HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so...what did everyone do for easter...we had a bunch of people over and we had asado YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmm, sounds nice

Easter day was a bit troubled and rainy, Emmaus day was wonderful (anyone knowing French may read Sur la joie on my main blog) starting with a morning excursion to a neighbouring township, getting on with a few nice meetings (and one that started off as boring but eventually inspired Risus Paschalis - which is more interesting and funny if you know French) including an Irish-American homeschooled formerly Latin Mass creationist, a charming gal ...

asado meaning "fried (meat)" - have you any idea where the anglophones or others came up with barbecue?

Well! You are really getting into the translating business! I hope you had a fine Easter with your family.

Pray for me this week. Next Tuesday is the long-awaited SGA election here at Assumption, and given the challenging opposition, I will need God's help to triumph!

Prayers for you on Tuesday!

Hans: Asado is also used for grilled meat, which is the correct usage here.

Barbecue comes from the Taino Indian word "barbacoa" which was used for the grill.

I wrote "fried"? I meant grilled, of course!

Is "asar" from a Latin verb? Some Spanish verbs are from surprising Latin verbs.

quemar from cremare (burn, cremate)
quebrar from crepare (burst open and die)
quedar from quietari (calm down, settle down for a rest)
llegar from plicare (fold, as in a ship "folding" the course to get into a bay)

Taino Indian, where do they live?

And indeed, "asado" is from "assus" (roasted/baked, really, but pretty close.)

ah, I knew that one, but forgot it

gracias!
