    Get your pots out for the lads!

    I think it's dying out now. Thank goodness. I've had a migraine all afternoon and this was not helping.

    Who's bought tortilla chips recently and where?

    It looks like they're also in stores like Libertad and some Discos (maybe outside of CABA), but Antomex has the best tortilla chips I've had here, by a large margin. Not real greasy, a little thicker, but GREAT flavor. I found mine at Pick Market in Recoleta.

    Vitamin Water

    I recently saw a billboard advertising the arrival of VW in Buenos Aires, but I haven't actually seen any of the bottles yet. Anyone else have any more luck?

    TV SOS help! how can I watch my shows??

    I usually find that the proxies are way too slow to watch Hulu and the like. It ends up being super useful for when I'm on a Pandora kick, though.

    Chili Powder

    Yep, Em, you got me. =) Anyways, for the moment, we're fine, because I still have some packets left over from when I brought them back from the US back in July... it's usually too spicy for the Mrs. to eat, so that makes the delicious chili ALL MINE. Hope you and Leon are doing good! We have...

    Polleria/Poultry Shops

    We ended up being able to get some from the Avicar on Arenales. About 20 blocks from our place but could have been worse. We are throwing a party Sunday and without chicken wings, it could have gotten ugly :) Thanks all.

    Polleria/Poultry Shops

    Does anybody know of any decent pollerias in Buenos Aires? Preferably the closer to Retiro/Recoleta, the better. It seems like every time I've seen one, it's been way the hell out of the city proper, and we're in a dire chicken wing emergency right now. Thanks in advance. =)

    US College Basketball

    Come March Madness you MIGHT be able to find like The Alamo or Casa Bar showing them, but in general, no, not really.

    Vamos Los Rangers de Tejas!! (beisbol)

    You must be from Houston, longhorn. Because nobody outside of Houston cares at all about the Astros. =)

    Vamos Los Rangers de Tejas!! (beisbol)

    Might not be able to get everything together for tonight(I think I have errands to run), but how about Saturday? That might work a little better with my schedule, being game 3 and not having to work the next morning.

    Vamos Los Rangers de Tejas!! (beisbol)

    If you see someone around Retiro/Recoleta in a Rangers jersey tee or hat, it's either my wife or me. So yeah, this is awesome, despite last night not going the way I wanted. It's been huge for me, having all the games on ESPNHD here, because the expat bars are pretty awful and there's never...

    The worst pizza in the world?

    Maybe it was the portenos, not the pizza.

    Bafici bafici bafici!

    I've liked most of what I've seen, didn't care much for tonight's Go Get Some Rosemary, but my favorite was seen earlier today at Abasto: Singapore's Red Dragonflies.

    Will tv work from the US work here?

    If it's a newer TV, you should be fine. Most HDTV's can handle PAL and NTSC. Mine does.
