Another month has passed and it’s time for a look at the scattered photographs of my life that went unused. Last September it was all spicy mac ‘n cheese and Montecristo sandwiches, experiments with Peruvian dishes, graffiti covered cars, and making empanadas. So what does September 2013 have to offer? Let’s take a look: Let’s… Read More Remembering September
The last two weeks there was a minor buzz out there for “BA Food Week” (which should have had an “s” on the end, but doesn’t). It’s an annual event that started I think just a couple of years ago where various restaurants in town offer up a prix fixe lunch and/or dinner at a… Read More Prix Fixe Lunch Deals

I’ve noticed that over the last year and a bit a sudden spate of openings of new cafes and pastry shops and bakeries here in my neighborhood. And it’s… Read More Another Quartet of Minis
I mentioned awhile back that I’ve reached the point where I feel like we have enough solid recipes on file that I don’t need to be experimenting with new dishes for the majority of courses every week and that I was going to start focusing on one at a time. That sort of went by… Read More Rethinking “Spicy Red”
Oh do we have a range of pizzas, both in style and quality this time around, as we pick up crossing the border between Flores and Floresta from where we left off not far from Plaza Pueyrredón. Just a few steps further along Av. Rivadavia and on the opposite side of the street (which technically… Read More 92 Bus, Stops 32 – 37
