Watching a little TV on a Saturday morning from bed never
hurts, so that’s exactly what I did. My Saturday was kicked off by watching Los
Angeles de Charlie, aka Charlie’s Angles.
Inevitably it was time for lunch after the movie, so I made
my way to my favorite panaderia and grabbed a few facturas. I can’t disclose
how many I purchased, but they went great with my mate.
Feeling kind of guilty for eating those delicious but artery
clogging pastries I had to make a quick visit to the gym. Everything was going
smooth until I looked down at my clock. It was 5:00 and prohibition started in
3 hours. It was time to make a trip to the store to grab some liters of beer
for tonight’s get together.
You heard me correctly; I made it through my first
prohibition. Apparently Sunday is primary voting day starting at 8am. Under Argentinean
law, they prohibit the purchase of alcohol form stores and clubs/restaurants 12
hours before polls open and 3 hours after polls close. Read more by clicking

Also on my agenda was to clean my apartment before everyone
arrived at 7:30(ish). After quickly washing the dishes and sweeping, the place
was ready. I now understand why my mom hates hardwood floors; they collect and show
a lot a dust and dirt.
Mario arrived a little after 7 pm and we went to grab the
ingredients for tonight’s menu…chicken tacos. Supermarket checkouts in
Argentina are extremely inefficient. With two people in front of us we stood in
line for nearly 20 minutes.
After a massive hunt for some ripe avocados, everyone was
in the apartment having a good time. Listening to music, watching YouTube
videos, twerking videos, and playing several card games, we had ourselves
another successful “What’s Cooking, Good Lookings.”
