I agree, use the 500 ml container of cream. Also, put your beater and bowl in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes prior to whipping the cream. Be sure that the container of cream is cold. I've had always great results with heavy cream here. As well, if you like sweetened cream, add powdered...

Great analogy, Camberiu! It reminds me of the many Argentines who equate assembly factories with actual industrial manufacturing plants.

Excellent summary! i couldn't agree with you more!

John, I'm so sorry to read of this absolutely infuriating, not to mention totally unnecessary, situation. You have my sincerest sympathy for having to endure another case of Argentine bureaucratic nonsense and inefficiency.

The "scientist's" reply... 'Well, that's the way it is' ...is the usual cop-out response that one hears from so many people in this country. As a number of Argentine friends here have said on numerous occasions, re the social/political/economic problems that abound in this country, Argentines...

Concisely and precisely stated, Camberiu. Excellent.

The continuing inconsistent availability of common domestic food products in Argentina is a situation that drives me crazy, I can understand a shortage of imported food items, but not with domestic items. I'm not referring to any kind of specialty foods, either. The disappearance of frozen...

Do you want to order from Amazon USA? If so, Amazon shipping from the US to Argentina can be expensive, particularly since there is a US$5.00 charge per book in addition to the regular shipping charges. As well, you may encounter the usual Argentine post office obstacles if ordering more than...

The comparison is wholly irrelevant. Levie initiated his company, so it's his baby. Banco Nacion is a national banking institution that has been around since 1891, thus it's not some entrepreneur's new enterprise.

Wait, wait...isn't this administration dedicated to the "democratic process"? Hmmmm.... I didn't think so. This is the autocratic process at its finest.

And just to set the record straight, I'm almost seventy years old, of which thirty-five years were spent working in the airline/travel industry. I believe I can speak with some authority when it comes to travel issues.

Insults? Coming from you, I'm not in the least surprised. By the way, check the definition of kiddo. It has nothing to do with familial relations. Ceviche, you're a real piece of work. I'll even venture to say that you're just about the most thoroughly disagreeable person on this website -...

Why on earth would I be dismayed because you find "hilarious" a global immigration regulation that has been in effect for more than fifty years? I'm just stating facts, pal. It has nothing specifically to do with Argentina or Uruguay or Bangladesh or Bolivia. Nor does it have anything to do...

Copa and any other airline has the right to deny boarding to any non-citizen/non-resident holding a one way ticket to the country of destination and without proof of onward transportation. This is because immigration at the country of destination has the right to deny entry to any...

ElQueso, I love your posts! Don't change your style, ever! Just keep them coming!

What ElQueso said is 100% accurate. I suggest you read some in-depth US history. Regarding ElQueso's statement of "an idiotic desire to try and solve all the world's problems in their own image," you can begin by reading about American president Woodrow Wilson and his Missionary Diplomacy, the...

Thanks for this, ElQueso. During the past several days I've thought of commenting on this particular thread, in response to several posts that I found mind-boggling as well as downright rude, but I found myself too angry to try and compose any kind of response without sounding shrill. You've...

BAND OF BROTHERS is a knockout. And that goes as well for the same production team's THE PACIFIC.

Red mulberries are native to the eastern half of the US (as far west as the state of Kansas). Black mulberries are of Chinese origin but, as stated above, are grown throughout Europe. Both of my grandmothers (one from Illinois, one from Michigan) used to make mulberry pies and preserves...

My partner (79 years) and I (69 years) own a two bedroom apartment. I am a US citizen by birth, and a permanent resident of Argentina for more than 10 years. We pay every year in January the full ABL/rentas bill. We are not aware of any tax exemptions for foreign resident home owners, obove a...
