La cocina argentina

El mate argentino es un símbolo de la Amistad.

Tomar mate es un ritual que se acompaña de la charla y el tiempo que dedicamos a los amigos y a la familia.

El yerbero contine la yerba mate y el azúcar con los que preparamos esta infusión.
Mates fileteados (painted with filete porteño) http://www.taconesaltos.tripod.com/




El lugar más cálido aunque no el único es la cocina, lugar de la casa familiar donde se prepara la comida que distingue cada país.


La cocina argentina tiene aromas diversos, depende siempre de las raíces de la familia.

Inmigrantes, mestizos, criollos todos un toque de sabor... las pastas italianas, las empanadas criollas, las cazuelas españolas,....

Pero es el asado que ... abandona la cocina y sale al exterior de la casa, al patio, al vecinadario... porque inunda su amora cada rincón. Tal véz un domingo sea la ocasión elegida para llenar la parrilla de costillas, chorizos... o porque no un día de Fútbol ???

Sunday in Buenos Aires

Practising Spanish language and eating cherryes with Haakon and Even (from Norway) We walk along Defensa st. in a hot spring day. We pass through the tradicional market when we talk about antiques and were amazed by traces... Then we continue to walking toward Plaza Dorrego when Even who admires Carlos Gardel got a original advertising-picture from about 50 years ago for $90 (pesos)

An ice coffee prepare for sweet lady in a cozy coffee shop in an old house-shop help us to refresh and also we refresh argentine History talking about "La revolución de Mayo" and consequences...

The beat of Drummers arrive marking the end of Sunday market in San Telmo and our meeting... The day is over??? NO in Buenos Aires.

I kept walking along Defensa until Parque Lezama where I expected to see Tango-chess game "live"

A huge chessboard, pieces were performed by Tango dancer: kings,queens, rooks ,Knights ,bishops, and pawns were dancing around!!!
