Assado


Yesterday we had dinner at Fabio and his families place in the mountains,
They prepared an Argentinean dish Called Assado, which is a BBQ of sorts and was really good, in fact the Argentine Italian Diego, did all the cooking, a really very cool guy, I did the face of a lion on his calf. There were 30 of us there and I have to say that I had the most awesome time, I mingled and met young and interesting Italian, that are not very different to South Africans in their hopes and dreams. We ate and they drank and in all, our hosts worked really hard to ensure everyone did.
Fabio and his brother supply hats to the European markets they have two wear houses that they design and then have manufactured and sell to the rest of Europe, in the market for raffia hats they are the largest. With all there success, they are just down to earth guys that treated us to an awesome day.
Another week begins and instead of a day off I’m tattooing my host here, Beppe, and I hope it will go quickly as I have stuff to do today and certainly want to look around, as the stores only open a 4pm today till 8pm….. got to shop…lol

A little this and that

It’s been a while since my last post, but I’m not going to bore you with bullshit post every second day. I have been meaning to get some stuff out, but have refrained, but some stuff just has to come out. Firstly, I have plugged a restaurant called “Orinoco” in Bree street, great value and authentic South American food, I’m afraid to say, no longer, I took Nicci for dinner and two ridiculous portions of poorly cooked food, cost over R480-00, I’m sorry, but that’s just retarded, and had the food been of an epic standard, it would not have pissed me off so much, but this is just fucked up. I complained to the owner, and the best she could do was shrug her shoulders, well that’s blown it for me, they certainly will not see me there again, and I would suggest you stay away too. It is just amazing how the odd little magazine article and a little plug here and there can give people such an attitude, Bob said it best, “Be good to the people you meet on the way up, cause you’re b...

The World Fuck..... sorry I mean CUP

I'm Italian and I'm pissed at Italy going out of the world cup, as Italians we are just build that way when it comes to soccer, but right now I'm pissed! I'm pissed at a Mexican ref that's just an asshole, pissed that Suarez felt it necessary to bite someone, but most of all I'm pissed that a poes like Mario Balotelli gets to play in a world cup, when he has to be without doubt the biggest waste of space on the european continent, I just can't find the right negative superlatives to describe his performance on and off the field. I'm not even going to get into his performance on and off the field. That's the one and only world cup post from me....

What has happened to it? It seems that service is a thing of the past, that as consumers we have no right to decent service, let alone GOOD service. It seems that people who own, or work within a store feel like they are doing you a favor, like dude, you are taking up valuable time they could be spending doing.... what?  For fuck sake, this is your job! Your chosen profession!  I r...
