@oscar6868 Welcome, Oscar! I love Spanish tortillas, also. Tuve la suerte de pasar 5 días en Madrid el año pasado. ¡Ahora quiero volver! (Tengo primos en Chile, pero siempre usamos el inglés juntos.)

@Linda Clover hi Linda! I'm also TRYING to start memorizing a bit...and it makes me VERY nervous. Tiny bits every day (or tiny "delicious marshmallows", as my friend @Juan Carlos Olite says).

@Natalie Peh You're right! Grieg needs a party hat for his birthday. I wonder what kind of cake he'd like? I bet @Sindre Skarelven could make him a delicious cake.
