A little look back at last week’s dinners, and quite the international crowd over the course of the week with folk from Angola (possibly our first from there), Italy, Israel, Lebanon, Argentina, Mexico, the UK, US and Canada. A good time, I believe, had by all! Started the eves off with our eggplant tonnato, once… Read More A Touch of the Piquant
No, that’s not a misspelling, I didn’t mean poached. After the last post on more local fish varieties, I decided it’s time to get back to my promise to start trying out more Argentine recipes, both classic and modern, to show off what local folk are or have done with their fish around here. I’m… Read More Pouched Fish
Picking up where I left off a few weeks ago with looking at some of the ocean fish that are available here, today we’ll hit a couple of common ones, but mostly, some that aren’t seen all that often. It’s more a function of what photos I happen to have than anything else. More to… Read More A Fish (or Eight) Less Common
I could have used the rosa nautica from the last post finding my way. It was bound to happen. I just didn’t think it would happen this early on, though in a way, it makes sense. After all, this part of following the #92 route passes through neighborhoods that I spend my days in all… Read More 92 Pizzas, navigational error

It’s still high tourism season for those from North America, so the US and Canada folk predominated, but we… Read More Where to Begin? Right Here.
The dream continues with the next couple of pizzas along the route of the 92 bus. The story at the link above. And, thankfully, a step above the two pizzerias checked out in round 1. Just a block further on, a spot I’ve been to before about five years ago, Caballito, Av. Las Heras 2999.… Read More 92 Pizzas, Stops 3 & 3a
For about six of the seven and a half years I’ve lived her I’ve been hearing about “this place” up in San Fernando, half an hour or so upriver of BA (if you have a car), where there was great southeast Asian food to be had. Now, anyone who knows me would be thinking, so… Read More Narrative of the Voyages Round San Fernando
