Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Picture of the Day!

Thank you so much for your great response to yesterday’s post. You guys are the best. ¡Muchas gracias a todos!

This is a game where we can practice our Spanish and English, but still have fun at the same time!

The rules are very simple and remain more or less exactly as RelaxingCup designed them and H C A student faithfully continued.

  • Post your comments/titles/captions to this picture (both in Spanish and English) and vote for the responses you like. The best answer will be chosen tomorrow on the basis of the greatest number of votes as well as the language accuracy.

  • Pon tu comentario/ título/ pie de foto a esta imagen (ambos en español y inglés) y vota por las respuestas que te gusten. La mejor respuesta será seleccionada mañana, tanto por la cantidad de votos como por la corrección en el uso del idioma.

  • Please, give everyone a chance and only post one caption and no photos.

  • Por favor, deja que todos tengan una oportunidad y pon solo una respuesta, sin fotos.

Please help each other with your English/Spanish sentences. And above all, have fun!

Here is the previous Picture of the Day: A pug's journey

As Julia Roberts (as Elizabeth Gilbert) said in "Eat Pray Love" Who cares about love handles? Lets eat that yummy cake; then, we can buy a new pair of jeans, but just one size bigger.

Como dijo Julia Roberts (en el papel de Elizabeth Gilbert) en "Come Reza Ama" ¿A quién le preocupan los michelines? Comamos ese delicioso pastel; después podemos comprarnos un nuevo par de jeans, solo que una talla mayor.

Perfecto para mi marido: un postre que sabe cocinarse sin ayuda.

Ideal for my husband, a pudding that cooks itself.

¡Dios mío! ¡ Esta es una terrible tentación! Puedo resistir todo, excepto la tentación! Si lo como, significaría dos kilos mas.

Oh my God ! It is temptation terrible ! I can resist everything except temptation ! If I eat it it, would mean two plus kilos.

Good one, Porcu. May I suggest, "This is a terrible temptation! If i eat it,(comma), it would mean two MoRe pounds - sanlee, Apr 21, 2015
Whoops, kilos. (We don't generally use the metric system here. - sanlee, Apr 21, 2015
...si lo como significaría dos kilos mas... nosotros si usamos el sistema internacional de unidades :) - Pablo064, Apr 21, 2015
I know, that's why I corrected my mistake. Kilos is correct. :) Thanks, Tiempo! - sanlee, Apr 21, 2015

They call this cake the 'Jenga Surprise' ... the idea of this food game is that you have to remove a piece of this cake without getting your hands messy! wink Lol The winner is the person who has eaten the most cake by the time that the cake has been finished! wink (ie: that everyone has finished eating the cake!)

Con correcciones: A esta torta la llaman, 'Jenga Surprise' (o 'Jenga Sorpresa')...¡la idea de este juego de comido es que se tiene que quitar un trozo de esta torta sin ensuciarse las manos! El ganador es la persona que ha comido la mayor cantidad de torta hasta el punto de tiempo que todo el mundo ha terminado de comer la torta!

Mil gracias, por todas tus correcciones, a tiempo smile

Original caption: Dicen que esta torta se llama, 'Jenga Surprise' (o 'Jenga Sorpresa') ... ¡la idea de este juego de comida es que se tiene que quitar un trozo de esta torta sin ensuciar las manos! wink ¡El ganador es la persona que ha comido la más gran cantidad de torta hasta el punto de tiempo que toda el mundo ha terminado comiendo la torta!

¿o se puede decir también, " se llaman esta torta?") obviamente no ..

Editor's note/s: ¡Eso lo va a demostrar que no puedes tenerlo todo ...tienes que elegir ! wink / It just goes to show that you can't have your cake and eat it! lol wink

Corrijan mi español si necesario, por favor smile

¡Increíble nuevo aparato de cocina hace de todo menos lo comer para usted!

Amazing new kitchen gadget does everything but eat it for you!

(I never know what to do in Spanish when there are multiple adjectives modifying the same noun. Help!)
