    Residencia Permanente In 2 Week Visit? Is It Even Possible?

    29 Y.o. Male Seeking A Radical Sabbatical In Ba.

    Not to unromanticize you before you even arrive but as others have stated 2k will go quite quickly especially for a new arrival. If you want to extend your time you can look into shared housing, bonus if you have Spanish speaking roommates you may pick up the basics a little faster. Short...

    Residencia Permanente In 2 Week Visit? Is It Even Possible?

    If you're already married why wouldn't you just register the marriage with the Argentine Embassy/consulate in the US and speak to them about starting your residency process while you're still in the US. I would think having two legal ceremonies would complicate matters unnecessarily. If you're...

    Unusual Situation

    Cheese For Cheesecakes

    I used la serenisma, I found I needed to add a lot more acid than the recipes called for to get a sizeable amount of cheese from it. I will fiddle around with some different recipes the next time I get around to making ricotta and perhaps try different milks.

    Cheese For Cheesecakes

    There are a bunch of different ricotta options, or you can make your own! I usually use philly or make my own ricotta, I don't like the local cream cheeses I don't find them to be a suitable substitution.

    Not sure if there's a solution, we went on the do not call website, posted in another thread recently, last week and inputted our home phone number. Since then I have had multiple no one there and political calls, not sure about vendors as I just hang up as soon as I know it's a robo call.

    Tadpoles??

    Might be some type of fly, perhaps those little black buggers that always seem to pop up out of nowhere? I'd flush the water and clean the bowl with super hot water and probably not put it back out if it was me. ;)
