Lazy days and Mondays, let’s brunch, darling

It’s been a lazy weekend.

We went to Sitges on Sunday night to watch the karaoke! We hadn’t been for a while and it was nice to be in familiar surroundings. Matius, the waiter, seemed pleased to see us. Usually on a Sunday night once the karaoke/show is over everyone leaves within a matter of minutes, not last night. I guess because Monday is a public holiday everyone was in a festive mood and we were the ones leaving as soon as the show was over, mainly on account of the big night the night before. It was a nice way to relax and enjoy the evening and not too hectic.

This weekend has certainly been all about brunch. Chris discovered this fabulous little place a few blocks from our flat and we went there for brunch this morning. It’s called Natural Deli and is @ Laprida 1672 and there is also one in Las Canitas @ Gorostiaga 1776. It’s a café and an organic food store. Frightfully sophisticated and chilled out, super designed and with a menu to match. The walls are decorated with stunning photographs of every subject you can think of and the salads looked to be possibly the best in Buenos Aires. I had the scrambled eggs and Chris a chicken sandwich but from the look of the other dishes being served I suspect we ordered possibly the two least exciting items. As with all “venues” in BsAs, relaxing it almost a requirement with wifi and papers available. I can certainly see myself visiting this place again and again. Next time I’ll have my camera with me.

As I mentioned earlier I am reading as much as I can about Argentina, currently focusing on finding out more about the Kirchners,triggered mainly by what seemed like some negative comments in some of the blogs I've been reading. While digging around I came across this interview that Time did with Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in September 2007, before she was elected. It has some interesting quotes in it, and two in particular caught my attention and gave me pause for thought. You can't be a capitalist only when there are investment profits but then a socialist when you experience losses. and We're not averse to capitalism. But if they used to say, "Workers of the world unite!" then we also say today, "Capitalists of the world, assume your social responsibility!" I'm intrigued by both of these ideas. The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US

Ølsen in Buenos Aires

Well Ølsen last night was great. It's in a stunning old warehouse with extremely tall ceilings and Scandinavian simplicity. The garden is a particular treat and a delight to enjoy when arriving. The food was good, although I wouldn't say that best and possibly not worth the price, it's not cheap, but the sharing starters with mini vodka shots were very good. After Ølsen, I came home and watched telly. I seem to becoming nocturnal.
