Just that...I've run out of my supply from the States. Where can I find cheesecloth in BA? Thanks!

For what it is worth, Kansas was fantastic last year (even without cranberries).

I've run out of the supply I brought from home! Where can I buy cheesecloth here? Thanks!

There was a thread similar to this last week. Simple--you tell her you'll pay the official rate no more no less, and if she balks just call her bluff and say you'll report her to the AFIP. End of story. Don't let her take such shameless advantage!

Strange question, I know. I have really good insurance from the states, BUT it doesn't pay for Lasik and it doesn't pay for a small cosmetic procedure I want to do. I've heard that several of the Obras here do pay for those things. 1) Which plans pay for them? 2) How much is the cost? 3) Is...

No, that's different! That is a steam cooker or a rice cooker. A slow cooker is a totally different thing. I haven't been able to find one here in 2 years--let me know if you do.

The Mercado is open now from 8:00 to 8:00 Monday -Saturday. A few of the stalls are still being worked on (light stuff like painting), but they all have renters. It really looks amazing now

p.s. The Mercado de Belgrano also has 2 great granjas for poultry (Ernesto's is the best for a turkey at Thanksgiving if you are interested), a shop that specializes in all things pork, a shop that deals with more exotic meats like jabali, and then two other regular butchers who are very good...

Not sure if it would be too far for you or not, but El Rosarino en el Mercado de Belgrano (Juramento y Ciudad de La Paz one block from Cabildo) is spectacular, HONEST, and delivers. I live in Recoleta and make the trip over once a week and then have them deliver once at the end of the week for...

I just bought a couple at Kel Ediciones on Marcelo T Alvear

I agree, French Jurist, but the only thread that gets any traffic is Expat Life and I needed some info.

This is serious, out of medical necessity, and a heartfelt decision that has taken years to make. Is it possible to keep the childish responses to a minimum? Is it actually possible?

Has anyone had a breast reduction done in BA? I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences here including hospital/doctor recs, overall cost, and recovery. Thanks!

But be warned because they both taste terrible. The prepackaged puff pastry seems to be made with anything BUT butter--probably margarine--and tastes precisely like bland plastic though it looks pretty coming out of the oven. It was terrible. You might try asking a good bakery if they will...

They have it at Casa Polti right next to the Mercado de Belgrano on Juramento.

I have an 8 year old son who has been here in a private Catholic school with all Argentines since he was 6. This is the norm as I experience it for playdates: the mother/maid will pick the kids up after school and take them home. See if you need to send some kind of permission for your child...

All very interesting, but could we keep to the topic for the sake of some valuable info please? :)

I'm wondering what your experiences have been in looking for the best prices on staple household items. Let's say pantry items, detergents, soda/water. Do you recommend shopping at Walmart, Makro, some other mayorista, or your regular supermarket (Coto, Carrefour, etc.)?

price of the ipad?

Too bad. I'd have joined up, but as a native of the TRUE birthplace of Euchre--that is to say Indiana of course--I had to swear a solemn oath never to play with filthy Michiganders, our natural enemies...I'm sure you understand... ;) (Have a lot of fun!!! Glad to know the tradition is being...
