If you only know three words of spanish in Buenos Aires, make it "Bife de Lomo"

'Bife de Lomo' for those not in the know is the name of the choicest cut of beef in the great parilla (barbeque) restaurants of Buenos Aires. Attached is a picture of my beautiful steak from last night.

In the interest of my health, I've been limiting my consumption of steak to once weekly, and last night was the magic night for this week.

For the heavenly price of $18 pesos (about $7 CAD) I enjoyed the most tender, juicy and lean cut of steak I've ever had the pleasure of consuming. Add about another $18 pesos for a beautiful bottle of Argentinian Malbec vino tinto (red wine) and you've got a meal fit for a king.

At the risk of being obsessive about things, I've included a second picture where you can see a cross section of this fine steak. Ok, I'm going to stop rambling on about the steak now.

The weather in BsAs is actually starting to warm up a bit. Today was a gorgeous day (maybe 15 degrees or so at the peak) so I managed to get out for my first run here. Our residence is located relatively near to a huge group of parks, so there's plenty of room to run. Thankfully the parks are traffic free - truly my biggest fear in this city is the insanity of the drivers. Otherwise, it's starting to feel like home.
