Desserts at Buenos Aires Cafe!

Last time we went to Buenos Aires we were too full for the dessert. This time however, we made sure to sample the fine pastries with our eyes and tastebuds. What we discovered was good cup of coffee, AND a surprising texture combo flavor thing we had not expected. Bueno to the cafe, very nice!

So one day we decided to go all out. We seasoned the brisket and then slow cooked it in the BBQ. Oh yes, the free Weber BBQ, nice. We waited in anticipation and once we cut it the glorious smoke rings appeared. What a delightful meal we had that day! All I can say it, the mesquite charcoal that we've been buying has turned out to have a positive effect on our grilling so far, and cheap!

A speciality that we first discovered in San Jose, California, is replicated in our kitchen with the help of master chef Rick Bayless and his daughter Lanie. whipped ingredients nearly matching a crepe recipe, the liquidy batter is poured into a clean iron skillet and baked until puffed. Once browned and depressed, you "top" it with fresh berries OR you place thinly sliced apples and brown sugar in the bottom before you pour the batter on it. The results are super.....

Sign Me Up! Get Sum~Dim Sum

Unbelievable! I have not had good dim sum since Tommy's Wok in Carmel and Dun Ho's in SF! Fabulous to the eye, and delicious. WOW. Another new favorite place. The BBQ Pork Bun was delightful. The rice flour bun was delicate, the perfect sponginess, and tasty. The pork on the inside was just right, not too sweet, and just enough. The Spinach Dumpling was by far the visually and tastefully appealing. Delicate rice wrapper in spinach with a spinach and mushroom filling. The Law Mai Gai, aka Sticky rice in Lotus Leaf was delicious and perfectly porportioned. Was Lauren's favorite. The eggroll was worth getting, stuffed full of fresh vegetables and the dipping mustard just hot enough for the nose to tingle. Jim said his Har Gao aka shrimp dumpling was very good. I will be back.
