2024-12-01

En España, durante la Navidad, cada familia tiene sus rituales especiales. Y cuando la Familia Real viaja a Oviedo por los Premios Princesa de Asturias, hay un dulce que no pueden dejar de probar. Este postre asturiano se ha convertido en un favorito, y es el Carbayones.

El postre favorito de Letizia

En octubre pasado, gracias a la celebración de los Premios Princesa de Asturias, el perfil de Instagram de Casa Real publicó una serie de preguntas. Una de ellas era: "¿Cuál es el almuerzo que no falta en la mesa de los premiados?" Y la respuesta fue fácil: los carbayones.El origen de los carbayones se remonta al 1924. En aquel momento, la confitería Camilo de Blas, ubicada en Oviedo, creó este postre para celebrar la Feria de la Ascensión. La acogida fue tan positiva que la ciudad lo adoptó como propio, y la receta se ha ido pasando de generación en generación. Esto demuestra que lo clásico sigue teniendo valor, sobre todo en fechas especiales.

Características y beneficios del Carbayones

El Carbayones es una insignia de la región, ya que su nombre hace referencia a los habitantes de Oviedo. Esta receta tradicional es un verdadero deleite para los paladares. Los ingredientes son de alta calidad y se combinan de manera perfecta.Para la crema de yema, se utilizan 4 yemas de huevo, el mismo peso de azúcar y agua. Esto da un sabor intenso y cremoso. La base y el relleno están hechos con 1 lámina de hojaldre, 125 gramos de almendras en polvo, 125 gramos de azúcar, 1 huevo talla L, 1 cucharadita de ralladura de limón y 1 cucharada de ron. Estos ingredientes dan un sabor rico y a la vez tradicional.

El proceso de preparación del Carbayones

Primero, forra los moldes con hojaldres. Corta la lámina de hojaldre en 6 trozos y estíralos con un rodillo. Luego, llénalos con la mezcla de almendras, azúcar, yema de huevo, cáscara de limón y ron. En otro bol, bate la clara de huevo hasta que blanquee un poco y combínala con la mezcla anterior.Después, hornea los pastelitos durante 25/30 minutos a 180º. Mientras tanto, prepara la crema. Pesa las cuatro yemas y prepara el equivalente en peso de agua y azúcar. Calienta el agua y añade el azúcar para preparar el almíbar. Bate las yemas y agrega el almíbar poco a poco sin dejar de batir. Luego, calienta la crema a baño María hasta que espese.Cuando los pastelitos están horneados, desmóldalos y ponlos en una rejilla para que enfríen. Luego, cubre los panecillos con la crema y deja reposar durante 2 horas. Finalmente, mezcla el azúcar con el zumo de limón y agrega agua poco a poco hasta que sea consistente. Cubre los carbayones con el glaseado y los introduce boca abajo en el recipiente hasta que tape toda la crema. Deja que se sequen.El Carbayones no solo es un postre delicioso, sino también una muestra de la cultura y la tradición de la provincia. Es un dulce que se puede disfrutar en Navidad y en otras ocasiones especiales, y que siempre trae un sabor especial a la mesa.

Philadelphia is seeing the impact of rising grocery prices and food insecurity. Dunkin’, with its annual Roast Hunger Program, is stepping in to make a difference. Our 6abc Data Journalism team has been closely observing these trends. In this region, grocery prices have increased by three percent compared to the same time last year. As food costs rise, the demand at food banks nationwide also grows. In Philadelphia, one in six people face food insecurity. Dunkin’s program provides crucial funds to local food banks. For Dunkin’ Rewards members, every large hot coffee purchased leads to a $1 donation to the Dunkin’ “Joy in Childhood Foundation”. This foundation supports local organizations like Philabundance, the Food Bank of Delaware, and the Food Bank of New Jersey. Jamie Struwe, the Senior Field Marketing Manager for Dunkin’, emphasizes how easy it is for customers. Many are already on the app, making ordering a breeze. Just grabbing a coffee can have a significant impact. “This little cup of coffee really goes a long way and brings joy to those in need this season,” she says. The campaign runs through December 15. Dunkin’ is also a partner in our annual 6abc Telethon. Join us at 4 p.m. on Giving Tuesday, December 3, and learn how you can help a neighbor and make a difference.

How Dunkin’ Helps in the Fight Against Hunger

Dunkin’ has long been committed to addressing food insecurity. Through its Roast Hunger Program, they are making a tangible impact. By donating $1 for every large hot coffee purchased by Rewards members, they are able to provide much-needed funds to local food banks. These local food banks, such as Philabundance, the Food Bank of Delaware, and the Food Bank of New Jersey, play a crucial role in feeding those in need. The program not only helps those directly affected by food insecurity but also brings a sense of community and hope. It shows that even a small act like buying a coffee can have a big ripple effect in the fight against hunger.

The partnership with local organizations is a key aspect of Dunkin’s efforts. By working together, they can reach a wider audience and provide more assistance. This collaborative approach ensures that the resources are distributed effectively and that those in need receive the help they deserve. Dunkin’s commitment to making a difference is evident in every aspect of the program, from the donations to the community outreach.

The Impact on Philadelphia

In Philadelphia, where one in six people are food insecure, Dunkin’s program is particularly important. The rising grocery prices have put a strain on families and individuals, making it difficult to put food on the table. Dunkin’s initiative provides a lifeline to those facing food insecurity. It helps to alleviate some of the financial burden and ensures that people have access to nutritious food.

The Senior Field Marketing Manager, Jamie Struwe, highlights the convenience of the program for customers. With many already on the app, ordering a coffee becomes a simple and seamless process. This makes it easy for customers to contribute to a good cause without any added hassle. It shows that everyone can play a part in making a difference, no matter how small their action may seem.

During the Campaign Period

During the campaign running through December 15, Dunkin’s is making a significant impact. The donations are pouring in, helping to support local food banks and the communities they serve. It is a time when people come together to show their support for those in need. Dunkin’s is not only providing financial assistance but also raising awareness about food insecurity.

As a partner in the annual 6abc Telethon, Dunkin’ is further amplifying its message. On Giving Tuesday, December 3, at 4 p.m., people have the opportunity to learn more about how they can help a neighbor and make a difference. This collaborative effort brings together the community and shows the power of collective action in addressing social issues.

Last night at The Sterling Inn was quite an experience. I found myself going to bed hungry despite having had a shared appetizer, an entree, and half a frozen pizza and half a bag of chips. To quell my hunger before bed, I indulged in some fruit roll-ups, Fruit by the Foot, and Gushers. But that only lasted until around 6 am when I woke up ravenous and had to seek out breakfast.

Morning Routine and Connections

I was the first one down at 6:30 am when the breakfast area opened and quickly attacked an English muffin, two bowls of cereal, and two cups of hot apple cider. Along with Firebird and one of the ladies from the previous night, I had breakfast. Later, Flamethrower joined us and we basically switched places. I returned to lying in bed and playing with my phone while Flamethrower ate. She also connected with Firebird and they discussed their plans for the next few days.

Zeroing and Food Packages

By this point, most of the folks in the hostel were leaving. We were zeroing, which meant we could put off our chores. I started going through my food bag and remembered that Flamethrower and I had received some packages. I headed down to pick them up. Flamethrower's box was full of food and very heavy, while mine only had new socks, a cell phone screen protector, 3 backpacker meals, and some snacks.

Washing and Laundry

I put the screen protector on my phone with excitement. Then, looking at the new socks made me feel guilty, so I washed the pair I wore that day in the sink. It took over 20 minutes for the water to stop running dark brown and turn light brown. I declared "mission accomplished" and threw the socks in the laundry bag with other items. Around this time, Smoke, the darker-colored kitten, came in for attention and playtime. I used the string from the laundry bag to play with her, and soon her sister Snow joined. They then had a major wrestling match on the third floor.

Lunch and the Hot Tub

We decided to go to lunch at 11:30 and ordered nachos. At first, I wasn't too interested, but then I joined Flamethrower in the appetizer. We were told the small nachos were enough for two, but we ordered the large as we're thru-hikers and were told it was enough for 4. The nachos came in a large plate, and we quickly devoured them. After that, we got our burgers and fries (or onion rings for Flamethrower) and finished those too. We paid the bill almost exactly an hour after arriving. Then we spent an hour in the 20-person hot tub, enjoying the warmth. We debated coming back for dinner just for another soak.

Air Mattress and Toiletries

I took my air mattress, a towel, and a water bottle to the bathroom to wash it. It was dirty from dirt and I had been sleeping on it since my last one went kaput. After washing it, I realized I forgot my razor. Flamethrower helped me by bringing my toiletry bag. I was in the shower for a long time, and by the time I got back, Flamethrower had finished our laundry and was bringing it back.

Chores and Conversations

I dressed and sorted the laundry. Flamethrower noticed two things were missing and found one unwashed in her pack and the other in the laundry room. I smelled some of my laundry and decided it needed another cycle. I also debated taking my tent and pack outside and spraying them down with the hose but was afraid they wouldn't dry. Instead, I took our wet shoes outside and sat them in the sun to dry.

Meeting Boomboom and More

Around 5 pm, I ran into Boomboom and had a chat. They had encountered the injured man, George, and helped by staying with him and even carrying him to the helicopter. We compared notes and I asked about the whistle. Boomboom was impressed that the whistle could carry so far. I also wondered why Inchworm didn't have a whistle. Boomboom, Crash, and two others were going to dinner, while Flamethrower and I were still doing chores and not hungry yet. I later bought a pint of spicy strawberry habanero pretzel ice cream and a frozen hamburger for dinner.

End of the Day

As I continued to pack and repack my things, the kitties joined us and we gave them all the cuddles. The rest of the night passed uneventfully, and soon we were off to bed, planning to be up by 7 and out by 8. There was more logging traffic on the road, and I slept a bit fitfully, dreaming about hiking the 100-mile wilderness. Flamethrower also reported not sleeping well.
