WEEKEND DISCUSSION 7/2/20: Telenovela Kitchens and Food
How important are kitchens and food in Caray’s favorite
Mexican telenovelas?
Are they really reflective of the current cuisine, or only
in the eyes of the writers and producers?
COCHINITA PIBIL WITH RED ONIONS
What about
telenovelas de época? Did anyone cook and serve meals in Amor Real, Pasion or Alborada? Ah, but then there is El Hotel de los Secretos, the Mexican
version of Upstairs/Downstairs, so of course the kitchen had to have a central
role, which included chopping onions, burning bloody clothes and poisoning tea.
Has street food played any importance? Think Un Refugio Para el Amor and Lorenzo’s bicycle Taco business, prepared in Estela’s kitchen; think Amores Verdaderos and Nikki eating an Elote from a street vendor for the first time.

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 6/25/20: "My amor, por favor" - the language of telenovelas
Hello, my lovely Caray mates!
In a previous Weekend Discussion, many of you mentioned as the main reason for starting to watch novelas the need to learn Spanish. For me it was the other way around, I only learned Spanish because I started watching novelas, as a ten year old.
I never really needed to use the language until a year or so ago, when I changed jobs. Working in a hotel you're in contact with all types of nationalities, but my hotel has A LOT of Spanish speaking clients.
One night I was tending to four lovely Mexican ladies, who had been taking a trip to Paris for the last couple of weeks. They were celebrating one of the ladies 60th birthday and I started chatting with them in my so and so Spanish. They thought I spoke rather well (they were being nice) and I explained the source of my Spanish skills. At one point I offered to bring them a bottle of wine and since they were reluctant to accept, I added: "solo un poquitito" (just a tiny bit). They started laughing and said/ "This is such a telenovela expression."
Because REAL PEOPLE DON'T NECESSARILY SPEAK LIKE TELENOVELA PEOPLE apparently!

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 6/18/20: Evils and Anvils…Too Much? Too Little?
 |
| Picture provided by Doris! |
In 70 BC, when writing about law and crime, Marcus Tullius Cicero opined, “Let the punishment be proportionate to the offenses.” And how many times has that happened (or not) in Telenovelalandia?
We can identify villains from the inception of the TNs and OH! how we tend to grit our teeth and throw nerfazos at them; though we know that their evil ways and crimes will only get worse as the story evolves. They plot, they lie, they prey on their victims mercilessly…and we hope that karmageddon comes sooner than later (sometimes to no avail).
For this week, we want you to delve into the villians of the past (or present) and the karmageddon which befell them. Who got what was coming to them and what did they get? Was it too much, too little, too quick?
If you need a refresher about some of the villains and their karmageddon, take a look at the index posted early last week of Karmageddon pages posted by Urban Anthropologist (thank you, Urban!!).

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 6/3/20: The Toddlers, Tots, Tweens & Teens of Telenovelalandia
(Sorry for the alliterative title. Blame coffee... ☕
And I hope I've posted this correctly.
Disclaimer: Patio team captains, please go in and change whatever needs to be changed, or let me know, so I can do it.)
While some telenovelas have children as the main trope/plot propeller of the series, other telenovelas have children as secondary
characters. Some of them stick in my
head for-ever. Some are great little
actors, some are a bit … wooden, some are as annoying as chigger bites, and some don’t do much at all except act as a
set prop or plot propeller by their sheer existence.
So this week, please share with us the telenovela kids & kidlets that you
remember fondly. Or not-so-fondly. 👼👿
Below are some I can think of , and there are probably more
that I have blotted out of my memory for the sake of sanity.
My picks, off the top of my head:
