🌸🌸 El ejercicio es vida / Exercise is life #306 (ENG-ESP)🌸🌸

Greetings, friends of the Ladies of Hive community. It is a new week of Ladies of Hive activities, featuring two very interesting questions or topics brought to us by @marivic10. I am sharing the link to the contest—Ladies of Hive Community Contest #306—and you are all invited to participate.

Do you think there is a specific age for exercising, or can we work out at any stage of our lives? Do you currently exercise?

I’ve loved participating in sports activities since my school days, but my skin would turn so red so quickly that the teachers would get very worried and make me sit out for a while. My skin would burn very fast whenever I played volleyball, yet I always loved being involved in school sports.
These days, walking in the park is the only daily exercise I do, and I love it.
At 66 years old, walking is the main physical activity I have left. My children also bought me those small half-kilo weights. If dancing counts as a sport, count me in—I simply love moving my body to the rhythm of the music.

So, a combination of walks in the park and playing some music to get moving—not for hours, just for a good while—seems like enough to me.

Share a recipe typical of your country with everyone — a dish that reminds you of your roots.

One of the most iconic Christmas dishes in my native Venezuela is the hallaca. Its origins lie in a profound cultural blending—incorporating Indigenous, Spanish, and African elements—that established the hallaca as Venezuela's most important culinary symbol. The word hallaca is believed to derive from the Guaraní terms ayúa or ayuar (meaning to mix or stir), eventually evolving into the sound ayuaca.

Preparation is complex and begins with purchasing all the ingredients. Typically, several family members join forces to prepare it; however, the stew itself is always handled by the person with the most experience.

For the Stew (Preparing it the day before is recommended)
500 g beef (top round or similar lean cut), cut into small cubes. 500 g pork (lean meat or leg), cut into small cubes. 1 large chicken breast, cooked and shredded or cubed (reserve the broth). 200 g bacon or pancetta, finely chopped. 2 large onions, diced. 1 large red bell pepper, diced. 4 scallions and 1 leek, finely chopped. 4 cloves garlic, crushed. 1 cup sweet red wine (cooking wine or Sagrada Familia style). 2 tablespoons grated papelón (panela/unrefined cane sugar). To taste: Salt, pepper, cumin, and Worcestershire sauce.

For the Dough: 1 kg precooked white corn flour (e.g., Harina P.A.N.). 2 cups lard (or vegetable oil). 3 tablespoons onoto (annatto) seeds for color. Chicken broth (the one reserved from cooking the breast), well-seasoned and warm. To taste: Salt.

For Assembly and Garnishes: 1 to 2 packages of plantain leaves (washed, cleaned, and cut into approx. 30x30 cm squares and smaller strips). 1 roll of kitchen twine. 1 cup pitted green olives. ½ cup capers (rinsed to remove excess salt). 1 cup raisins. 1 large onion, cut into thin rings. 1 red bell pepper, cut into julienne strips (thin strips).

It is one of the dishes that Venezuelans must have on their table at Christmas. They enjoy preparing it as a family; everyone helps, even the youngest ones.

Saludos amigas de la comunidad de Damas De Hive. Una nueva semana en las actividades de las damas de Hive con dos preguntas o temas muy interesantes de la mano de @marivic10. Les comparto el enlace del concurso Ladies of Hive Community Contest #306 están invitadas a participar.

¿Crees que existe una edad específica para hacer ejercicio o podemos entrenar en cualquier etapa de nuestra vida? ¿Haces ejercicio actualmente?

Desde que estudiaba en la escuela me encantaba participar en actividades deportivas, pero mi piel enseguida se ponía tan roja que las maestras se preocupaban mucho y me apartaban un buen rato. Cada vez que jugaba voleibol mi piel se quemaba muy rápidamente, pero siempre me encantaba estar presente en el deporte escolar.
Ya con el tiempo solo me quedan las caminatas por el parque como ejercicio diario y me encanta.
Ya con mis 66 años la caminata es lo que me queda para el cuerpo. También mis hijos me han comprado esas pequeñas pesas de medio kilo cada una. Si bailar se puede considerar una actividad deportiva allí voy anotada, simplemente me encanta mover el cuerpo al ritmo de la música.

imagen.png

Entonces una combinación de caminatas por el parque y poner un rato de música para mover el cuerpo, no paso horas solamente un buen rato me parece suficiente.

🌸🌸

Comparte con todos una receta típica de tu país: un plato que te recuerde a tus raíces.

Uno de los platos más típicos de mi Venezuela en las navidad es la hallaca. El origen de la hallaca es el resultado de un profundo mestizaje cultural que consolidó a este plato como el símbolo culinario más importante de Venezuela; presencia de elementos indígena, española y africana. La palabra hallaca suponen que deriva del guaraní ayúa o ayuar (mezclar o revolver) terminando en el sónido ayuaca.

La preparación es compleja y comienza por tener todos los ingredientes comprados. Por lo general varios integrantes de la familia se unen para su preparación. Eso si el guiso siempre esta de la mano de la persona más preparada.

Para el Guiso (Se recomienda hacer la preparación el día anterior)
500 g de carne de res (pulpa o pulpa negra) cortada en cubos pequeños.500 g de carne de cerdo (magro o pierna) cortada en cubos pequeños.1 pechuga de pollo grande, cocida y desmechada o en cubos (reserva el caldo).200 g de tocino o panceta picada finamente.2 cebollas grandes picadas en cuadritos.1 pimentón rojo grande picado en cuadritos.4 tallos de cebollín y 1 puerro picados finamente.4 dientes de ajo machacados.1 taza de vino tinto dulce (tipo vino de cocina o Sagrada Familia).2 cucharadas de papelón (panela) rallado.Al gusto: Sal, pimienta, comino y salsa inglesa.

Para la Masa1 kg de harina de maíz blanco precocida (tipo Harina P.A.N.).2 tazas de manteca de cerdo (o aceite vegetal).3 cucharadas de semillas de onoto (achiote) para dar color.Caldo de pollo (el que reservaste al cocinar la pechuga) bien sazonado y tibio.Al gusto: Sal.

Para el Armado y los Adornos1 a 2 paquetes de hojas de plátano (lavadas, limpias y cortadas en cuadrados de aprox. 30x30 cm y tiras más pequeñas).1 rollo de pabilo (hilo de cocina para amarrar).1 taza de aceitunas verdes sin hueso.½ taza de alcaparras (lavadas para quitar el exceso de sal).1 taza de pasas (uvas pasas).1 cebolla grande cortada en aros finos.1 pimentón rojo cortado en julianas (tiras finas).

Thank you so much; at this age, walking and dancing seem to be enough. It is a traditional Venezuelan dish. Mexicans say they resemble tamales, but they require more preparation. Best regards.

Muchísimas gracias ya para estas edades el caminar y bailar parece suficiente. Es un plato típico en Venezuela. Los mexicanos dicen que se parecen a los tamales, pero lleva más preparación. Un abrazo

Without a doubt, staying active—whether by walking, lifting light weights, or dancing—is a great way to keep the body moving, regardless of age. And yes, hallacas are delicious; I love them too. Have a lovely evening, my friend,

Sin duda mantener la actividad física al caminar, levantar pequeñas pesas y bailar son rutinas para mover el cuerpo, independientemente de la edad, y si, la hallacas son deliciosas, también me encantan, que tengas una linda noche amiga,

Muchísimas gracias por el apoyo. La mejor del mundo, la hallaca, la que nos une a una tradición y nos mantiene pegados a nuestras costumbres. Dicen que se hicieron más en el mundo entero que en Venezuela. Nuestros hijos la llevan en su sangre. Un abrazo mi querida amiga.

Thank you so much for the support. The hallaca—the best in the world—is what connects us to tradition and keeps us close to our customs. They say more of them were made around the world than in Venezuela. Our children have it in their blood. A big hug, my dear friend.

Your Hallacas are similar in many ways to my Chinese leaf wrapped Zongzi.

Si se parecen bastante y siempre tienen que tener una base en común nuestros antiguos. Es maravilloso mantener nuestra tradición en Venezuela. La hallaca es un plato bastante elaborado. Aquí es con hoja de plátano o de cambur le da un sabor especial. Un abrazo y gracias por comentar y apoyar. Un abrazo.

El Zongzi (粽子) es un platillo tradicional chino elaborado con arroz glutinoso relleno de ingredientes dulces o salados, el cual se envuelve en hojas (generalmente de bambú, caña o loto) y posteriormente se cocina al vapor o se hierve.

They are quite similar; after all, our culinary traditions often share a common foundation. It is wonderful to keep our tradition alive in Venezuela. The hallaca is a rather elaborate dish. Here, it is wrapped in plantain or banana leaves, which impart a special flavor. Warm regards, and thank you for commenting and showing your support.

Zongzi (粽子) is a traditional Chinese dish made of glutinous rice filled with sweet or savory ingredients; it is wrapped in leaves (typically bamboo, reed, or lotus) and then steamed or boiled.
