“What do you miss about the USA?” is on the top 5 list of questions that many expats are asked when being quizzed about their reasons for living abroad. As a shallow, culinary obsessed, mid-twenty something, my answer will always remain something superficial. These days with the glories of social media and the wonders of […]
Happy Thanksgiving, American Style
It’s no coincidence that I chose to visit my family in the US over Thanksgiving, the only major holiday where eating takes center stage, giving thanks for being a bunch of total greedy foodface stuffing fatties. After 4 years of Argentine-styled Thanksgivings, it was time to celebrate authentic American food traditions, feasting until you can feast […]

Olsen: The Original Buenos Aires Brunch
OLSEN IS CLOSED. Back in the day, in the mid 2000s, before the brunch craze invaded Buenos Aires, Olsen reigned on top for THE place to brunch. Cool, sleek, modern atmosphere, minimal decor, beautifully presented food, extremely accessible prices, trendy clientele and a one-of-a-kind menu.

Soy vegetariana.” Puzzled mozo: “No, no tiene carne. Tiene jamón, pollo, pescado, sangre de animales…” Even though vegetarians aren’t a common thing […]
What the FLUCK should I make for dinner?
One of the many food related recipe blogs I read, What the fuck should I make for dinner, has inspired me to follow in the good fun and include my recipes of what I’ve been fucking making for dinner. 1. Barbecue chicken fucking salad 2. Empa-fucking-nadas salteñas 3. Fucking rigatoni in a garlic white wine […]
Another one bites the dust
I’m sure other expats can sympathize, when living in a foreign country, making friends can be a touchy subject. Some transit Buenos Aires dwellers may not understand the reluctance of the long-termer to befriend any other foreigner that comes their way. There must be some selectivity involved. Friends come, friends go. What kind of tortured […]
