Breakfast Tacos

Sausage, egg, potato, onion, and cheese tacos

These are the best!  Put them on the list for your next breakfast ASAP.  Soft fluffy eggs, potatoes, sausage, onion, cheese, and hot sauce in a warm tortilla.  Brunch at it's best!

Ingredients: (4-6 tacos)
1 large potato diced largely
8 Eggs beaten
1 onion
2 Sausage links (I cheated with my last remaining chicken apple sausage from the states, but chorizo or ham would be awesome too).
Cheese grated
1/2-1 tsp cumin
1/2-1tsp garlic salt
Ground pepper
Tortillas

Directions: Add a generous amount of oil to a large skillet.  Add the diced potatoes and cook with cumin and garlic salt for about 20 min on a low-med heat.  About 1/2 through add the onions.  When the potatoes are done cooking add the eggs and sausage (only if the meat is already cooked).  Turn the flame on low and slowly scramble the eggs.  Add pepper, more salt, and hot sauce to taste.  Serve on warmed tortillas and sprinkle with cheese.  THE BOMB!

Phuket Restaurant Review

I have heard about Phuket quite a lot, at least from the expat community.  It comes up in the top 10 of guia oleo all the time, and while I'm quite particular about my Thai food, I decided to give it a shot.  It was a nice change of pace from the empanada-tarta-licuado rotation, but it goes straight on the "good for Argentina, but I've had better" list.  Service was good and the place is understated and cute, but if I go back, I'm going straight for the noodles that I didn't get to try because were llama-ing the attention.  Overall, not bad and worth a try if you're in the neighborhood.

Green chicken curry

We asked for extra spicy to the point that the order form had 1 to 3 peppers next to each item and we made the waitress put an additional pepper and side note requesting as spicy as possible.  All those flecks are chili-peppers and this dish was HOT.  Almost overboard, but good.  Again, I've had better....

Ribs.  Se ve bien, no???

I always go for the short ribs in Argentina because they're such a rare treat.  These were pretty good, but a little too salty.  The sauce that came ALL over them was reduced too long and the flavors got too concentrated.  It could have been the bomb and are almost worth another shot. 

Ribs
This plate had onda por lo menos.
