Narcos Watch Party Essentials

An Intro to Colombian cuisine and lifestyle

Narcos Watch Party Essentials

If you want a full experience of Colombia as you watch Narcos (if you haven't already binged on it this weekend), here as some traditional colombian edibles, accessories, and beverages to check out:


Empanadas con aji (Claro!)

Salchipapas (not a traditional Colombian dish, but still common. In fact, Most Latin American countries have this or their own version of this)

Un Tinto o Un Perico (colombians are obsessed with coffee: "quiubo pues!")

Difference between 'Tinto' and 'Perico':

- Tinto is coffee served black with aguapanela (water with Panela - unrefined whole can sugar)

-Perico is served black with regular, bleached, processed sugar.

-Sidenote: not sure if you noticed but Berna was drinking from the same "cafe de colombia' cup in season 2 when he first spoke to Agent Peña in the cafe (I think every Colombian has a pair of these cups...I use them almost on a daily basis, they're the perfect size!)

Jugo de Guanábana en Leche

-I remember eating this fruit as a kid in Colombia when I'd go with my mom to visit. It's been my favorite fruit since. Do yourself a favor: go to a Colombian restaurant and order this drink as your "sobremesa" (literal translation: "on-table". But think, "refreshment")


Una Cerveza Aguila (like the one Sofia is holding)/Poker/Club Colombia/Costeña

OR

Un Refajo (2 parts beer, one part colombiana soda) - So refreshing!! One of my personal faves.

Colombiana or Manzana Postobon. Bacano ("cool").

Chocolate caliente con queso. Mmmm....que rico

Breads (Colombians are HUGE on bread):

in order, top to bottom: Bunuelos, pandebonos, pandebono, almojabanas, Roscón de Arequipe (Dulce de Leche Stuffed Bread), Roscón de Bocadillo o de Guayaba (Guava Paste Stuffed Bread)

Sombrero volteado (more of a coastal thing than a Paisa thing. By the way, "Paisa" is a noun that refers to someone that's from Medellin. E.g., Pablo Escobar was Paisa.)

And last but most certainly not least…Aguardiente Antioqueno!

Que disfruten! Salud Parceros!!

"Moana" is filled with life lessons that involve far more than finding true love as many other Disney movies do.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
