Stuff unrelated to food, wine & spirits that I just feel like posting.
It was one of those short periods where everything kind of happened all at once. Not only did we have a full complement of dinners the last two weeks, but, let’s see… We had Descubre Perú, El Dí del Gourmet, BA Food Week, La Semana del Malbec (and El Día del Malbec), and La Primera… Read More Week o’Culture
It’s been awhile since I spent a day up in Tigre and the last time was on a Monday and we found that all the museums that we wanted to drop in on were closed – should have thought of that in advance, it’s the standard here in Argentina. I’m going to leave the meal… Read More Re-Enter the Tigre
March has marched away and there’s little to say about it in hindsight. Spent a Sunday wandering the Botanical Gardens and snapping photos, trying out different manual settings on the camera, the only interesting shots of which were a couple of a stand of bamboo. Oh my, such excitement! Business continues to boom, we’re still… Read More Time Marches On
Picking up the pace a little, at least in terms of posting, I’m covering six spots this time around. It also helps when several someones join me as we can hit a few places in a row.

Some of you may remember that over the last year or two I took on starting the process of updating the dining section for Fodor’s BA guide. It’s kind of a new arena for me – I had a loose connection with the territory back in the days when I was reviewing restaurants for Time… Read More Steaking Out the Territory
Sometimes a week comes up that a whole lotta stuff seems to pile on and make things just a touch more interesting. Yes, that’s the right word. It’s my own fault, as I’ve pointed out before I don’t really screen who’s coming to dinner. I mean, I do, but I don’t. Yes, if someone comes… Read More No Pressure
It’s time for that monthly extravaganza of photos that didn’t find a home in a post over the last weeks. Only not much of an extravaganza this month as there are only four photos outstanding – not counting a few I took of buildings wistfully thinking it might be nice to move into a house… Read More February Fading
