    Where to buy pine nuts?

    New Garden almost always has them. http://www.newgarden.com.ar/QuienesSomos_SPA.aspx As I recall the price a few months ago was 14 pesos for 100 gr. But my recall could be waaaay off.

    Kindle Book Club? Or the like?

    I would be happy with either of them. I just won't remember State of Wonder as well as the rest of you. I had it checked out as a library book, so it is no longer on my Kindle.

    What's The Best Way To See Tigre

    What a difference the day makes. When we were there, the German restaurant was the picture of idyllic tranquility, just a couple of tables of people sipping (very cold) beer and watching the birds and the river. The potato pancakes were fabulous. I don't know if people are suggesting eating on...

    What's The Best Way To See Tigre

    When I went this time last year, there was a great German restaurant about an hour out on one of the lanchas. The Estacion Fluvial, or something like that, is the Boat Station. It is just beyond the McDondal's across from the regular station for the trains from Retiro. There is a tourist...

    DNI with rentista visa

    Actually, I didn't need the photos because they took them on the spot when I got up to the counter. I had read this somewhere on the government website and it proved to be correct, but I can't point you to exactly where I found the info.

    Punctuality

    I have had exactly the opposite problem. My Argentinean partner and I invited people for drinks and empanadas a recent Sunday evening at "7:00 or 7:30." First, the single Argentinean guy arrived at 6:30, while I was in the shower. Then the Argentinean couple we had invited arrived at 6:50...

    New Yorker Magazine

    I read it fresh every week on my Amazon Kindle. The only trick is that you have to buy the subscription from Amazon. The New Yorker 's digital subscription service is the same price but it doesn't play on the Kindle. Yes, it has to cartoons.
