Buenos Aires – A couple of folk who didn’t make it to the party – either you just didn’t show up, or maybe you’re living in Sweden or something – wanted a better look at some of the food. So why not, I’ve still got tons of leftovers. So, here’s my lunch today – clockwise… Read More Leftover Closeup
Buenos Aires – The fiesta has come and gone, and it was quite the experience. Not one I’m likely to repeat at any time in the near (or distant) future. It was, by turns, exciting and exhausting, and a strange mix of sedate and bizarre. We’d called the party for 8:00 figuring folks would start… Read More Fiesta! Feliz Cumpleaño Henry!
Buenos Aires – Generally, as I’ve mentioned a couple of times before, Henry doesn’t like it when I watch him cook. I think it makes him nervous. This actually happens to me quite a bit. I get that whole “you’re a professional chef” thing – and people either don’t want me to see how they… Read More Mi Corazon

So I found myself late yesterday in a couple of adjoining tents off the side of the city’s exposition center, tucked away behind, well, pretty much… Read More Painted Bodies – Sort Of
Buenos Aires – One of the things foodies love is finding a place that just wows them from the moment they walk in. At least that’s how I feel. I’ve heard, casually mentioned, a place called 788 Food Bar, Arenales 1877, in Recoleta, as a place “worth checking out sometime.” Let me just say up… Read More 788 – Attention to Detail
Buenos Aires – A couple of days of various family and friend related adventures, nothing of great food note – a group asado, or backyard barbecue on Sunday, a visit to La Plata but nothing touristy. No food to write home about. Suddenly I’m standing in front of the fish counter at the local market… Read More Tentaculos
