Poor Photo Documentation

Remember how I said I’m not a fancy expat with an iPhone? Well my Argentine better half is, so I realized that we had some proof of our delicious endeavors of late. The really crappy shot of the Chinese chef with the duck is obviously of my own doing, thanks to the trusty Blackberry that I’ve had for like 49 years. Bon apetit, Enjoy, Chau chau

Cooking with Casa SaltShaker

Hello peepz. After Friday’s porn-tastic squid shot, I thought I would post some more photos and information on the cooking class I took last week.

The way my schedule currently works, I have heaps of time to fart about during the day before heading to work in the afternoon. The kicker is that I have to work weekends and holidays without fail, so don’t turn green with envy just yet. Anyway, I was looking for something to get me out of the house and interacting with the world instead of just lazing about until 3:30pm, and was quite excited to see Dan’s Twitter announcing “Tentáculo Espectáculo” cooking extravaganza.

Food Porn Friday

I kind of feel like I blacked out at some point this week because it definitely doesn’t feel like it should be Friday yet. But it is! That makes me happy. It also means that another Food Porn Friday is upon us. Last night I dreamt about an octopus so it’s only fitting that it would be today’s craving. I leave you with this Willy Wonka-esque image of octopus with anoki mushrooms:

Food Porn Friday

Whenever I’m home I magically lose track of the days but I have not forgotten about our dear Food Porn Friday!! No, no, I’d never do that to you.

Here’s a lovely little photo of one of the incredible dishes from Zaytinya that we enjoyed the other night – Santorini Octopus. Mmmmm octopus. I could eat this until the cows come home. The whole menu is Mediterranean/Greek/Lebanese and contains dishes with nothing but the freshest and highest quality ingredients. Chef José Andrés was just named Chef of the Year! (He will be featured in Monday’s post)
