Social Isolation, Day 8: 8:00 Awake, start to make coffee. Refrigerator door falls off as I open it, sending things crashing to the floor. Henry awakes and helps me get it back on its hinge – it’s broken, but at least with no weight on it – redistributing everything that was there to other shelves… Read More Q8
When I started The Bread & Soup Project, my method of “randomizing” was simply to hit each country in turn, alphabetically. While not actually random, it did have me bouncing around the globe, as countries aren’t distributed in that manner. But, here we are in mid-Q, as we have been the last couple of days, yet… Read More The Bread & Soup ProjeQt #34 – Canada
Day 2. I mean, again, it’s not really a quarantine, it’s social isolation. I went to the dietetica to buy some brown rice, semolina, and a few other things, and to the city’s mercado itinerante (the daily moving city run food market) which was in our ‘hood yesterday, for some vegetables.

We’re awaiting an announcement from President Fernandez that leaked info says is going to be… Read More Bite Marks #81
Although I haven’t read any treatises attesting to the fact, I can make a reasonably educated guess that the near ubiquitous al ajillo preparation for prawns/shrimp, fish, and sometimes chicken throughout Latin America, originated in the Spanish colonization of those areas. There’s a classic Spanish dish, gambas al ajillo, that is usually served as a bubbling bowl… Read More The Garlic-Chili Fish
Just one of those occasional visits to the Reserva Ecologica de la Costanera Sur – the big ecological reserve on the south side of town. Always interesting photos….
That occasional round-up of places that are, likely, one time visits, or just haven’t fit in elsewhere…. Shall we start from the bottom of the barrel and work our way up, ending on a positive note? Mula, Av. Gral. Las Heras 2061, Recoleta. Taking over the spot recently vacated by our neighborhood Subway, and looking… Read More Bite Marks #80
