La Belleza que es... ¡Comida Argentina!

Those who have been reading this blog or spent even one skype date talking to me know that I am obsessed with the food here in Argentina. And for this reason, I've decided to devote this blog entry to my food experiences here in this beautiful country. All of the following "platos," save the last two, were made from scratch and with all fresh ingredients by my host mamá, Graciela. So feast your eyes on the dishes I've tasted this past week! (And forgive my poor photography skills... I'm no food network photo expert)
