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.....

Thanksgiving Dunch

One of our greatest joy is cooking for family and friends. Todays Dunch (Dinner~Lunch) menu was Pozole, Chile Rellenos, Pork/Sofrito Tamales, Corn/Chile/Cheese Tamales, Salsa, Queso, and the add ins. If you could smell the beautiful scent of the Ancho, Pasilla, Anaheim, Jalapeno, and New Mexico Chiles. Some blended, some roasted, some dried. Labor of love for sure. We made enough Tamales to last a family of seven for at least two to three months (maybe). Regarding the Salsa, I included one roasted tomato, very nice flavor and smell.

Viva Buenos Aires Cafe!

Jim, Lauren and I had the best lunch today!
http://www.buenosairescafe.com/
We ordered the roasted pepper and corn soup, the famous Lomito Beef Sandwich with fries, and three beautifully crafted Empanadas (Carne Picante, Carne Suave, and Verdura) served with chimichurri sauce. The sandwich was so decadent, cooked perfectly, and melt in your mouth beef, crisped bread, yum! The Empanadas, very flaky, flavorful. This is my new favorite place. We didn't have room for dessert but next time we'll try to spare some space in the belly. Very friendly waitstaff, attentive and family friendly. By noon it was packed and with good reason. The pictures are of HALF EATEN meals, we were so absorbed in the tasting and enjoying that I realized halfway through that I wanted to blog this.
