me invitó a ir al dia siguiente a almozar a su casa. Le dije que sí y me fui a la mia a prepararme para la previa del partido de la copa america!

I have no photos or videos of the moment we won because I was honestly in tears. I watched the game from my bed, the previous game when the Argentine-Colombian player for the semifinal I fell asleep and saw only the penalty shootout in which we won, so to respect the cabala I went to sleep for the final! hahaha and I did until 20 minutes before it ended, I woke up to the screams of euphoria from my neighbors who were celebrating. We are champions of the American Cup after 28 years. And from the hand of the best in the world, Leo Messi, who had never been able to lift a cup in the Argentine national team and already close to his last matches, he was able to do so. An immense joy, people flocked to the obelisk of Buenos Aires to celebrate and forget a bit about the covid and the pandemic. I don't agree with that at all, but hey, people needed a little relief.
No tengo fotos ni videos del momento en que ganamos porque honestamente estaba en lagrimas. Vi el partido desde la cama, el partido anterior cuando jugador argentina-colombia por la semifinal me quedé dormida y vi tan solo la tanda de penales en la que ganamos, asi que para respetar la cabala me acosté a dormir para la final! jajaj y cumplí hasta que 20 min antes de que acabase me desperté por los gritos de euforia de mis vecinos que estaban festejando. Salimos campeones de la copa america despues de 28 años. Y de la mano del mejor del mundo, Leo Messi, que nunca habia podido levantar una copa en la seleccion argentina y ya cerca de sus ultimos partidos lo pudo lograr. Una alegria inmensa, la gente se agolpó en el obelisco de Buenos Aires a celebrar y olvidarse un poco del covid y la pandemia. No estoy para nada de acuerdo con eso, pero bueno, la gente necesitaba un poco de alivio.
And then Sunday arrived, as my friend Ivan had already said, we went to his nephew's birthday at his mother's house. Where he threw his magic and started making some homemade crumb sandwiches.
Y entonces llegó el domingo, como ya habia dicho mi amigo Ivan fuimos al cumpleaños de su sobrino en casa de su madre. Donde él tiro su magia y se puso a hacer unos sanguches de miga caseros.
