    U.s. Debate Tonight

    Never mind - it looks as if CNN Int'l is running it live, with coverage starting at 9, actual debate at 9:30. Let's hope we can learn something about policies from this one, unlike the snipe fests we've had so far.

    U.s. Debate Tonight

    Does anyone know if CNN International is broadcasting the Democratic debate, and if so, at what time? On CNN in the US, it is at 8pm edt, but not necessarily broadcast live on the international channel. I see that it can be streamed live, but would prefer tv if possible. Thanks!

    With Less Than 2 Weeks Until The Elections ...

    [not meaning to hijack my own thread here -- I really would like to read some spirited discussion on this -- but was momentarily struck by your thoughts on Stolbizer and Saā, and how similar that is to the contrast between Fiorina and Carson in the 2nd republican debate --] Anyway, back to HERE...

    With Less Than 2 Weeks Until The Elections ...

    I would be interested in hearing informed, thoughtful ideas (please -- not ideological biases) on this question: What could be a winning strategy when there are so many opposition parties that, together, indicate a strong anti-current-govt stand, but that, apart, compete against each other --...

    Visitors To Buenos Aires For 3 Days

    Sergio, of course you are right. Brain slip! The night I wrote that, we were reminiscing about the time we were in London and had visitors -- took them to Westminster Abbey, where one of our guests, who was Catholic, loudly announced "Of course this used to be OURS!" And right again, the...

    Fake Weddings In Ba

    Good one, Fangar! But despite the styrofoam wedding cake, It would be fun to go to one of these. "Tony & Tin's Wedding" updated by 30 years, in a culture where even fake weddings last all night. What could be better?

    Visitors To Buenos Aires For 3 Days

    Terrific ideas. Thanks to all for your help, and special thanks to Serafina and Che for taking the time to work out actual itineraries for their visit. I would never have come up with all this on my own, and am grateful for the group effort.

    Mccartney At The White House

    Outstanding! A kaleidoscope of musicians, each interpreting McCartney's music in a different way. Especially captivated by Herbie Hancock and Corinne Bailey Rae.

    Visitors To Buenos Aires For 3 Days

    We have friends who will be in BsAs for 3 days, and want advice on things to see. this may be their only visit to the city. We will be away, so they will be on their own, which is fine, as they are travelers. We are trying hard not to just suggest places that we especially like, but instead...

    Reliable Remise To Ezeiza

    We have used World Car many times. Just be ready 20-30 minutes before your appointment; if they come early and you aren't there, they will leave.

    Fresh Milk And What They Put In It.

    Ugh. I wish I'd read this before downing a big mug of tea laced with Sancor Partialmente Descremada. But when I think of the tank cars full of sheep's wool I've consumed in the U.S., this alternative could seem positively mouth-watering.

    Guide To Asado

    I believe they are sold at very high prices, to those who can afford them: special exports, extremely high-end restaurants and clubs, the 1% and possibly high government officials --

    Book Club Potluck Wednesday Oct 28, 2015

    Two of us will be there -- really looking forward to it, and thank you in advance, Coqueta! Will bring either gumbo (if we can work out transporting without spilling all along the route) or salmon spread.

    Guide To Asado

    When we first came here in 2005, a guy in chef's training told us he could tell a marked decline in the quality of beef in the restaurants, from earlier years. We suspected he was just showing off, as we found the steaks divine, and waiters easily divided cuts of beef using only spoons. The...

    Burgers In Argentina

    El Queso - I brought a bottle of Colgin's liquid smoke with me, and use it in only one recipe, so would be glad to share. It's nowhere near a liter, though - just standard-sized 4-oz bottle that probably has 3 oz left in it. I love the finger hole method for encouraging the burgers to remain...

    Passport Entry Stamp For New Passport

    We flew back in yesterday, using our new passports for the first time. When we presented them, the official reminded us she also needed to see the old passports, with the entry visas. Oh -- and when we boarded the Delta flight in Atlanta, they wouldn't have let us on the plane without the...

    What Are You Watching On Netflix? Was It Any Good?

    Person of Interest is fascinating. Completely different, set in post WWII England, is Foyle's War, an excellent series produced a few years back.
