El Blog de Carlos

After a long silence, I intend to be back… A lot of stuff (work, holidays, work, moving with the family to guatemala…) has been in the road but I hope to retake this blog in a more regular time. cya.

Long time no post… We are leaving Geneva to go to Guatemala in summer. No, it is not for holidays but to take the Head of the ICRC mission there, so it will be for 2 years or so. Normally, it is quite easy in other missions to change place as our great administration is very useful arranging things. Here, we are on our own and there are so many things that have to be taken care that it is a bit nightmarish. We have a problem to get Laura at school in Guatemala and we are looking for alternatives. Until it is confirmed (the less bad alternative, that is) is quite stressful. At the same time, I am still on charge of the operations in Western Europe and Turkey so my mind is very busy. This said, I have to say that did not see/read lately any of real interest to comment or post. It is not just the absence of it, but it maight be as well that my mind is busy with other pressing issues. I am not worried for my readers, the stats says I do not have a mass of them but I do not want to stop altogether with this blog. So, will keep trying!

Ayer, por primera vez en la historia, hice con Christine unas Fabes. La última vez que intenté hacerlas, fue hace unos 30 años y aún me rio con mis amigos de la catástrofe que organizamos.

Habíamos comprado las fabes y el apaño (chorizo, jamón, morcilla, bacon) en Llanes y se nota que los ingredientes eran buenos porque la verdad no costó mucho trabajo pero salió (modestia aparte) muy rica. Para prueba una foto:

Fabes en Ginebra

La receta, la que nos dieron en la tienda de las fabes, echando también una ojeada a la que tiene José Andrés en su libro de cocina.

Y es cierto… dentro de un par de días emprendemos viaje a Ginebra. Empiezo con los objetivos, presupuestos del próximo año, los niños el colegio, en fin, la vida normal. Cuando vuelva, pondré algunas fotos.

Pues tras Tel Aviv, nos vamos a Ginebra. Por un lado nos apetecía un rato más de terreno, pero en fin. No está tan mal. Muchas cosas: casa, colegios, etc. A ver qué tal va!

Well, I did not get many comments, meaning that I have to make more propaganda of my blog. In the mean time, I’m back in Israel / Occupied territories and the situation is becoming more confuse. Confusion is not always a good thing for stability. There are many doomsday scenarios around and speculation is seen as the privilege of the foreigners.
