Last night we had a relatively light dinner. Some leftover steak and a medley of veggies - espinaci, broccoli and some roasted red bell pepper. Around 11ish, Hugo got hungry again so we decided to try the delivery option for a snack. Much like NYC, this city delivers anything and everything - restaurant takeout, groceries, gelato...even a cafe con leche. Hugh ordered 4 empanadas - two ham and cheese, one cheese and onion and one of their special - spicy carne. Cost 8 pesos or about $2.50US The photo above is what we got. yummmm. yes, i've been doing localizada and running around the nearby lake but daily deliveries of empanadas and dulce de leche gelato is definitely going to make Ambi muy gordo muy pronto. its hard to resisit though as the food is so good.
This morning we got an in home visit from a chubby el doctor Jorge - Utta's new vet. Love that they make house calls. his english was not great but between our broken spanish, and some pantomime, we got along fine and understood each other. He's a surgeon who specializes with bulldogs so has done dozens of cesarians etc. he's also experienced with megaesophaegous and questioned whether that was her true diagnosis since he's never seen a dog in as good health as Utta with the condition. that was nice to hear. towards the end of the one hour visit (no rushing off of course) he asked hugh if he like to fish. I smell a man-date coming but hugh has actually been a bit timid given his limitations with conversation. yesterday, we spotted two nice looking bulldogs in a nearby park while we were in a taxi. i think Utta is going to be just fine here.
