Stuff unrelated to food, wine & spirits that I just feel like posting.
There I was, left on the corner of Santa Fé and Coronel Díaz, where I’d left off on my last pizza series post. Across the street, two cafes, while both offer pizza on their menus, it isn’t their raison d’être, so Ristretto and Tolón, unless someone tells me otherwise, got scratched off the possibles list.… Read More 92 bus, stops 6 & 7
It’s an ever changing thing to answer the question, “What’s your favorite… X?” It’s also probably the most common question I get asked both by e-mail and in person by guests at Casa S. Recently, luxury travel magazine The Address asked me the same and gave me a whole bunch of pages to answer the… Read More My Top in BA. For the Moment.
Pretty slim pickings on the leftover photos from January. First off, a new little project that, at least for the moment, I’m having fun with. I get asked all the time where our guests at Casa S come from, so I started actually keeping track. And while it doesn’t indicate percentages, I’ve started posting a… Read More January’s Passing
Very few photos for the monthly round-up, I was good about using them this last month. That, or maybe I just didn’t take as many.

It’s going on two years since I wrote up my much referenced post on the local freshwater fish around here. At the time I had plans to continue on and cover the various ocean fish in the area as well, plus offer up various ways of preparing all the different catch o’ the day that… Read More Little Fish in the Ocean So Blue
Before we get to the meat of the post, so to speak, for those who didn’t see it, Casa SaltShaker got selected by CNN Travel as one of 10 great restaurants in Buenos Aires! Strangely, out of the other 9, I hadn’t heard of 3 of them and have only been to 3 others… hmm.… Read More November’s Passed
