  • Eating an entire cow (not in one sitting) part 2

    I’m a little behind on my cow eating entries.    I had my second steak experience on Jeff’s birthday which was almost a week ago.    We went to a restaurant called  La Cabrera.  This is like the Uno’s of Buenos Aires.  It’s extremely popular and extremely good.   It’s mostly tourists  but locals go too because it’s that good.

    We got there way too early for dinner – 9:30. But even then there was a wait. A hostess took our names (in English) typed them into the computer and told us to come back in 45 minutes.

  • Dogs from our balcony

    Jeff and I see these dogs to our right every morning as we sit on our balcony drinking coffee.

    These dogs are waiting while their dog walker picks  up another dog.


    If we look to the left we see these dogs waiting for their dog walker.

    And in case you’re wondering, here is how it works when one has to go to the bathroom.  All the rest wait while one goes in the street.

    The white dog gets in trouble every day for being on the wall. Then if the 2nd beagle is in tow (sometimes he stays home) all hell breaks loose.

    The white dog always looks like he wants to be with the other group.

    But then he seems to get over it when his walker arrives.


    (apologies for the music on this video.  I was bad mouthing the dog walker, so I needed to cover that up.)

    And that’s only on our side of the street. Here’s what’s going on across the street.

  • Eating an entire cow – part 1 (the video)

    Here’s a video of our “first” cow eating experience.    You can tell by the end of the night I had had more wine than beef.

  • Eating an entire cow (not in one sitting) Part 1

    Instead of a parilla (Argentinian BBQ place) we went to our favorite restaurant, Annette.  Since we’ve only been here about a week, it doesn’t take much to become our favorite.

    One good glass of malbec and a dulce de leche dessert and you move to the top of our list.

  • Idea for Starbucks

    Now that I don’t work there anymore I can start pestering all my Starbucks friends with my great ideas.    But for real, this really is a good idea.
