Let me be the first to say that I’m a sucker for a thick mayo-based potato salad. And I don’t even really like mayonnaise!

After my Sophomore year in college, I lived for a summer with a friend in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We had a lot of fun in those 10 weeks (maybe too much fun actually). While I don’t remember much Spanish unfortunately, I do remember a few things about Argentina: 1) Argentinians are beautiful. It’s something in [...]
