Meeting ex-pats is fun. You get a dollop of the familiar, but retooled and rearranged to fit the new. Lovely Mari from Riverside (though I don’t think she’s lived there in quite a long time) invited some friends over for a fabulous home-cooked meal. Who knew Turkey Day would come twice for me this year? [...]

¡Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias!

It looks like Thanksgiving is going to come and go without much hullabaloo here in Buenos Aires. I did get to celebrate it a bit early, though, with some new friends at the English-speaking United Community Church just outside the city. I haven’t been to church since being here and was excited to actually worship [...]

I have been getting a good dose of Buenos Aires lately. Yesterday, I felt a craving for Korean food and headed off to Once (pronounce “on-say”). I was told lots of Koreans live there, so I figured I’ll walk around and stumble across something. I walked around for a good long while and only came [...]

I walked around in heels read a book on the subway got felt up by a pervert on said subway bought [...]
My Toe, My Brain, My Bank Account

While my “someone” is now frolicking on the beaches of Chile on horseback, I have a hole in my toe. Well, that’s a bit dramatic — it’s just a small cut — but “hole in my toe” is fun to write. I was taking a shower yesterday when the glass shelf on top of the [...]
Strawberry Tofu

Growing up, I was fed tofu on a regular basis. Someone who is not so intimately familiar with Asian cuisine may not understand the true beauty of tofu. Though there’s a growing understanding of how it can be used in cooking, even now tofu is served across the city (I don’t know about elsewhere) as [...]
Tastes Like Chicken

My roommate Ernae is a H-U-G-E fan of Martha Stewart. She records MS’s show everyday and reads her blog on a daily basis. Me, I like the other kind of reality TV — you know, the kind skinny people have to smell duck poop to become a supermodel or fall in love. Yes, I [...]
Almond Milk

I bragged to a few friends that I made my own almond milk and though it is the easiest thing in the world, they all seemed enchanted! In the spirit of sharing the enchantment, here is the recipe. I got it from a blog called Happy Foody (thanks for the tip!), and the blogger in [...]
