My little project for meandering through the encyclopedic knowledge of the internet has been backburnered for a short time, but I thought I’d pick up where I left off in the Dutch colonies of Dutch Guiana and Dutch Guinea. Whither to go? I started in on the Dutch Colonial Empire, at one time scattered around… Read More Game On – Going Dutch
It’s been eons since my last little head of state walking tour, where I ended up with Manuel Dorrego being executed by his childhood friend Juan Lavalle. I actually started walking Lavalle street shortly thereafter – all the way back in December of last year – though never completed the walk, nor wrote it up.… Read More The Unitarian Return – Briefly
The theme turned citric… it wasn’t planned that way, I think I was just feeling the need for some Vitamin C and Sunshine – and with all the rain we were under, citrus fruits were the best I could do.

I have no idea why I’ve not been to this place before. The chef, someone I know, has two other restaurants in town, both of which I’ve been to, and reviewed. But for some reason, until this week, other than once for a cocktail with a visiting friend from New York, I hadn’t set foot… Read More House of the Cross
Still full from those chocolate spice rolls of our casual night (not really – in my defense against devouring the remaining ones I gave them all to our portero to share with his cadre here in the hood), I set to work on preparing the weekend’s menu. More fish, more fish! Don’t worry, this coming… Read More A Cheek-y Little Dinner
