    Rosario restaurants

    I ate at Silos Davis and thought it was pretty good. I stayed at the Savoy, which I think might be the nicest hotel I have ever stayed for $55.

    Chai tea?

    Chai means tea. When we make chai at home, we use regular black tea as they do in India. What gives it a different flavor is a combination of chai masala, mint, and in our case we also use lemongrass. And of course, lots of milk and sugar. I think I remember seeing chai masala for sale in...

    Bombay, Bangkok, Sao Paulo, Lima, Mexico City, Kathmandu, Delhi, Jakarta, and Gary, Indiana. I'm sure there are dozens more. I'm sure I'm shielded, but Buenos Aires has not yet struck me as a polluted city in comparison to other big cities of the world.

    Ice Hockey in BA?? I know...

    I played at Peru Beach on Monday - I had a practice with a team and a Brazilian coach. There are two leagues - the A and B. The team I was with was in the B league. They were fantastic skaters. Way better than C league skaters in Chicago and as good as B league skaters in Chicago. Their...
