It was a short four days in Montevideo, but I packed a lot of eating in. There wasn’t a lot else to do as it poured rain and howled wind most of the time. Luckily, I don’t mind checking out restaurants, you know? I already covered a couple of new chivito uruguayos in a post a… Read More Montage Montevideo
How does the Chivito Uruguayo stack up? We’re off, today, to the República Oriental del Uruguay, or, just Uruguay. Probably about a decade ago I got into an online “discussion” with an NYU student spending a year abroad in Argentina, who, in a misguided, early woke attempt, went into an online rant about the racism of… Read More An Oriental Sandwich
All food, all the time, no? I really didn’t do much else on my return to Lima for three days – a single visit to the city’s art museum for an exhibit on Incan culture. I liked the bowl pictured at the top of the page. On to the food! Bam Bam y sus Conchas… Read More Lima, Round 2
Okay, so I’m behind, because I just decided not to spend time while on vacation posting on the blog. For those who follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen a good portion of this. After three days in Lima, I headed up to Trujillo, where Henry’s from, to spend a little over a week with… Read More North to the Coast and the Mountains!
We were off! It’s been a bit since we got away for a few days to just relax together. It was also a bit of a mistake, in that I had a senior moment, having booked a private party for tomorrow, and we planned our trip around it, but I’d somehow missed rescheduling it for… Read More The Other Side of the Mountain
Just back from six days in São Paulo. Initially planned as a solo getaway with the intent to get to a bunch of the “50 Best”, “Michelin Star”, or simply highly recommended by friends in the know kind of restaurants. The kind of places that Henry has little interest in, so I end up not… Read More Standing Out in São Paulo
I’ve been informed by my other half that I need to go back to my various wandering day trips and stop spending so much time at home. A vestige of the last two pandemic years. And, I have missed doing those, it’s just not been easy to motivate myself to get back into them. But,… Read More A Day in Lanús
Last year, along with many other folk in the “foodie” world, I eagerly watched the first season of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy. I enjoyed the scenery and the food, especially the food, and I liked that in each of the six episodes, at some point or another, he took the time to learn how to… Read More Tucci #4
