There is another source that is really great if you want prepared meals and that is La Cocina Verde. I have an article about the young woman who owns it in my web site. However, it isn't cheap because she uses all organic products. But for the health purists, I certainly recommend her. I have...

I'm not so sure I'm a connoisseur of olive oil but I buy mine from el jardin organico. I like it.

John.St Question occurs to me whether they even count food and energy since the U.S. eliminates those items from the inflation index altogether, thus coming up with a MUCH lower inflation rate than if they included them. Wonder if Argentina follows suite and just eliminates from the index the...

I just want to tell you again that to me it is wonderful you are posting these events. I can't take advantage of them now because I am going to be out of the country for a few months but I hope you're still informing us when I return. Good job. I noticed last time you posted someone else also...

About the booby-trap purse. My son says he has an idea to get a leather pack and sew treble fishhooks turned with the points down all on the inside. He said maybe even purses and start a new sport called "urban fishing." Hohohohoho!

And Ghost, I had the same question as glasgowjohn. Please tell us how you know what dog doo tastes like. Sounds like an interesting story! ;)

Pauper and anyone else, you go right ahead and eat it with my blessing. My responsibility ends when I post it. After that the ball is in your court. I post this stuff because I care about you--not to convince only inform. Bon appetit! :D

Ghost, you're funny, but not off track. You could not pay me to eat soy. Like you said full of Roundup, but also I think all soy in Argentina is genetically modified. Now all you guys that want to argue about whether it's healthy to eat GM food no matter how big the tumors get on those rats...

When I was telling my Argentine friend about the burglary he was telling me what to do if ever I am home and someone is outside (I LOVE my Argentine friends who try to educate me--and some do). He said to say Quen es (don't pick on my spelling now) and if they don't answer, tell them I'm calling...

I wonder if there is more crime than we know. I was burglarized, perhaps 2 months ago and friends learned there had been a home invasion in the house next door--right on the other side of their wall. He called the neighbors together to see if the neighborhood could work a plan to prevent it...

Doing well - - - and Welcome!!!

Incidentally this has been a great discussion. I enjoyed all of your contributions as I always do when someone brings up an economics discussion and I can see what all you seasoned Argentina expats, in general, say. Many thanks to you all and to Joe for starting it.

I'd like to point out something since it was posted that in Argentina the poor do not have to chip in. I know that it appears that way but in fact they do. There is a tax that damages them more than it damages those better off (though they get hit as well). It is the hidden tax of inflation...

Hey ajoknoblauc, you know what they say, no publicity is bad publicity and I certainly agree. I didn't know you were a writer of books until your friend samiamm started advertising for you. (You didn't pay him did you? Maybe he's not a troll after all!!! If you did, it sure works.) I did go to...

Jantango, I want to add my thanks as well. I REALLY appreciate that you provide this information!!!!!

Samiam just sounds like he's practicing up to be a troll to me. Nothing more than that. About countries, This has already been more or less already said but here goes--it depends on the expat. As far as I'm concerned, if anything the problem is too many choices, which is probably why the...

When I first came, since Internet is important to me, neighbors told me that people who work here get both. That way when one goes down--and eventually it will--you have the other. But everything went great for almost 3 years--but boy when I had trouble I REALLY had trouble and NO sympathy from...

I've done my share of complaining about Internet here, Heaven (and everyone else) knows. Three months at one time without Internet and unable to do a thing about it. Yelling didn't even help. That was Arnet. I changed to Fibertel many months ago and have been completely happy ever since. No...

Hi, I hope you will let us know how this works out. I could answer your questions if you are U.S. citizen but since you are U.K. I am not sure. I see you had some answers but not sure if everyone noticed you were transferring from the U.K and not U.S. I think if you are a U.K. citizen and not a...

I'm not an expert on immigration problems but I am pretty sure they would have told you if anything were wrong. In my case, I provided the FBI report, as requested (I am U.S.) and when they got it, for some reason they then wanted Interpol. So then it was necessary to order Interpol. But they...
