I promised the other day that I’d get to a “Best of” post on Revuelto Gramajo – a traditional local dish of scrambled eggs and ham accompanied by fried potatoes. It took a few days as I had to go back through my various posts over the years. I even put together a little map… Read More Scrambled Quartet
When I was growing up, my impression of Boston basically came from two things – history classes that involved Paul Revere’s midnight ride, colonists throwing tea in the harbor, the infamous massacre; and, Charles from MASH (whose personality and demeanor were years later reinforced by Fraser). And, sorry to say Bostonians, but there’s always been… Read More The Mid-Day Ride of Paul Revere
It’s that time again, a new month, and a look back at the last month, Mais… err… May. Once again, a select dish from each of our Casa SaltShaker dinners. This time, only three, as we were away for a week in Santiago, Chile. Somewhere along the line in my pasta posts I’ll get into… Read More Mais Oui…

Cafe Mishiguene, Cabello 3181, Palermo – The casual off-shoot of the spectacular Mishiguene, to which we’ve been many a time. Mostly it’s sandwiches and nibbles.

The place is done up like some sort of tiki-bar out of the 1960s. Staff, fairly inattentive – when I arrived, there was no one at the… Read More Four Yawn Burgers
I had the feeling that there were folk out there who wanted to really see some of the basic steps of making simple pastas. I hadn’t expected quite the response I got from folk who sent me messages with thanks for clearing up some of the steps, and explaining why each one makes the process… Read More Cheese and Pepper
An interestingly homogeneous evening in some ways, as the various of the ten folk who attended dinner were all from different parts of the US, most of them students or just recent graduates, and all down here either for some sort of research or internships in their respective fields. Sometimes, things just work out that… Read More 2022 Menu #22
A rather off-beat night for us. We were contacted many moons ago by a producer from A&E, putting together a new show called something like One Thousand Ways to Dine. I don’t know when the show debuts, or if it already has. My understanding is that the format will be to pick a particular way to… Read More 2022 Menu #20
