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

Qajun Inspiration

I’m going to keep using the “Q” until our president here not only declares that the quarantine is over, but makes that into an actual fact. Though he’s stated now, for a month or more that “there is no quarantine”, and indeed we have some freer movement and more things open, there are still so… Read More Qajun Inspiration

Where to Eat #11

First, you (and I) were probably starting to wonder if we’d ever see another Where To Eat post. This quarantine has dragged, and is still dragging on, over six months now here. But second, we do have a little more freedom, we’re more into the “stay at home when you can” level of things than… Read More Where to Eat #11

A Little BasQue Potato Dish

I was taking a walk – something that slowly we’re able to go out and do more and more. I was passing by one of my favorite little gourmet shops and decided to pop in and just inhale some of the lovely aromas (through my mask, but still), and perhaps pick up something to snack… Read More A Little BasQue Potato Dish

Qasa SaltShaker – Chipa Avati

The chipa. I’ve mentioned it before, it’s a cheese and cassava (tapioca) flour based bread. The word, in fact, is the Guarani word for bread, or cake. In its most historical form, it consisted of nothing more than pounded cassava (yuca/manioc) root and water, the dough wrapped around a stick and cooked over an open flame. That… Read More Qasa SaltShaker – Chipa Avati

Qooking the Books #9

It’s been awhile, but thought I’d throw in some of what I’ve been reading recently in the food world. This is, by no means, either everything I’ve been reading, nor even all of the food related stuff, but a Quintet for Quarantine that I think are worth exploring for those of you who enjoy cooking… Read More Qooking the Books #9

Qreole Steaks

Well, it seems it’s finally happened. Sort of. Maybe. Not sure. President Fernandez extended the quarantine until September 20th. That’s the quarantine that two weeks ago he said no longer existed and that he was going to trust to people’s sense of responsibility to properly socially distance, wear masks, etc. Borders are still closed, no… Read More Qreole Steaks

Qream of Mushroom Soup

We’re still in limbo on the whole quarantine or social isolation thing here. A lot of, too many, people have taken it as license to just drop it all and start partying, dinner-ing, walking around in the streets without masks, and despite admonitions from the government about penalties for doing so, it appears little, if… Read More Qream of Mushroom Soup

From Our Qasa to Yours

For those who don’t follow us on Instagram or Facebook, you may not be aware that we, like many restaurants here, have given ourselves over to the world of delivery. Obviously, given our traditional sorts of five course meals with wine, around a communal table, that’s a very different thing than we’re used to. Mostly… Read More From Our Qasa to Yours
