A few years ago an Argentine friend of ours convinced us to put a big (HUGE) dollop of dulce de leche in our little cup of expresso (or cortado) and - though I don't know if it is a dessert or a drink - it is fantastic. Since dulce de leche is simply milk 'n sugar - but better - it's perfect. We’re living in B.Aires right now and loving the food and friends.

Also, Bridget, are you going more towards Cordoba than BA? I know we met quite a few bird (pigeon, I think?) hunters at the Cordoba airport last June. Cordoba is very different from BA, but the people still like kids and the weather should be nice in October. There are lots of things to see/do! I’ll second the milanesa and malbec recommendations.

Given the background of diabetes in my family I have to near-physically restrain myself from making it every time I stumble across the ingredients, because I'd just eat it straight from the bowl, put it on biscuits, dip all kinds of fruit in it, stir it into my coffee, and anything else I could conceivably pair it with!

Let's just say that the Churros Relleno from Mexico City visit me in my dreams. That and the tortas. Your pictures just made me hungry. It's just not the same here.

If you're renting a place, you can ask them help you find a sitter while the kids are asleep so you can go out too. Argentines love kids, and Buenos Aires has a zoo, parks, bakeries, and best of all you don't have to worry about them drinking the tap water and ending up sick the whole trip. It won't be like home, of course, but your kids will be fine. Don’t leave the kids home, you can work it out.

Seriously... there's not a South American Spanish word for pancake?
