“Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the little voice
at the end of the day that says I'll try
again tomorrow.”

Agenda
2. Frase del “A caballo regalado, no se le mira el diente”:
día:
Traducción: When a horse is given as a present, do
not look at the tooth.
Connotación: When someone receives any gift or
present , must do so without questioning the gift
and simply accept it as it is.
Cuando alguien recibe cualquier tipo de regalo o
presente, debe hacerlo sin cuestionar el obsequio
y limitarse a aceptarlo tal como es. La parte final
de la locución proviene de la antigua costumbre
de revisar la dentadura de los caballos para
conocer el estado de salud del animal.

Chicha Fuerte
Chicha Fuerte
• In some cultures the maize is ground, moistened
in the chicha maker's mouth, and formed into
small balls, which are then flattened and laid out
to dry. Naturally occurring ptyalin enzymes in the
maker's saliva catalyses the breakdown
of starch in the maize into maltose.
• (This process of chewing grains or other starches
was used in the production of alcoholic beverages
in pre-modern cultures around the world,
including, for example, sake in Japan).
