It’s pizza time again. A short post, as I’ve not really been going out with the newly restored restrictions in place on getting around the city. We can do it, but we’ve been asked to limit going out and about for a couple of weeks. So, as you’ve seen from the last half dozen posts,… Read More Half a Pi(e) is Better than No Pi(e)
I’ve talked briefly about the Argentine tradition of serving gnocchi (ñoquis) on the 29th of each month here, in most detail in a review of an episode of MasterChef Argentina a few years back.

This one came to my attention serendipitously. I was on the 108 bus, going to or coming from somewhere, and just saw it in passing, looked… Read More The Horde Rides Out
With one “re-opening” dinner under our belts, we quickly found ourselves with two more, and then, a dilemma, which will change the way we’re approaching this. First off, as of this weekend, Buenos Aires is back under a semi-quarantine, with very restricted hours and movement. Not like it was a year ago, but it’s a… Read More Whither do we go?
As we announced recently on our website and in various social media, we’re back open on a limited basis. We’re offering private lunches and dinners for groups of 2-6 people outside in the garden, i.e., we’re not going to offer communal table dinners at the big table inside just yet – and I don’t imagine… Read More Back to Work
