Dinner at the depto (departamento = apartment)

THURSDAY 03/18/10

Tyrone had planned a dinner for the group of 4 Argentines that had brought him to Gualeguaychu, as well as another Argentine friend that he had met and her 2 friends.  He had been preparing food for two days and had a nightmare that everything had gone wrong – he was so concerned about everything going well, and he really put a lot of work into the meal.  My main task was buying plastic plates & silverware, since we didn’t have enough regular ones for everyone.  It didn’t seem like it’d be such a tough task, and even though I went to Jumbo, where I knew they’d have something, they had a very minimal selection.  The silverware was extremely flimsy and all of it was quite expensive, for the lack of quality, and it didn’t quite seem adequate to serve with such a great meal, but it was that or buy real silverware.  We had a Caesar salad, a potato salad, a curry rice dish with chicken, and steak!

It was great food, and it felt really good to entertain in the apartment.
