We’re off to the Baltic Sea and States this time around in The Bread & Soup Project. Okay, everyone raise their hands who can tell me anything about Estonia. Thought so. Okay, let’s start with the basics – small country, 17,504 square miles (45,335 square kilometers), putting it about midway between the size of West… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #57 – Estonia
It was an all food week, plus one wine tasting, which I’ll write up separately. Let’s start with a revisit to a place I’ve been to many a time over the years. It was July 4th, and the Horde was feeling a twinge of Americana, so we headed to the one non-fast food-ish place that serves… Read More Sennight #3
It’s been awhile since I’ve gone to a sit-down wine tasting here in Argentina, but I decided it would be interesting to start going again. I do enjoy tasting wines I otherwise might not have, though I often find the presentations to be a bit… much. I’m talking about the sort that are oriented around… Read More Grandpa’s Wines
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
Welcome back to the end of a new week and a look back at the things that stood out. I should note, I’m not including everything – you don’t need to see every sandwich or salad I made at home, and if something will be part of another post, like this week’s entry into The… Read More Sennight Glance #2
One of these days I’ll do a little step-by-step for traditional Sardinian malloreddus, literally “little bulls”, also known as gnocchetti sardi, or, little Sardinian gnocchi. Gnocchi means knots, of the sort found in wood, though some say it’s a derivation of nocca, or knuckle. Either way, I didn’t exactly make malloreddus, because these are far too long – they… Read More Not So Little Bulls*
Some thirteen years ago I first wrote in detail about the iconic Argentine dish, the Revuelto Gramajo. Over the years, I’ve continued to try various versions of the dish, and also, on occasion, dip into its history. And, over time, more details have made their way to the internet, from more and more reliable sources. There’s… Read More A Scrambled Revisit
“Back in the day”, i.e., early on in this blog, which has now gone on for nearly two decades, I used to do a daily, or at least every couple of day, writeup of what I’d been up to. Mostly food and wine, but a lot of other stuff – after all Buenos Aires was new… Read More Sennight Glance #1
