Asado!

One of the things John and I were really happy about in moving to this new house is having some outside room.  Our bedroom opens right onto the balcony!  We have a great parilla (barbeque grill) and almost immediatley made use of it when we moved in! 

We invited over some friends, all threw meat on the grill and ended up with some great barbeque!  We weren't exactly sure how to go about lighting it, using the charcol, etc. but really, it's not that different than the in the states. 

A really common (and very cheap) thing to grill here is chorizo sausage.  They grill it and eat it in a sandwich with some salsas and maybe mayo, ketchup and mustard and it's delic!! We had several choripans that night as well as some steak, ribs, and other meats!



mmmmm

A New Home!

I´m late in posting this, but about a month ago John and I moved houses.  We only moved about 15 blocks, but it seems like a huge move!  The neighborhood  is still Palermo but it´s now "Palermo Soho" and not "Palermo Hollywood" whatever that means...

It´s a huge move in the sense that it has a totally new feel.  The neighborhood is a little bit older, a lot more residential and a lot busier.  We live on the 8th floor (the top floor) of a strange architectural building and have a parilla (argentine grill) and couldnt be happier! 

We live with a French couple and a guy from Mexico.  When we moved in we lived with a Mexican guy named Rodrigo-he moved out and another Rodrigo from Mexico moved in-weird!

The kitchen-small, but does the trick

The living room-notice the HUGE window that spans one whole wall!

Hallway-nothing too special here

Living room again-not the nicest, but it works!
