So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Mercado Del Puerto In Montevideo

By Jonny Blair


I love the global and diverse appeal of markets the world over. Montevideo has it's fair share and I visited about 4 or 5 markets in the city during my stay there. Whether it's a food market or a goods market, I love my visits to them.

The best one for food was the trendy "Mercado Del Puerto", situated down by the harbour in the Old City (Ciudad Vieja). That particular area of Montevideo is apparently a "no-go" area at night for lone foreigners due to poverty and robbery, so my hostel mate Wesley and I decided to eat there just before dark. However we also did an Irish Pub on the way and I later walked Panny Yu to her hostel in that area after I had moved in with my Uruguayan family. The market was safe and cosy and is mostly indoors. Trendy restaurants serving typical Uruguayan barbecue food and local beer are the norm. The atmosphere is fantastic.

You won't get lost in the market - it's a an easy square layout with an abundance of restaurants and bars. Take your pick then sit down anywhere you want and order a beer and some food. It's that easy and it's that relaxing! I went to a restaurant called La Maestranza and was served by Natali.

You have a few options for beer, I chose Patricia one of the local Uruguayan beers and it went down well. Buy it individually by bottles and share it - this saves it from getting hot which was a hot time when I visited.

At the entrance to Puerto Del Mercado. We went there by bicycle, hired from the hostel and you pay a guy to look after the bike - this seemed to be the safest option.

You choose what you want from the many items on the menu - as much or as little as you want (and you can buy more if its not enough) and they fire it on the barbecue and cook it in front of you. When it's ready they put it on a plate and you share it. Wesley and I both had similar tastes so no arguments! We chose Chorizo, Morchillo, Salchincha and Rincon - 4 types of cooked (pork or beef) sausage and meat. You get bread and sauce to eat them with.

With your barbecued meal you get sauce and some garnish and crackers - you don't pay for this - it's free - you only pay for the meat and the beer so leaving a small tip is a good idea.

I'm never far from drama however and while this was all happening, a local video crew notice I'm foreign, and hear my accent so they come over and make a video of me. I had only started to learn Spanish and wasn't great at it. But they ask me what I think of Montevideo. I said that I love the food, I come from Irlanda del Norte and I liked watching Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez in the 2010 World Cup. It was all over in a flash and I got on with my dinner. It was funny yo be interviewed as you can tell the camera crew are giggling at me!

A beer cost around 100 pesos and for the food it's best to do a pick and mix option which gives you variety and saves a bit of money as you are buying in bulk. The menu is straight forward and no problem with ordering.

To summarise, Montevideo is excellent for barbecued food, known locally as Parillas and you should head to the excellent Mercado del Puerto to try it!

PEMF Therapy For Horses: 3 Prohibited Foods To Know

By Robin Setser


Horses are some of the strongest animals in the world, but this doesn't mean that care shouldn't be given. Pet owners understand that some foods are simply not allowed, since they can create problems related to digestion and, in some cases, even worse. However, information of the highest caliber is required, and those who are knowledgeable about PEMF therapy for horses can help. Keep these 3 foods in mind, as well as way from your pet's regimen.

First of all, you should be mindful of the type of hay that your horse consumes. Specifically, you should remove any kind of moldy hay from the stable, since this product has been spoiled can result in negatively impacted lungs. This product should be fresh, according to companies like Assisi Animal Health, before it is fed to these animals. One can argue that PEMF therapy for horses can help those who have consumed this, but please consult your veterinarian ahead of time.

Next, vegetables that cause gas should not be given to your horse. While these are fine for humans to consume, the biology of horses is far different, which you probably already know. In any event, to prevent any long-term health problems for your steed, make sure that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage are kept out of equation. Even though some veggies are nutritious, in this respect, others should be kept out of the equation.

Chocolate is another dietary no-no that your horse should not be given. Even though many people associate the dangers of this sweet with dogs and cats, it doesn't exactly do steeds any favors either. As a matter of fact, it can lead to physical problems later on down the road, followed by death in the most extreme cases. In any event, chocolate should be kept away from your pet's regimen, for the sake of their condition in the long term.

Hopefully this has given you a better understanding of what to do, as far as horse care is concerned. Owning this type of animal can be a rewarding venture, but it's not without its responsibility. Your horse's diet is just one of the most important factors, and the truth is that there are different products that are harmful even if they don't seem like it on the surface. Educate yourself, and your skill set as a pet owner will become stronger.
