http://www.saltshaker.net/20051125/macrobotics-robotic-macrobiotics Casting a little flavor (and a few aspersions) on the world of food, drink, and life Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:28:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 http://www.saltshaker.net/20051125/macrobotics-robotic-macrobiotics#comment-2125 SaltShaker » Blog Archive » The Steam Line Fri, 29 Sep 2006 13:28:45 +0000 http://www.saltshaker.net/20051125/macrobotics-robotic-macrobiotics#comment-2125 [...] Instead, I headed not far away to Lotos, Córdoba 1577, also in the Centro area.
