This word reminded me that I have a number of homemade video cassette tapes without labels that I have to view to determine whether any of them have value, but the truth is that I don’t know if the only video cassette player that remains is connected to the television, after my daughter moved out and took the good video cassette player with all the Disney videos.

I still have a" Beta" - ray76, Apr 14, 2015

Answer 8

Las mejores frutas y verduras son caseras. Así que ya sabes no fueron envenenados por los pesticidas.

The best fruits and vegetables are home grown. That way you know they haven't been poisoned by pesticides.

You forgot that frutas and verduras are feminine. So, a few changes are necessary. - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2015

They are also plural---so "fueron---" I would probably use "han sido" I use the Pres. Perfect a lot more than most. I guess it's a Spanish thing. - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2015

But "fueron" is still correct. - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2015

Especialmente los tomates :-)! - Jraider, Apr 14, 2015

other option..de esa manera ya sabes que no fueron envenenadAs... :) - Pablo064, Apr 14, 2015

might one have to put something on some of the fruits and veggies to ward off pests? - Sassette, Apr 14, 2015

I agree...if one can do it. - rac1, Apr 14, 2015

True Missy, either that or grow them indoors :) - jim5489, Apr 15, 2015

Answer 9

La tortilla española casera es uno de mis platos favoritos.¡ Las hago rebuenas!

The home-style Spanish omelet is one of my favorite dishes. I make them "real good."

Con queso, cebollas y papas??? - Jraider, Apr 14, 2015

¡Claro que sí! - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2015

But we say "patatas." - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2015

That looks very good! - rac1, Apr 14, 2015

Daniela, is "patatas" Spain Spanish and "papas" latinoamericano Spanish? - jim5489, Apr 14, 2015

looks sooo good. "rebuena" is a new word for me. Thanks from cramming another word into my brain. - Sassette, Apr 14, 2015

Gotta have it someday :) - Raja-jani, Apr 14, 2015

@Jim. You got it right. "Patatas" is peninsular. (How's that for a fancy word for "Spain Spanish?) - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2015

Peninsular, I like that, Daniela. I'm more familiar with hearing "papas" because around here, we have many more people from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic than people from Spain. - jim5489, Apr 15, 2015
