RichardP, thanks for your helpful links! I'd found a few of the products I want on Mercado Libre, so I didn't list them, but didn't think to look there for vinagre de cidra de manzana! I wonder whether it has the culture (as in "the mother"); I'll try it, especially the raw one.

Good point, Serafina. I was a vegetarian for 44 years, using eggs and dairy products. I have been studying nutrition for a long time and have learned that certain animal products are the best sources of certain nutrients, such as B12, Retinol (the fat-soluble form of Vitamin A), and Omega 3...

I know that Argentine and other (Bolivian, Peruvian) vendors sometimes lie about the authenticity of their products. "Si, son de granja." Yeah, right. A shopkeeper in Balvanera asked his brother at a butcher shop some questions for me; the brother's boss told him to lie to my face and tell me...

Has anyone found a good substitute for Apple Cider Vinegar "with the mother"?

Thank you, April 1! For anyone interested, here's what their website says: Frutas y verduras orgánicas traidas directo de huertas certificadas, en su pico de sabor y vitalidad. Lácteos orgánicos y artesanales de pequeños productores locales, de calidad y más saludables. Carne pastoril, o...

Wrong place for supplements, but right place for tango, right tangotrucho? That's why I tolerate the inconveniences. :) Tangotrucho, do you know where to get the grass-fed beef that you mention? It seems to me that most is exported, and what we get in the city finishes on grains in feedlots...

Hi everyone! I'm a nutrition enthusiast returning to BA soon for 3 months and would prefer not to bring a whole suitcase full special foods and supplements. Seeking the following in their purest, whole food forms, free of pesticides and additives. I've found a few of them on Mercado Libre, but...

There's a community of "paleo" and some "ketogenic"people in this group. These topics are relevant to them, as shown in lively, 8-page thread some months back. I'm seeking answers to my questions.

("Bulletproof" coffee lovers, that is.) This may be the most ideosyncratic request on the forum, but who knows?: I've moved from a paleo to a ketogenic diet (kind of a next logical step), and the quart of MCT oil I brought is running out! That's "medium chain triglicerides". This stuff is...

Now it's just an academic question. I found it in the second most logical place. Hours of worry! See you soon in BA, everyone. ;)

Is it possible to get a copy from some online files? Or do I have to pay all over again?

The architect's story made my day. Thanks for the education and the inspiration, Hybrid Ambassador.

Thanks again to everyone for your thoughtful replies, and the private messages. I'll continue getting in touch with some of you privately. Some pretty wonderful conversations have been born from this thread. When I'm in town again next month, I can follow your advice and check some of these...

Thanks, Steve. I had no Idea I'd be getting so much specific help. I thought people would talk in general about central neighborhoods that have some quiet and beauty. I think I had written as a point of reference "the intersection of Cordoba and Scalabrini Ortiz". The venues I want to quick...

Something similar happened to me: My Magsafe 1 seemed to have died in January with 10 days left of my 3-month sojourn in BA, and I was still running my business, Skyping with clients, etc. There's a long thread on this forum in which people offered lots of helpful advice. Everything involved...

Thanks again for the many suggestions; I will explore some of those neighborhoods. My first priority is getting to my favorite milongas quickly and easily. Also important is cultural/intellectual and social life. I appreciate the alternative suggestions, but commuting from a remote area is not...

Thanks so much, everyone. I have a packed workday today, and will be able to read all your posts late tonight or tomorrow!

BAExpat friends, please help me find the right place to live! Last March and April I stayed in Barrio Norte, a block from Santa Fe, and I found the neighborhood chaotic with traffic noise so bad I literally had to sleep with earplugs. There were some nice buildings in the neighborhood, but I...

(my bolding - HT) Hybrid Ambassador, what do you mean by the last sentence, please?

Thanks, PhillipDT. Pretty much what I thought. It's not only the taste that concerns me. It's the idea of eating contaminated, unhealthy fish, which does happen on farms. I'll continue to avoid salmon in Argentina till things change.
