Welcome to La Palabra Del Día

There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. For the Spanish sentences, edit your posts according to the native Spanish speakers suggestions. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.

Guidelines:

Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game.

Hi amber , we are under siege again modmate. - ray76, Jul 22, 2017

Thank you, Ms Latte. You have been irreplacable, guapa. :) - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

I know Ray. I've been deleting and banning them. I'm informed the situation is being taken care of...:) - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

Answer 1

Cazuela de atún con fideos es mi comida casera preferida.

Tuna noodle casserole is my favorite comfort food.

Me too! - Echoline, Jul 21, 2017

And I'm sure you can make that, Echoline. It's an easy recipe.:) - Sassette, Jul 22, 2017

Awesome job with this, Missy! - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

=) - 00376109, Jul 22, 2017

Thanks Ambette and Coffeelate :) - Sassette, Jul 22, 2017

You're welcome :) - 00376109, Jul 22, 2017

Answer 2

El gumbo es un tipo de cazuela que no tenemos en Nueva Zelanda, pero deseo que lo tengamos. Suerte para Amber

Gumbo is a type of stew that we don't have in New Zealand, but I wish we did. Lucky Amber

Another great picture of food. Fist steak, now this. - Sassette, Jul 22, 2017

Thanks Sassy. Only problem is they keep making me hungry. After Amber stops the food streak in La Palabra Del Día many of us may have to go on a diet :) - jellonz, Jul 22, 2017

Lol, It's not me....jejje You can still make Gumbo, if you can get the ingredients. :) Just imagine, a not hot spicy gumbo on a cold winter night...... Yum! - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

I've tried making it several times Amber, but I'm sure my attempts were a mile from the authentic article, and unfortunately we lack Cajun restaurants here. Still, I'll visit New Orleans one day and over indulge no doubt :) - jellonz, Jul 22, 2017

Mmmm....Looks Soooo good!!! - 00376109, Jul 22, 2017

I'll send the ingredients to you, Jellonz. Just don't throw away the shrimp because it's not pink.....lol - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

It is very good, Coffee. You would love it. :) - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

The shrimp would probably be pink by the time it arrived here Amber, or green. But if you did feel the urge to PM me a genuine Louisiana gumbo recipe I'll have a go sourcing the ingredients locally :) - jellonz, Jul 23, 2017

I can do that, but the shrimp would be fine because you have them packed in ice when they are sent, silly. lol - rac1, Jul 25, 2017

Answer 3

Parece que cada país del mundo tiene su propio tipo de cazuela. ¡Unas son mejores que otras!

It seems that every country in the world has it's own type of stew. Some are better than others!

You right there mate , and the slow cooked ones are the best by far. - ray76, Jul 22, 2017

What about the UK? What is one of their stews? :) - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

A good old fashioned beef stew and dumplings! Delicious on a cold winters night :) And in Louisiana? - billygoat, Jul 22, 2017

That sounds really good! I wish I had all of these recipes. Ours is gumbo. :) - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

They are all on lline Ambs.... just google beef stew and dumplings recipes! - billygoat, Jul 22, 2017

B B C Food Recipes is a good site! - billygoat, Jul 22, 2017

Good job dear =) - 00376109, Jul 22, 2017

muchas gracias cafecita. I wasn't sure whether to use 'algunas' or unas' here. I made the correct guess! - billygoat, Jul 22, 2017

Thanks, Billy! - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

De nada amiga mía x - billygoat, Jul 22, 2017

Answer 4

Actualmente estoy cosechando brócoli, coliflor, y col rizada del jardín, así que paso tiempo registrando mis libros de cocina y el Internet, buscando cazuelas vegetales.

I'm currently harvesting broccoli, cauliflower, and kale from the garden, so I spend time scouring my cookbooks and the Internet, looking for vegetable casseroles.

Sounds sooo good up there in Alaska.:) - Sassette, Jul 22, 2017

That looks fantastic! I wish I had some right now.....only one I didn't have to cook. :) - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

:) Los vegetales son deliciosos! - 00376109, Jul 22, 2017

ca...z...uelas - Hevuelto, Jul 22, 2017

Me too , I have found a little ripper . - ray76, Jul 22, 2017

Of course. Gracias, Hevuelto. - AnnRon, Jul 22, 2017

Answer 5

The table has an assortment of food from French loaves to casseroles, fruits, vegetables and sweets. La mesa tiene un surtido de la comida de barra de pan francés, cazuelas, frutas, verduras y postres.

In British English, it's sweet. - NKM1974, Jul 21, 2017

Couple of things here in English Nkm. If you want to use "from" you really need a "to" as well: "from French loaves to casseroles, fruit etc." Alternatives to "from / to" would be "like" or "including" or "consisting of." - jellonz, Jul 21, 2017

Also most of these foods need to be plural. "Fruit / fruits" could be either, but all the others should be plural unless you are saying there is only one of them (in which case they would need to be preceded by an indefinite article). - jellonz, Jul 21, 2017

I agree with Jellonz. - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

Answer 6

Si pongo suficientes ingredientes diferentes en mi cazuela quizás nadie va a notar que no sé cocinar.

If I put enough different ingredients in my casserole maybe no one will notice that I don't know how to cook.

lol - Sassette, Jul 21, 2017

I guess that could go either way. jeje - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

That's how I feel about soup. Just throw in anything you've got with some broth, and presto chango! it's soup. - AnnRon, Jul 22, 2017

HahahahahA!!! Great idea =D - 00376109, Jul 22, 2017

Answer 7

La mejor cazuela se cocino lentamente durante cuatro o cinco horas .

The best casserole is cooked slowly for four or five hours.

---

The best stew is the French Cassoulet.

Cazuela is the common name given to a variety of dishes, especially from South America. It receives its name from the cazuela (Spanish for cooking pot)

It really looks good. What all is in it? - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

Oh, doh...lol I see the link. :) - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

I've never had one, but it looks and sounds good Ray. - jellonz, Jul 23, 2017

It is an extraordinary feast mate , but I could no longer eat it . - ray76, Jul 23, 2017

Answer 8

No conozco la cazuela, porque en nuestro país no es una comida conocida, pero lei que la cazuela chilena es un guiso casero muy flexible - puedes usar cordero, pollo o cerdo en la receta, pero la versión clásica está hecha con carne de res.

I do not know the casserole, because in our country it is not a known food, but I read that Chilean cazuela is a very flexible homemade stew- you can use lamb, chicken or pork in the recipe, but the classic version is made with beef.

How about "Hungarian goulash " isn't that a form of stew Kat ? - ray76, Jul 22, 2017

According to my opinion it is different - porcupine7, Jul 22, 2017

There is something to be said for these basic recipes. They are my favorites. :) - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

Answer 9

Cuando preparo cualquier tipo de sopa (bueno, excepto una sopa tailandesa, la que incluso yo no creo que deba ser espesa), mi esposa siempre me dice "creía que iba a elaborar una sopa no una cazuela", porque a mí me gusta comer mi comida no beberla a sorbos.

When I make whatever type of soup (okay except thai soup, which even I think should not be thick), my wife always says to me "I thought you were going to make a soup not a stew", because I like to eat my food not sip it.

Although it is normally inelegant to say "comer comida" I thought it might work here due to the point I am trying to make. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 22, 2017

I like it thick too. :) - rac1, Jul 22, 2017

Cajun soups lend themselves to being thick. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 22, 2017

I just thought of an idea for something I've never seen before: chocolate soup made thick for desert. - Sassette, Jul 22, 2017

I make a roast pumpkin soup once a week.So thick your spoon could stand up in it. Great winter food and if you boil up chicken bones for the stock you'll never catch a cold. - jellonz, Jul 23, 2017

Many of my soups start with boiling chicken bones. My white bean soup starts with boiling ham bones though. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 23, 2017

Answer 10

Cuando una madre está enferma, o acaba de volver en casa con un nuevo bebé, con frecuencia sus amigas y vecinas traen cazuelas de varias comidas para la familia.

When a mother is sick or has just returned home with a new baby, often her friends and neighbours bring casseroles of various foods for the family.

In NZ we have a habit of doing this when somebody dies. Not meaning to sound at all morbid, but the loved ones often don't have the time or inclination to cook so a good hearty instant meal seems a good thing to give them. - jellonz, Jul 23, 2017

Absolutely! It's a very caring thing to do. :) - rac1, Jul 23, 2017

Answer 11

Esta noche hice esta cazuela: http://slowcookergourmet.net/slow-cooker-chili-mac/

Tonight I made this stew: Chili Mac

Yum! - rac1, Jul 23, 2017
