What would a computer tech in the boonies DO without a motorbike?
I’m now very conscious of the construction silt drifting across the plaza, through the windows, and onto my screen & keyboard. I don’t want any visitors to need rubber gloves to avoid cooties. -

It's all double Dutch to me...haven't a clue what most of it is.

Bravo! Felt I’d been along in a sidecar.
Question to Speedy Moto: how many ordinary, ho-hum deliveries do you have, per ONE memorable trip like any of these?

Brilliant use of the pizza turntable (which in the US is called a Lazy Susan).

I've always wondered why it's called that?
-
-
I have no idea where “Lazy Susan” originated. As for ‘pizza turntable,’ does anyone put a pizza on it? Or does the name come from the size & shape of the disk normally used to hold condiments, sugar, s&p etc?

We put pizza on it so it's especially useful when it's a mixed pizza for example.

You’re the first people I’ve ever known to serve pizza on a pizza turntable! Is it a dedicated serving dish, or when you’re not having pizza, do you used it to keep people from having to awkwardly reach across the table?
This reminds me of something I’ve noticed: table manners and norms do vary so much in different countries, and when we went to our first dinner party in Buenos Aires, we were surprised to see everyone reaching right across each other for serving dishes and condiments. Because the food was neither individually served nor passed around, we nearly starved to death!

Table manners? Here in Argentina?

We actually have wagers on which of the cousins will reach for the chorizo before everyone else.
Table manners are certainly missing in the Argebntine etiquette book...
I remember one of the old uncles told me just after I arrived, " John , if you want to eat at the family parties , you must learn how to push and shove . No one wiull think badly if you do so...."

It could be our British sense of fair play which holds us back because I still use the same table manners I was brought up with. However, I am learning to make sure all the delicacies don't disappear before I've had a chance to sample at least some of them.
I mentioned table manners to the youngster and he replied that he didn't see any point in conforming to that kind of crap.

Have to say I haven't really noticed the lack of table manners here.... if it's a case of getting 'stuck in' I'm all for it!! The female neighbours have commented to my wife how nice it is to see me moving over to give her the inside whenever they see us walking on the pavement. It's something I've always done.

“Stuck in?”
I don’t think it’s a lack of table manners, but just different customs. I’m remembering the dinner party where we almost starved, and the people were British, Italian, Lithuanian too, not just Argentines. But the Europeans had lived in BsAs long enough to conform to local customs.

The thing I like most about our close Argentine friends asados is the lack of one-upmanship shown. They don't give a stuff about table manners, how you're dressed or the quality of wine you bring with you. That tells me they're real friends and are just glad to have you there.
OTOH I remember the time we were invited to an estancia for the birthdy bash of a heart specialist friend of my wife. He and his family were great but the majority of his fellow doctor guests were a right pain in the arse!!

It would be surprising if dress or table manners came into play at a picnic or an asado, wouldn’t it?
