Unfair Enticement

2006.Jan.31 Tuesday

Buenos Aires – This is a bit of a tangent off my usual food posts. But, like many folk, these lovely little packets provide for quick and easy afternoon or late night snacks. I think I’ve been eating them here and there for a couple of decades now! And since introducing him to them, Henry [...]

Flavors of the North

2006.Jan.31 Tuesday

Buenos Aires – We’ve ordered food for delivery several times from Sabor Norteño, La Rioja 186, in Once, but never actually been there. We were wandering the area the other day looking at dresses. You might ask why. And I might tell you. Henry’s niece, Viviana, is coming up on her 15th birthday. Like we [...]

Prescription for Dinner

2006.Jan.29 Sunday

Buenos Aires – We have friends in visiting for the weekend (this is happening more and more, and depending on whom, can be a blessing or a curse – we’re having fun this weekend, so it must be the former). They haven’t come from far away, they’re in from Azul, which is a small city, [...]

Tuna Shakes and Cucumber Sausages

2006.Jan.28 Saturday

Buenos Aires – I’ve been having fun, as summer produce has been appearing more and more at various markets, finding new and different items. Wandering through a local farmer’s market the other day we came across a pile of tunas. Back in the states I knew them as cactus pears or prickly pears. We picked [...]

Protection of the Cabbage

2006.Jan.28 Saturday

Buenos Aires – My Everquest friends will know the allusion of the title. Back in the day, before the game expanded like a muffin climbing out of its cup, Protection of the Cabbage was a druid spell that one spent eons working on getting a copy of, well in advance of ever needing it, but [...]

Care to come up and see my etchings?

2006.Jan.27 Friday

Buenos Aires – I had reservations yesterday. Not the sort that garners me a table at some local dive, but of two very different sort. The first involved random happenstance, after leaving Güerrin, I continued my way down Corrientes headed for the Costanera Sur, or South Promenade. You may remember my brief dip in that [...]

Nature’s Most Perfect Food

2006.Jan.27 Friday

Buenos Aires – I’m not sure that I’ve mentioned it before, in fact I’m fairly certain I haven’t, but I consider pizza to be Nature’s most perfect food. I have evidence for that as well. We could start with the FDA’s (or is it the USDA’s) food pyramid – a base of grain, lots of [...]

Empanadas from the Sea

2006.Jan.26 Thursday

Buenos Aires – Thankfully, I will probably never get tired of sampling empanadas. I say thankfully, because, of course, I’m surrounded by them. It’s not quite a daily battle to avoid biting into these tasty pastries left and right, but sometimes it seems pretty close. You can buy them on the street, you can buy [...]
