Spain is paradise for foodies and one of the top dishes you can never miss is "cochinillo". Where is the best place to have it? The answer is Segovia Spain, just an hour drive from Madrid. You don't just come here for the food, the place is also well-known for its 2000 years old aqueduct which is majestically above the streets and monuments of Segovia city.
After visiting the Roman aqueduct, we went to the restaurant we booked for the "cochinillo".
"Cochinillo" is a suckling pig fed on its mother's milk, between the ages of two and six weeks. The way Spaniard cooked is as a whole, put it in the oven with their secret recipe and served hot with a crispy crust and the best place to have this Spanish cuisine of Castile is in Segovia.
The Restaurante El Cordero is about 10 minutes walk from the Segovia Aqueduct. There are narrow cobbled stone streets and old buildings along the way.
Most of the buildings here are fairly old & rustic so including the restaurant that I am about to dine in – El Cordero.
The restaurant is quite big and separates into a few sections. It serves few types of customer, group tourists on a tour, stumbles on tourists and locals. The group tourists will be given seating in the underground basement.
The decoration of the restaurant is quite fun to see, I like the old lamp hanging on the ceiling and how the owner used fresh vegetable such as pumpkin and squash to displayed at the different corner of the restaurant.
Upon entering the restaurant, you see a tapas bar which is for the local I suppose. There are also a few tables at the entrance for customers with the smaller group. Up to 4 pax only.
For tourists with a bigger group, we need to go down to the basement. It is quite interesting to visit the old building layout in Segovia city. The staircase to the basement is narrow and the wall is decorated with paintings, picture, and posters.
At the basement, there are already few groups of tourists dining. As usual, you see Jamon, the Spanish ham line up at the top of the ceiling.
The first dish is the big bean soup which is also a signature in Segovia as these beans are huge and coming from the nearby town of La Granja de San Ildefonso. We can't really see the beans anymore because it has been mashed so it is easier to drink I guess.
Then follow by the salad consist of olive, fresh onion, and tomatoes.
The main course is the roasted suckling pig and usually best to go with wine. Wine is very cheap in Spain restaurant around 2 euro, many times can be cheaper than soft drinks.
People in Spain have been eating Cochinillo ever since Roman times. It's a popular dish in the Castilla and Leon region but Segovia has the best reputation for cochinillo. If you are not visiting Segovia, you can also find cochinillo in Madrid.
Dessert is ice-cream, super sweet for me so I didn't finish it.
The basement wall is decorated with many pictures, mostly showing the culture and arts of Spain and some famous people.
You see Jamon hanging all over Spain restaurants, at the window display of the restaurants or at the bar counter when you enter.
There are two types of Jamon in Spain, Iberico, and Serrano. Iberico cost a lot more because the pigs are fed with a special diet, such as acorn and herbs and can roam freely. The process of making the ham is long, about 18-24 months and at the third stage of the curing process is the drying stage and this Jamon will be hung by the hoof with ropes. You can also see a plastic cup at the bottom of each ham for the fat/oil dripping.
At the toilet entrance, there are cute pictures at the door to show ladies and gents toilet.
You can also find cochinillo, the Spain style of roast suckling pig near Madrid but Segovia is the "place" for this suckling pig cuisine. Crispy on the outside and tender and flavorful on the inside which melts in your mouth, similar to the Chinese roast suckling pig. If you love meat, this would be a wonderful dish for you and do remember to pair it with a glass of wine.
I would love some of that! Pork is one of my favorite meats, and I'll bet that pig is extra tender.
Pork is also one of my favorite and I love meat so I am really happy to taste this iconic dish in Segovia.
What a neat place to visit. Sounds like you had an amazing trip overall. I think Segovia would be a fantastic place to visit and it is great when you find delicious foods on vacation.
I haven't been to Segovia yet but I do live in Spain, so I might make it there at some point. I live in the South, so Madrid is a good 6 hours drive away. The suckling pig sounds delicious. Unfortunately the other dishes do look like they were made for tourists. Better find a small home owned restaurant than going to a big one where tourist groups go. There is such a difference in the quality of the food.
That restaurant looks like the real deal. I've never had suckling pig before but could eat Jamon all day. Will have to stop by here the next time I'm in Segovia.
Haha, Jamon is really the Spain national dish! I was very surprised to see them hanging all over the restaurant, at the entrance or bar counter or window display. What an interesting sight!
The place was very entrrtaining. There is so much to see and the dish or menu looks new to me. Love to visit this place soon!
You are right, Segovia is a nice place to visit and you can spend a whole day exploring the city. And make sure you have the roasted suckling pig as it is famous in Segovia.
Am yet to visit Segnovia, looks an amazing place to travel to.
Segovia is certainly worth to do a day trip if you are visiting Madrid. A quiet town which is very pleasant to stroll around and one of their top attraction is the 2000 years old Roman aqueduct.
Looks like a very unique experience! What a quaint restaurant too!
You are right, it is quite a unique experience for me to dine in the Spanish restaurant in a small town of Segovia. We don't have so many Spanish restaurant in where I live so it is really great to dine in here. And we don't usually have cellar in Asia so this is another great experience!
the food looks amazing! just wanted to also say your photography is so good, really get a feel for the place from your images.
Thanks for your compliment about the pictures and glad you like them.
The number one dish is the roasted suckling pig which tasted really tender and juicy and the second well-known dish is the big bean soup which usually goes together with the roasted suckling pig.
I love taking in the local culture of places I visit and I find the best way to do that is through the cuisine. From the photos, that soup looks divine and the salad looks fresh. I'd be game!
You are right, traditions and culture are deeply rooted in food and through culinary. We learn so much from the food in Spain and it is the best way to learn about the culture through food.
I love pork, so i'd be willing to try the suckling pig. This restaurant looks cozy and quaint!
The restaurant really have some interesting deco which I quite enjoy, such as huge pumpkins can be seen in every corner.
The restaurant seems to have an old world charm. Looks a nice place to be at.
Hey, you are totally right about it. It is an old fashion European restaurant and feel very cosy too.
If you love pork, then roasted suckling pig won't go wrong for you. The meat is very juicy and tender.
This looks like my type of restaurant! I love Spanish food and Spain in general, and enjoy a good pork dish every now and again!
Spain is the paradise for foodies and one of the must eat dish in Spain is "cochinillo" – the roasted suckling pig and the best place to have it is in Segovia.
That roasted suckling pig and the salad sounds really appetizing and delicious. What a great place to visit!
The salad sounds amazing, but I think I would have a hard time eating the pig. It definitely looks like an authentic dish though.
What a cute little place, I love all your photos. That suckling pig looks amazing. I love trying new things looks awesome!

Waterloo Area Farm Museum - A Memorial to the Michigan Pioneer Farmer
Whenever I pass an old farmhouse on a country road, I usually start to wonder about the story behind it. How many generations lived there? They must have been so proud to build a new home. I ponder what it might be like on the inside. I usually feel a bit sad for the years long past and stories forgotten.
Visiting a place like the Waterloo Farm Museum, between Stockbridge and Chelsea, Michigan, is like looking through a window into the past, an opportunity to soak up the ambience of a weathered farmhouse.
The farm museum is called a "Memorial to the Michigan Pioneer Farmer." Michigan territory had long been thought of as uninhabitable swampland, but some took their chances where the territory became a state which boasted "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you," for a motto.
Johannes Jacob Ruehle came from humble beginnings as a six-year-old German immigrant with his mother, sister and stepfather. After a visit with relatives in Ann Arbor, they boarded a train to Chelsea. Next they bought a wagon with oxen and began their journey on Native American trails
through marshy lands. They were able to purchase eighty acres and a simple log cabin in 1844.
Ten years later, a sitting room was added. This became the first room of the current farmhouse after the log cabin was torn down in the 1880s and the L frame was built.
The little boy called Jacob grew into a man and enlisted with the Union Army. He signed his name in the Americanized form, Jacob Realy. When he returned, he married the neighbor's daughter, Catherine. He opened a cider mill across the road and began his family.
The Realy's farm grew and prospered, marked by their generous sized pantry with lovely cupboards. It saw many a loaf of bread kneaded and coffee beans ground, as well as other baked goods prepared for the family there. Dishes were done in a granite tub and put away into unique pass-through drawers, which could be accessed on the other side in the dining room when it was time to set the table. Such an innovation showed off their prosperity, not to mention the fine dishes and silver in their possession.
The Realy's had seven children. Only the oldest and youngest of the daughters ever married. The four sons lived on the farm until they were quite elderly. Their sister, Sophia, looked after them.
The father, Jacob, was disabled by a wound during the Civil War and was unable to do heavy labor. He lived on the farm until his death in 1916. His wife, Catherine, died in 1919. A member of the Realy family inhabited the farm until 1960, when Albert, the last of the third generation of Realys to live there, passed away. Sometime before that the brothers had sold their property to the state of Michigan to be included as part of the Waterloo Recreation Area.
The state tore down the cider mill and the barn, but an appeal was made to the local citizens for the preservation of the farmhouse. The Waterloo Historical Society was formed in 1962 with the interest in passing on history to the next generation. The farmhouse was lovingly restored by volunteers and many family heirlooms were given by those who wanted to remember their ancestors in a tangible way.
Over the years, the icehouse, windmill, and springhouse were restored. A log cabin was erected in 1976, to replace the original, reconstructed from a log cabin taken apart and brought from the nearby town of Stockbridge. A workshop and granary were added from nearby farms. To complete the historical experience, a few miles down the road from the farmhouse still stands a one-room schoolhouse, called the Dewey School.
The Waterloo Area Farm and Dewey School Museums are both open on summer weekends and for special events. They provide a special look into the pioneer farming days, while preserving history. Find out more about these places at: http://www.waterloofarmmuseum.org/ and their Facebook page.

In the post-match press conferences, Rohit said: "I feel privileged if the people are talking about me on the social media. Of course. People want to talk about me, they will talk about me. But to be honest, what goes in my head is completely opposite. I am here to do something special for the team. Whenever I get an opportunity to play, I always see that I do something special for my country,"
Also, Rohit feels people will always talk about u if you are not able to perform for the team and also those people will accolade about u if u able to put up a good performance for the team.

Vet, 62, Commits Suicide in VA Hospital as Trump Announces New VA Head
By Raymond Draper	 Last updated Mar 29, 2018
As news of a suicide in a Missouri Veteran's Affairs hospital spreads, Trump has announced that wants to reassign his own personal physician to be the new head of the VA.
The John Cochran VA Medical Center released a statement on the death:
"We are grieved to confirm that a Veteran was found deceased in our medical center early this morning. Our deepest sympathies are with the Veteran's family and loved ones, our medical center staff and the members of the community affected by this tragic incident."
Just hours ago Donald Trump announced that he is replacing the current Secretary for Veterans Affairs with her own personal White House doctor in a bid to regain control of the system failing their patients.
Veteran, 62, Took Own Life In Waiting Room
Full details about the victim have not been released to public.
According to St. Louis Police Officer Michelle Woodling, the man took his own life in one of the hospital's waiting rooms at 4:19am local time on Monday morning.
Trump's Announcement Firing David Shulkin
This evening Donald Trump used Twitter to announce the change in leadership at the VA.
Rear Admiral Ronny L. Jackson has been nominated to the portfolio. David Shulkin's firing is immediate, and until the nomination of Dr. Jackson the position will be filled in the interim by Hon. Robert Wilkie of the Department of Defense. Wilies has been involved in White House politics in 2006 under President Bush and was born to a military family. He holds a law degree and has experience as an intelligence officer with the Naval Reserve. Previously, he was the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness under Trump.
I am pleased to announce that I intend to nominate highly respected Admiral Ronny L. Jackson, MD, as the new Secretary of Veterans Affairs….
….In the interim, Hon. Robert Wilkie of DOD will serve as Acting Secretary. I am thankful for Dr. David Shulkin's service to our country and to our GREAT VETERANS!
Admiral Ronny Jackson
Dr. Ronny L Jackson, born in Texas, is rear admiral and physician who served with the US Navy as an emergency doctor during the Iraq war. During his time with the Navy he specialized in submarine medicine and worked with Navy divers.
Jackson joined the White House staff in 2006 and has treated George W Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump. He was officially named the Physician to the President in 2013 by Obama.
Dr. Jackson was the physician who signed off on Trump's physical earlier this year declaring the Presidential health to be "excellent," despite a recommendation that Donald should eat healthier and get some more exercise.
Secretary of Veteran's Affairs
The Secretary of the VA is currently responsible for the direction of 370,000 employees who give care to 20 million veterans.
Suicide Rate of Veterans
In 2013, the VA Department released a study that gave data from 1999 to 2010 and should that approximately 22 veterans died every day by suicide. In comparison, 176 soldiers were killed in combat during that time period. This is almost double the civilian rate. As well, a previous study showed that the Army had a higher suicide rate than the other service branches.
These are the suicide rates for both genders per 100,000 people according to the Clay Hunt Veterans Suicide Prevention Act:
Women who have never served in the military: 5.2 suicides
Women who are veterans or in active service: 28.7 suicides
Men who have never served in the military: 20.9 suicides
Men who are veterans or in active service: 32.1 suicides
In 2014, updates on the previous study showed that on average during that year, 20 veterans died by suicide every day.
Causes have been attributed to PTSD related to combat experience.

Trump Unhappy with Shulkin
Some news media wrongly reported that Shulkin gave a statement saying that Trump should have a "cabinet member that he is comfortable with," but it was later confirmed by USA Today's Donovan Slack that the statement was prepared by a spokesperson and was not approved by Shulkin himself.
One source in the White House allegedly said that there were "distractions" that were causing Shulkin to be ineffective, and that these distractions were "getting in the way of carrying out the President's agenda." This firing follows in the footsteps of Rex Tillerson, who was removed from his post as Secretary of State earlier this month.
The Veterans Crisis Line is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-273-8255. Or, you can send a text message to 838255.
