I ate a wonderful tortilla just now. I sure was hungry!!!
I caramelized the onions while I talked with Leticia. She is not in Santiago as she has 2 brothers who are very ill. She is aware that they will both die soon but has the way of thinking of many people who accept that death is part of living.
She is now in Pucón (the same place where Tania lives now). The brother who lives there has been in dialysis for over 10 years. Leticia says that he looks as if he is on his deathbed now.
I know by my own experience that dialysis can be a torture. My mother was on dialysis for some years until she discovered that it was legal to stop having it. Then she called us all, talked to us and decided that she would not go into that torture any longer. A few days later she died. And now medicine can have terminal patients go through a painless path. So she did it.
But I should be talking about the tortilla instead of talking about death.
While I was caramelizing the onoins, I discovered that I was too hungry to wait for it all. So I made a toast, picked part of the onions and ate them with the toast and finished the tortilla.
It came out delicious!
As I had eaten bread I could only eat part of the tortilla. So I saved some for later. Maybe after my nap. Because it is nap time, friends.
See you later

Lately I eat more eggs and dishes made with eggs and veggies than too much meat. It has nothing to do with the animals of the world. But too much meat does not agree with me any longer.

@LadyDuck When I was young I ate lots of red meat, pork and lamb. Now I still like them but once in a while and in small amounts.

@marguicha Same as you, I eat more eggs and fish. I still like chicken, not so much red meat.

As we get older people our age start to die. Leticia´s brothers must be well over 70. And they all had a harder life than the one I had.

Caramelized onions are delicious. I often make some for a side to a steak.

I make tortillas and omelettes about just everything. They are a wonderful way of disposing leftovers.
