I came home and found that my wife had made a big pot of hot dog chowder.
I know it sounds gross. But when I was a kid this was something my mom found the recipe for in a ladies magazine -- she was always looking for new recipes in those things. She made it for us, and lo and behold it turned out pretty good. When I got married it was one of just a few dishes that I asked for my wife to learn to make from my mom. Of course we don't have it very often and I have no idea what prompted my wife to make it today. But I'm glad she did. Not so much because it's all that great, but because of the memories associated with it. You see, I can't eat it without thinking about my mom. And my mom has been gone 2 years now, so it was good to just sit down on a cold evening with a bowl of hot chowder, and remember her.
"Claro?" is just a way of asking if I was right. It can mean any of the things you all suggested: clear, true, right, correct or even yes. Of course, as it turns out I wasn't right. So, the answer is "No." whether you are writing in English or Spanish.
Last night I was meeting some old friends and dining out with them at a restaurant which specializes in cooking oxtail. In fact, their oxtail soup is the most famous one in Jakarta. Here's what I had: slow cooked oxtail soup and white steamed rice with belinjo crackers. The meat of the oxtail is so tender it practically melts in your mouth while still retaining some texture. The unique aroma of cloves and nutmegs is what make it really special.

well, at least in Indonesia "oxtail" is normally tail of cow, not of ox. Anyway, all cows in Indonesia when slaughtered are done in halal way, so that would make oxtail halal.
