Argies have very particular taste buds that often times defy rhyme or reason. Some of my favorite locals have strong beliefs about food… for example, (all these should use air quotes and spoken in a very sarcastic tone) egg whites are “heavy,” a tiny bit of ground pepper is “spicy,” sushi = food poisoning.

Challah Baking Extravaganza
After much tweaking, and failed attempts, my Challah recipe is starting to turn out absolutely perfect. It’s good to make this while you are stressed out and wanna punch a bitch in the face. Bitch punching = killer kneading. A definite time consumer, I wouldn’t recommend starting to bake it and hour before you are […]
Melão: A Culinary Recorrido del Mundo

The menu includes items like sandwiches, tartas, baked goods, […]

You would think that taking on these tasks would be moderately time consuming, indulgent, and messy. Maybe. But the hardest part was finding the main ingredients: cocoa powder and high quality semi sweet baking chocolate.
Who doesn’t love a cupcake?
