    An apology to the Golden Arches

    Last night it was Boeuf Bourguignon, and it will probably be the same tonight as I made too much. I did my shop for the weekend today and we'll have a couple kinds of quiches with salads on Saturday for brunch and spaghetti a la carbonara for dinner. Sunday is tortilla española and then eating...

    An apology to the Golden Arches

    I ate at McDonald's as a kid, but before moving to Argentina I hadn't been through their doors in a good 25 years. My kids had never been to McDonald's before coming here either, and I imagine I was a bit smug about that. However, we now eat at the Golden Arches about once a week, and I'd be...

    Salary for cama adentro vs cama afuera?

    GOOD pre-made Puff Pastry?

    I've made it too, and I am trying to avoid the work thus my post. It would be so convenient to have some nice pre-made available... You'll find that bovine fat replaces the more expensive butter as an ingredient in many pastry items here. Not the same flavor by a long shot

    New York or Miami for shopping

    Also, remember that nationwide retail chains (Target, the Gap, etc.) have standard pricing no matter where they are. There may be variation in when they have their sales, but in general you'll have the same prices in NY or MIA.
