Just a look back at last week’s dinners. I’ve been sketching out an idea for a many-layered lasagna for several weeks now and trying out the components with each other, and it was finally time to spring it on guests. It was my favorite dish of the week, Henry hated it, I haven’t heard back… Read More A Very Peculiar Lasagna Indeed
A round-up of the places we ate at in Ushuaia that are worth mentioning for one reason or another. I’m leaving out grabbing sandwiches at the very cool Xpresso Café Gourmet (Laserre 108 just off San Martín), where we also tended to grab excellent coffee in the morning; a couple of late night snacks on… Read More Ushuaia Eats
Rather than post a zillion photos from our four day trip to Ushuaia, I’m going to do this in videos. This was my second trip and Henry’s first. My original trip I spent a bit more time writing about here (and following posts). This time I selected out about a hundred photos from nearly a… Read More Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, and Penguins
Just some quick thoughts on last week’s dinners. We’re off on a well deserved (we think) break in the far southern reaches of Argentina after a very busy end of year. Combining the idea of a classic tuna causa with our roasted beet causa, and I popped up at some point in my musings with… Read More Rethinking Some Fish Dishes
A couple of weeks ago I wrote up Trattoria Olivetti, a real find in the Italian world of food here in town, and hoping against the odds, I decided I’d continue checking out spots in “Little Italy”.

So, welcome to week five of Spain’s version of Top Chef. We left off, not surprisingly, at week 4 with the elimination of the misogynistic chef Borja, and we weren’t at all upset to see him go. This week starts with the announcement that there will be no Trial by Fire, which means, also, no… Read More Spain’s Top Chef – Episode 5
Just a quick post on last week’s dinners – a couple of new dishes made their debut. Two different menus once again – one for the two holiday nights of the 31st and 1st and another for the 2nd through the 4th. Lots of requests on the latter for pescetarian, so we went that way… Read More Starting off the New Year
Although in yesterday’s post I took a look back at the year as a whole, we haven’t quite finished with varied and sundry moments of December. First up, the last full week of dinners for the year – two menus, one for the 24th and 25th, another for the 26th through the 29th. Yes, six… Read More All I Want For Christmas (Week)
