Casting a little flavor (and a few aspersions) on the world of food, drink, and life

Gonna Make a Brand New Start of It

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” – Marilyn Monroe I first met Mike Stone when he came to dinner at Casa S a few months ago. We didn’t have a huge amount of time to talk, I was, as usual, busy in the kitchen, but… Read More Gonna Make a Brand New Start of It

February Fading

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

The Great Sandwich Hunt 8

The sandwiches, they go on and on and on and on. Picking up from our last round of five contenders, the pickings are getting slimmer. I think. Maybe. We’ll see. Now that’s a lovely thing, isn’t it? Even if it is on white bread and too much of it and it should have been toasted.… Read More The Great Sandwich Hunt 8

Oh the Chickens We Will Eat

Checking in on last week’s dinners including a private party celebrating the birthday of a recent (December) customer with a group of her friends. We also had a nice mix of folk from all parts of the world over last week. Our little “where from?” map is filling in for the month of February. The… Read More Oh the Chickens We Will Eat

92 bus, stops 6 & 7

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

Fast Burgers

This is a tale, a short one, of an attempt at burger bliss here in this land of lack. I was clued in to the opening of Dean & Denny’s, Malabia 1591, corner of Honduras – the site of the very short-lived Monarca sandwich shop that just never quite took off – by friend Liza… Read More Fast Burgers

Dinner in Yellow

Although it wasn’t intentional, looking at the photos from last week’s dinners it seems I was on a yellow kick. Maybe I was low on Vitamin A or something and my subconscious was crying out for attention. Now, last week I mentioned that I was going to try a new technique or ingredient each week,… Read More Dinner in Yellow

My Top in BA. For the Moment.

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.
