Ok, here is another quick and easy recipe. Ingredients: 1 can tuna 1 can tomatoes (with no added spices - plain old tomatoes) or 1 can tomato puree (they sell bottles in the Disco - it is titurado or something like that) garlic olive oil optional: sun dried tomatoes, sliced olives, capers...

Here is a yummy recipe you can make with cous cous. It's a nice option for those who want something with a little spice. Sautee chicken parts (legs, thighs are best) in olive oil. I like to fry them until they are nice and brown. Put to the side. Sautee one onion chopped up and a few cloves...

As we should, based on our continued intervention in their politics, our control of their natural resources, and our support of dictatorships and oligarchs who keep their people impoverished.

I just went to Brazil. I got my visa at the consulate here in BsAs. I went without any documentation. I might have been asked to show my credit card. I think it helped that I am a 49 year old man, and was relatively clean that day :) The clerk asked for my hotel information and asked me for...

seems to me that this is not the place to come to teach English. I've met many Argentines who speak great English (and teach it). Plus, the economy is not one that really supports hiring people from the outside. Is it that you want to live in Argentina or you want to teach English? The best...

I don't understand why so many people are having problems with taxis, or why I am not. I was here last year for 2 months, and this year have been here for almost 4 months so far. I get in the taxi, tell him where I want to go and that's it. No drama, no problems. When I pay, I hold up the...

I'm surprised that no one ever seems to mention CUI (Centro Universitario de Idiomas) as a place to study castellano. It is also part of UBA, but is not located in the noisy protest heavy area as the other program. I can't quote prices, but I think they are reasonable. They offer intensive...

Hi everyone. I've been here in Baires for 2 months now and have another 3 to go. Next week I'm making my trip to Uruguay, Colonia and Montevideo for visa reneweal, but I am looking for recommendations for places that I can get away to from time to time, to escape the crowds, noise and...

I brought cash with me for my stay here because my bank said they'd charge me and I don't want to use my credit card for cash advances (too many fees). I found a very low-key casa de cambio on Santa Fe near Callao. It would be impossible to find if it hadn't been pointed out to me. It's in...

I didn't hear any noise, but when I went out briefly last night I saw rows of men sitting in bars watching something on TV. My guess is there was a soccer match and that is what all the noise was about.:confused:

Not sure what you are looking for. Buenos Aires has many gay venues, and there are obviously lots of gay people here, both foreign and native born. I don't see guys walking around arm in arm or any same-sex public affection on the streets, but of course, kissing is universal and the nice thing...

I think it is very dangerous to generalize about a very large and diverse group of peole such as portenos (and I know I am mis-spelling it but have not figured out how to make Spanish letters and accents on my computer yet). We all tend to see the world through our own cultural lenses, which...
