Stuff unrelated to food, wine & spirits that I just feel like posting.
La Plata – Things are a little nutty here at the moment. My boyfriend Henry, whom I’ve talked about, is in the hospital. It’s been quite serious, so I’ve been spending most of my time there, and food has been pretty much limited to cafeteria offerings. Things are looking up however, so within a few… Read More Just a note…
Buenos Aires – Just a link to my photo album from July. For the most part, these are full sized photos of those here in the blog, the rest are others that I liked but just didn’t find a reason to include here. Feel free to copy them, print them, order them, or use them… Read More July Photos
Buenos Aires – The area I wandered into last night in search of Vietnamese food looked charming, so I thought I’d return during the day.

Noticing too that I have been adding a few centimeters to my center section, I decided it was time to get back to working out. So I wandered down the block to the gym that’s… Read More Exercise and all that
Buenos Aires – The off and on drizzle continues here, my houseguests have been asleep for nearly 12 hours, and I’ve decided that reviewing needs reviewing. Maybe it was seeing The Simpsons episode this week where Homer becomes a food critic (great fun by the way). More likely because Anu Garg sent me his weekly… Read More The Critic
Buenos Aires – It’s a rainy day here and I’m catching up on some reading and some thoughts that have been simmering in the back of my mind… The New York Times Magazine recently had a piece (well okay, it was back on May 1st, but I just read it) on the issue of Picky… Read More Picky Eaters
