Anyway I've missed the last FT meeting for a few days. Is it any plan for a new one?
Cheers! and enjoy your asados
The next FT related event is the Cow Do V.... see details here:

There were a number of EZE paxs at the MIA AA terminal yesterday waiting for hotel shuttles in the MIA heat wearing coats. They had AA hotel vouchers in hand (their connecting flight to JFK got cancelled) and looked very uncomfortable in their coats. This morning there were more paxs (from EZE I assume) boarding an AA flight to JFK again with again coats on. Did someone not advise them of August weather in MIA and New York.

Maybe these folks were anticipating chilly weather on arrival in EZE... after all, despite the current 'spring' temperatures, it should normally be rather chilly down here in Buenos Aires.

Doode... you need to try a properly made provoleta.... thats cheese with a sound taste structure - herbs or no herbs.

By Raclette I meant the swiss dish......

Of course.... many ways to add taste while holding the herbs. You a fan of garlic...?

Never had Raclette...???? Great winter dish actually..... its kinda like Fondue... but different. Good stuff. I like to say that a proper Provoleta is the Argentine version of Raclette....

It's a beautifully decorated hotel - a bit of a disappointment that they didn't have any San Juan Reserva though.

Good job it was free I wouldn't pay those rates or the mini bar prices.
I'll stick to the Bisonte Palace in future.
