This is Not a Food Blog

But we do have some pretty great meals. Here are a some favorites from the last few months. Or, these are the ones of which I've taken and uploaded pictures:

Apple Pie - Thanksgiving. L made the crust (the secret ingredient is LARD) and I made the filling and the little apple on top.

A picnic on the side of a lovely hill outside of Cartes after a morning at the outdoor market there: Empanadas (big tomato/tuna pastry), Choripan (bread filled with chorizo sausage), varied olives, super-cured sheep cheese, jamon (it's virtually impossible to have a meal in this country without some type of cured pork product. Especially picnics), and the best lemon soda ever.

 One of my weekend morning breakfasts. Boy am I spoiled. Oatmeal with fresh strawberries and brown sugar. Steaming coffee.

And now I'm off to eat a home made corned beef, boiled with potatoes, onions, and cabbage in (belated) celebration of St. Patrick's day. We don't...starve over here.
