Amargo y Dulce: Fall Pears
http://bittersweetinuruguay.blogspot.com/2007/04/fall-pears.html
Tuesday, April 24, 2007. I wasn't impressed with this summer's peach crop (just as a reminder for our north american friends we already. Had our first summer). On the other hand, the fall pears have been amazing. I love sweet cold pears with lemon squeezed on them. Oh, come on.just try it. However, we tasted true pear delight our last night in Salto when we ordered peras al vino blanco. Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2005. 1 (750-ml) bottle white wine, Riesling or Viognier. Remove the vanilla bean from the...

Amargo y Dulce: Shout out to a reader
http://bittersweetinuruguay.blogspot.com/2007/05/shout-out-to-reader.html
Wednesday, May 2, 2007. Shout out to a reader. Thank you mysterious "la vieja" for the recipe you left on FALL PEARS. I made it last night when I had guests for dinner and it was enjoyed by all! Two changes on the version you sent:. I plated one pear half. I served it cold, and instead of putting it over ice cream I melted a dark chocolate bar and a shot of chocolate liquor over low heat on the stove. I drizzled that over the pear and more on the plate. Can you tell I love chocolate? Mates in Plaza Matriz.

A quintessential Spanish dish of potatoes, eggs, and sausage, is often on the list of minutas. At your local restaurant. Minutas. Are entrees that can be prepared in minutes and also include milanesas, chivitos, hamburgers and panchos. I would love to find a good tortilla española. Labels: Out of town.

Amargo y Dulce: February 2007
http://bittersweetinuruguay.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 22, 2007. To my dining companion's dismay, I had not tried a bakery-made alfajor. In Uruguay until today; nearly five months after arriving in Uruguay. One time in desperation of a sugary fix, I purchased a packaged alfajor. I have yet to elaborate on dulce de leche. And how much the Uruguayans love it, but as a preview, the alfajor is the perfect representative of the national sweet. An alfajor, pictured above, in its most simple form is a type of masa or masita,. Is derived from the ...
