    Peanut butter prices probably going to rise.....

    Soy butter is actually not good for you. In the states I buy organic peanut butter with salt, olive oil and peanuts or organic almond butter. Here, I order organic almond butter as well as organic pumpkin butter (salt, nuts, and olive oil).

    Survey - What are the 3 biggest issues you have in BA?

    I missed having almond butter and almond milk so much, and found a great place that used organic nuts etc. I think it was only about 8 dollars for a decent sized jar. www.cocinaverde.com Tons of nut butters (pumpkin, almond, cashew etc etc)

    Gaining weight in Buenos Aires

    Best way to lose weight/stay slim is to cut out processed "white" products (e.g. white flour, white sugar etc.) and avoiding things with fructose etc. I don't eat any of the argentine pastries aside from a teeny bite here and there as I don't think that they are that incredible/not worth the...

    How did you end up being an expat in Buenos Aires?

    Citygirl: Hi. I read the post where you mentioned that you came here to ride. I am a very avid rider in the states (jumpers) and was wondering what kind of riding you do and if you do jumpers, where you do it? I am looking at stables in Palermo, but would love to hear your recommendations...

    Buenos Aires or Madrid

    I would pick Madrid without even giving it a second thought. You can get so many places in under two hours in the EU, the food is delicious, you would get paid in a much more stable currency, and IMHO Spain is much better than Bs. As. I have lived in several countries in Europe and had a...

    Planning to start a Indian resturant in Buenos Aires

    As someone who loves Indian food, has lived in London and eats at the best Indian restaurants in NYC, I recommend that you get an actual brick oven here. So far all the Indian food I have had here has been disgusting (Tandoor included). You need to have spicier options as well as true Indian...
