Henry’s dishes… last sentence on the soup, first sentence on the cabrito, I guess I left it more as that the guests liked both quite a bit – I did too.

Prices rising? Absolutely – anywhere from 35-50% a year since I’ve been here. Sometimes more. Just in sort of a general way, I’d say that when we started Casa S a year and a half ago, buying all the vegetables for a typical weekend ran me about 50 pesos, now they easily run over 100. A few weeks ago we made partridges – the first time I’d made them, about a year or so earlier, they ran me 8 pesos apiece, this time, 18 each. About the only things that aren’t going up fast are beef and milk, which have government price controls on them.

Give it a few more years and who knows, maybe BA will go back to being on of the most expensive cities in the world to live in…

So Dan, you didn’t really say, how did Henry’s dishes turn out? They looked good!

btw
A piece aired today on NPR dealing with Argentina’s inflation, with a focus on food items. Have you been noticing said rise in prices?

thanks

I don’t always leave a comment… trust that my mouth waters at your delicious sounding and looking creations. This one is no different… sigh. Good work and glad to hear it all got done peacefully. Quite a feat in a one-person at a time kitchen! Pura vida – Sally
