La Soberana

I’m blogging a lot because I’m glued to a desk writing articles all day. Today I completed 6 assignments, each requiring intense research because I know little about the topics. But that’s life. When I need a break I write blog posts, or view videos on YouTube.

This evening I had dinner with Ramiro who recently returned from his work-related trip to Dallas and Miami. There’s this take-out place on Cabildo in Capital Federal called La Soberana that he thought I might like. The man who took my order was really nice and tried to speak English with me. I’m always surprised at how proficient Argentines are with the English language.

Anyway, for dinner I ordered bomba de papa y queso, (a rice ball stuffed with potato and cheese):

And for dessert I had a delicious slice of budín de pan (bread and milk) with a dollop of dulce de leche:

Ramiro ate terrina de verdura stuffed with espinaca:

And for dessert he had a tiramisú doused in rum:

I devoured my portion in record time. Now I’m listening to the news. I love the ominous music they play with everything. So dramatic. It’s almost worse than CNN or FOX. Almost.
