Walking with Sam - Andrew McCarthy
A Father & Son Journey of Spain’s Camino de Santiago Spain’s Camino de Santiago, an ancient spiritual walking pilgrimage, now trendy, has been the inspiration for many books and movies. I have read or seen many of them. I love Spain. I was already familiar with the new identity actor Andrew McCarthy, of Brat Pack fame, had forged as a travel writer, having read a little of his work. This book is a chronicle of McCarthy’s second Camino de Santiago journey, this time with his late-adolescent son, Sam. There are strengths and weaknesses to this book. It takes one to know one, but McCarthy comes across as a real navel gazer. What’s more, his son comes across as at times monosyllabic, somewhat childish and Tik Tok addled – but that seems real.

An Oleato is simple to make at home.
Make your favorite cup of coffee or espresso. You can froth oat milk in a carton, bottle or cocktail shaker. Shake the oat milk with the tool of your choice. Shake it! Place the frothed oat milk in the microwave in a cup to heat for a minute. After taking it out of the microwave, add one teaspoon of good quality olive and stir. Add the frothed oat milk with the olive oil to the coffee. Those fancy frothers are nice but you don’t need one. Unless you find one at a yard sale. #oleato
