Montevideo in photos, II

2012.Jan.13 Friday

After my little pizza and beer indulgence it was back into the streets… well, first a stop back at the apartment to “freshen up” and take a quick catnap – figuring I wasn’t coming back until after dinner. So, back into the streets and a walk through the areas of Barrio Sur and Palermo, circled [...]

Montevideo in photos, I

2012.Jan.12 Thursday

I needed a break. I realized I hadn’t had a real day off since my trip to New York and Louisville back in April. With a quartet of days looming free, the need to renew my visa anyway, it seemed a perfect time to get away for a short break. My first thought was to [...]

Hacked…

2012.Jan.11 Wednesday

I haven’t disappeared, but am on the road for a few days, new posts when I get back. Unfortunately, some time over the last couple of days someone apparently hacked into the blog and destroyed the Underground Dining Scene page, and who knows what else – could be older blog posts as well. I had [...]

The December Photos

2012.Jan.01 Sunday

2011 Tied Up in a Bow

2011.Dec.30 Friday

Scrambled Story

2011.Dec.21 Wednesday

Sometimes when a recipe, or an object, is named after someone famous, the story is relatively well known. Other times, it’s not. This is going to be a bit of an exploration of the origins of one of Argentina’s iconic dishes, the revuelto gramajo, or “Gramajo’s scramble”. Not only does the legend of the dish [...]

Wanna Happy Ending?

2011.Dec.16 Friday

I’ve been debating writing this post, which perhaps is a sign to myself that I shouldn’t, but, I agreed to. And the truth is, while the experience that I had was not to “my tastes”, there are plenty of people out there for whom it would be exactly what they want, and what they expected. [...]

Transit in BA – Cheap No More

2011.Dec.08 Thursday

One of the common refrains from visitors is to marvel at how cheap things in Buenos Aires “are”. Though, that’s been changing, and more and more I hear from people who are surprised it’s not really so cheap anymore. Taxi fares just went up by 26% this week to a base of ar$7.80 with .78 [...]

November Roundup

2011.Dec.01 Thursday

I realized recently that at the end of each month there are always a bunch of photos sitting in a folder that I haven’t gotten around to writing about because they’re just things that caught my eye or, if they’re restaurant/food related they just don’t quite merit a review. So, perhaps this will be a [...]
