An Interesting Series

 

Hi, the truth is that I feel very repetitive with my historical type recommendations, I think I will have to look at other things!

But this series is too good if you like history and medicine, it's called "Call the Midwife". I started watching it when I became pregnant for the first time. I needed to understand what childbirth was like and what I was going to face.

The series provides a historical and social perspective on childbirth in the second half of the 20th century in a marginalized neighborhood in England.

Created by Heidi Thomas and based in Memoirs of Jennifer Worth. The serie has 11 seasons, but on Netflix there are only 5. I hate netflix for this, it always does the same thing.

Each chapter shows the case of a woman's childbirth, which is attended by a nurse. They deal with migration, public health and sexually transmitted diseases. It is very interesting to see how the way of understanding childbirth has changed.

I recommend watching it, maybe not every season because it takes a long time. But some chapters. Independent if you want to be a mother, it is interesting the way nurses treat women, much more personalized than in these modern times.

Hi, today tell us about food that I really like, this is: “La Cazuela”. Is a typical Chilean food. It´s a soup that can have beef (ossobuco) or chicken with potatoes, rice, green beans, onions, garlic and parsley on top. I prefer with chiken. It´s very easy to do. You need some kind of meat, vegetables (pumpkin and corn obligatorily), water, and a big pot of course. The first step is brown the meat with the onion. Then you add the vegetables, rice and continue to gild, seasonings with salt and pepper (or secret ingredient). Later, you fill the pot with water and add the corn and the cut pumpkin. It´s easy to cook it, but making it tasty is difficult. I don´t cook it jijijiji.   My boyfriend´s mother makes it. I love it, because is a very complete meal and leaves you very satiated. It´s not recommended to eat it every day. Only a few times a month, has many calories.

Post 4. Changes to my study Programme

  To study archaeology at the University of Chile, one must enter a common plan that lasts two years. Then in the third year one chooses a specialization. You can choose between: Social Anthropology, Archaeology and Physical Anthropology. In my first study, in 2004, I chose Physical Anthropology. This mention has an approach that mixes anthropology and biology. It is very interesting, and in Chile it was a relatively new career, but with many innocent projections.   At that time, we had branches in medicine. I had a year of anatomy with the medical students. It was really a challenging and unique experience, because I was totally humanistic. I always say that, because really the change between anthropology and medicine is too much. The level of study is very different. You really have to have a big brain to be a doctor. Anyway... I had a hard time but I passed the courses. Currently, Physical Anthropology does not have subjects in medicine and they have adapted the contents to fit th

My favorite food

  hello, today I want to tell you about the best food in the universe: French fries. First of all, potatoes are the best ingredient in the universe. Starting with that, everything that comes out of it or what is made with it will be amazing. But the best thing is French fries. The best thing about fries is that they are very easy to make. You have to peel them, or if you like them with skin, just cut them in an elongated shape. Fill a pot with oil and wait until it is very hot to fry them. I like them because they are natural and originate from the south of Chile. Chilotas potatoes are really delicious and have incredible flavors. They are so simple that they can be served with anything. Let's make one thing clear: potatoes are not an accompaniment to anything. They are by themselves. You can put ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese, avocado, etc. on them. The best thing is that they are sold everywhere, and of all types! You just have to make sure it is not in a place where t
