10 Amazing Places To Visit In Saudi Arabia

[ideas-4-stories]

hiiii this is the first time i ever do an ask so sorry if i get it wrong or it gets too long<3

i have a super self-indulgent cross guild au idea i wanted to share so ...

basically with this im just going back to wattpad 2016 but id love to see an au in wich one piece occurs in argentina, like plotwise is the same(or isn't idk) and well the strawhats aside i think it would give the cross guild gang a very funny twist in their diologue and mannerism, like mihawk being from cordoba capital and he talks with the classical accent but, dead serious. and instead of drinking wine he drinks fernet straight up, no coca or anything just a cup of fernet that he treats with the same reverence and seriousness.

buggy is sooo porteño coded, like he deff says "boluo' (boludo [dummy] with an accent)" every two words and he pretends hes from puerto madero or smth but he is from quilmes and has the quilmes experience to be a flashy pirate that knows when and how fast to run

also crocodile being from either la pampa or chubut bc sand and dirt are so mixed up here he would have so much power its insane, and either way he is kind of a gaucho and drinks mate so bitter that no one wants to fucking drink with him

im sorry if its too long i just got excited 👉👈

also also ive made a post ab cross guilds music taste in this au so yeah thank u and sorry

Do not worry about it! I don't think it's too long.

Oooo, coming from different parts of Argentina sounds right. I'm not fully sure these places, because I don't live there. But how described these places, yeah that sounds right.

😆 Not Buggy saying dummy every other sentence, maybe to the people he doesn't like and/or sarcastically to his friends and family.

I think I have seen the Cross Guild's music taste post of yours. But I'm not sure. You don't need to be sorry, I like asks. I'm sorry it took some time to get your ask done. There's so many, and life can be exhausting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirí_Lugones

Pirí Lugones, the daughter of the torturer, the granddaughter of the poet, is a name that will forever be etched in the annals of history. This fierce and indomitable woman, born of Argentine soil, was a woman ahead of her time, a woman who defied societal norms, and fought relentlessly for the rights of the oppressed. During the 1970s, she joined the Peronist Armed Forces and, later, the Montoneros, adopting the nom de guerre Rosita. Her missions consisted mainly of intelligence, press, and charity work. 

In her lifetime, Pirí Lugones saw the worst of human depravity, as her father inflicted unspeakable horrors upon countless victims. Yet, despite her family's past, she was a woman who embodied hope, courage, and the unyielding spirit of the human soul. When she was imprisoned and tortured by the military dictatorship in Argentina, she taunted her captors with the words, "I'm the daughter of the torturer Lugones, who invented everything that you're doing." Her unwavering bravery and unshakeable spirit made her a hero to countless individuals, a shining example of human resilience in the face of adversity.

Pirí Lugones was born into a family that had been touched by greatness. Her grandfather, Leopoldo Lugones, was a poet and a writer who had helped to shape Argentine culture. He had concocted an ideology of Catholic reaction and the romanticization of the Gaucho as the Argentine cowboy individualist. Though Pirí Lugones herself was not a novelist, she inherited her grandfather's sense of the power of words and the ability of language to shape the world.

Leopoldo Lugones, the grandfather of Pirí Lugones, was a master of weaving together the threads of Argentine conservatism. He concocted an ideology of Catholic reaction and crafted an image of the Gaucho as the embodiment of the Argentine spirit. Lugones was a brilliant writer who created a mythical Gaucho figure that inspired the Argentine people to embrace their heritage and resist modernization. He used the Gaucho as a symbol of resistance to the modern world, a lone cowboy fighting against the tide of progress.  The Gaucho War (La guerra gaucha) is a 1942 Argentine film   based on the novel by Leopoldo Lugones published in 1905. The film premiered in Buenos Aires on November 20, 1942 and is considered by critics of Argentine cinema to be one of the most successful films in history.

Like the cowboys of America's Wild West, the Gauchos of Argentina were seen as rugged individualists, fiercely independent and unyielding in their beliefs. Lugones romanticized their way of life, portraying them as warriors of the pampas, living on the fringes of society, fiercely defending their traditions and their land. He drew on their sense of honor and their fierce independence, painting them as symbols of the Argentine spirit.

Lugones' vision of the Gaucho was highly influential in shaping Argentine conservatism. His ideas helped create a culture that embraced individualism, free enterprise, and resistance to modernization. He crafted a vision of Argentina as a nation of cowboys, with the Gaucho as the central figure, standing alone against the forces of modernity and globalization.

But Pirí Lugones was no mere inheritor of her family's legacy. She was a woman who blazed her own trail, who fought her own battles, and who carved out her own place in history. She used to introduce herself as "Pirí Lugones, granddaughter of the poet, daughter of the torturer." This was a woman who understood the complexity of the human experience, who recognized that each of us is the product of our past, but that we also have the power to shape our own destiny.

In the end, Pirí Lugones was a woman who stood for something greater than herself. She fought for the rights of the oppressed, for the dignity of the human spirit, and for the possibility of a better world. Her legacy lives on, a testament to the power of the human spirit, and a reminder that, even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.

From Flames to Feasts: The Evolution of Asaparri and Fire Cooking Culture

Introduction:

The ancient art of grilling over an open flame has undergone a remarkable evolution, and at the heart of this transformation lies the Argentine tradition of Asaparri. This culinary heritage, steeped in history and born from the rugged gaucho culture, has not only stood the test of time but has also contributed to shaping the global fire cooking culture. In this article, we embark on a journey through time to explore the evolution of Asaparri and its profound impact on the way we celebrate the art of cooking over fire.

1. The Gaucho Legacy:

Asaparri finds its origins in the pampas of Argentina, where the gauchos - skilled cowhands - pioneered the art of cooking over an open flame. Their nomadic way of life demanded simplicity, and their culinary techniques celebrated the elemental power of fire.

2. The Asaparri Method:

At the heart of Asaparri lies the wood-fired grill, meticulously designed to harness the heat and infuse meats with a smoky essence. This method prioritizes patience, with meats cooked slowly over embers, allowing flavors to develop and meld.

3. Minimalism in Seasoning:

Asaparri embodies the notion that quality ingredients speak for themselves. Minimal seasoning, often just salt, allows the natural flavors of the meat to shine, underscoring the purity of the culinary experience.

4. The Communal Connection:

Beyond the act of cooking, Asaparri is a communal experience. It brings friends and family together around the grill, creating an ambiance of camaraderie and shared moments.

5. A Global Culinary Phenomenon:

While Asaparri remains deeply rooted in Argentine culture, its influence has transcended borders. Worldwide, people have embraced this approach to fire cooking, drawn to its craftsmanship, emphasis on quality ingredients, and the primal connection to fire.

Conclusion:

From its humble origins with the gauchos to its current status as a global culinary phenomenon, Asaparri represents the enduring allure of cooking over fire. As you embark on your own journey of exploring the art of fire cooking, consider enhancing your experience with the authentic charm of Argentinian BBQs and grills from Fuegos.co.nz.

One Apple A Day #166

Esquel, January 5th, 2017

The station of Esquel is a little more modern than the one in El Maitén. Here the feeling is more of a movie from the seventies but with WiFi. We wait for the train eating some empanadas and watching a group of kids using the parking for their small car-washing business. Crichetta would need a cleaning after our entertaining excursion on the gravel, but we love it like this, dirty and wild.

The museum of the station doesn't offer much, but it's a good place to kill the last 30 minutes before our ride, and we meet the lady who will be our guide in the train. When she asks if what language she should use, we have no doubts; it has to be Spanish!

When the train arrives, it makes quite an entrance with all the smoking, the clunking and the high-pitching bell. The train is indeed remarkable. The black and red locomotive is massive, and the wooden coaches suddenly take us back a century in the past. We soon discover the reason for this feeling; the locomotive was built in Germany in 1922 while the Belgian made coaches date back to 1926.

The trip is short, just 37 kilometres but it takes a good 50 minutes because the train moves slowly across the Pampa. And this is great because it gives us the time to contemplate the breath-taking scenario; the never-ending green and yellow plateau, the mountains at the horizon, the lazy cows grazing while the Gauchos (the cowboys) are running around on their horses.

We stop in a small village, one of the last reminders of the indigenous communities of this part of the world. We discover that when the European arrived, only a few centuries ago, they completely wiped out the existing inhabitants. Some of them are fighting for their right just to exist. We buy something to support their cause, and we head back to Esquel.

We can still feel in our bones and muscles the pleasure of the experience in the tent the night before. We opt for a comfortable room in a small hotel before searching a restaurant. We find a cosy place where we have some meat (it looks like in this part of the world, vegetables are only for the cows) and some red wine. Enough to be sure to fall asleep immediately. We must recover from the night before, and tomorrow we want to cover a long distance.

6 Essentials for an Authentic Argentine Asado

There’s no more quintessential Argentine tradition than the asado. Combining social connections with culinary craftsmanship, the asado is far more than just a simple barbecue. It’s a custom dating back to a time when wild cattle roamed the plains of La Pampa, in central Argentina. Back then, gauchos lived entirely off the land, eating the tender meat of this wild cattle, which they slow-roasted over an open flame.

Today, an asado looks quite different than it did in the mid-nineteenth century, but certain traditions are still upheld every time a group gathers around the grill. To ensure your next asado is authentically Argentine, here are six essential elements you’ll need to include.

1. Fire

At its core, asado is meat grilled in its purest form. Traditionally, the fire used to cook the meat is made with a combination of red-hot coals and firewood, though the exact type of wood may vary from region to region. Additionally, an authentic asador, or grill chef, won’t use lighter fluid to start the fire, as it can taint the flavor of the meat; starting the fire without flammable liquid is considered an important part of the asado ritual.

2. Grill

Once the fire is started, you need to wait for your grill to heat up. In Argentine asados, a simple iron grill called a parrilla is used. They come in all shapes and sizes, from compact versions that can fit in your apartment to massive commercial ones for restaurant use. Most parrillas are equipped with an adjustable height for the grill, which helps the asador regulate the temperature of the meat.

3. Meat

Perhaps the most important part of any asado is the meat. Generally, you’ll want to plan for about a pound of meat per person, and there are many meats to choose from. Beef is the obvious first choice, and the heart of the meal; every cut is served, from ribs to sirloin to skirt steak to ribeye to flank to tenderloin. Beyond beef, though, there are sausages, chorizo, chicken breasts, sweetbreads, chitterlings, and morcilla, or blood sausage. No matter which meat you’re grilling, the only seasoning that should ever be used is a coarse BBQ salt.

4. Sides

While meat is the main event at an asado, a host of accompaniments help to round out the meal. Simple salads, grilled vegetables, and peppers add a bit of greenery; fresh bread is served to sop up juices; and homemade condiments, such as chimichurri and salsa criolla, enhance the natural flavors of the delicious, slow-roasted meats.

5. Wine

No asado is complete without a glass (or two) of fine Argentine wine. As the 5th largest wine producing country in the world, Argentina produces many varieties of both red and white. Once the meat is grilled and the salads are assembled, it’s time to sit down with a heaping plate of food and a heavy pour of Argentina’s flagship sweet and spicy red wine, Malbec.

6. People

Above all, the tradition of asado is one of social gathering. They’re held to celebrate rites of passage, holidays, and other special occasions, but the sights and smells of an asado can be found taking place on any given weekend in Argentina. Invite your family, friends, and neighbors to enjoy this delicious meal, and you’ll make memories to last a lifetime.

Enjoy an Argentine Asado at Puerto La Boca in Little Italy, San Diego

If you’re hungry for an authentic Argentine asado, but you don’t have a parrilla of your own, let Puerto La Boca prepare it for you. Our parrillada (“El Conventillo”) is a sizzling platter of short ribs, skirt steak, culotte steak, chicken breast, chorizo sausage, blood sausage, and sweetbreads, prepared in traditional asado style, and big enough for two people to share. Pair it with a bread and chimichurri basket and a bottle of Malbec for a genuine Argentine experience.

Voted the #1 steakhouse in San Diego by Channel 10 News, there’s no better place to enjoy a night out with friends or family than Puerto La Boca Argentinian Restaurant. Call us at (619) 234-4900 to reserve your table today.

Rediscovering the Primitive Art of Cooking: Exploring Asaparri's Approach to Fire Cooking

Introduction:

In the heart of Argentina, where the timeless traditions of the gaucho culture meet the artistry of fire cooking, lies the essence of Asaparri. This renowned approach to grilling, deeply rooted in the primitive art of cooking over an open flame, has become a culinary phenomenon not only in Argentina but also around the world. In this article, we embark on a journey to explore the unique Asaparri method, its origins, and how it has shaped the way we perceive and savor the flavors of food cooked over fire.

1. The Gaucho Tradition:

Asaparri traces its roots to the gauchos, the skilled Argentine cowhands who roamed the vast pampas. These rugged individuals mastered the art of cooking over open flames as they tended to their herds, creating a culinary tradition that celebrated simplicity and authenticity.

2. The Heart of Asaparri: Wood-Fired Grills:

At the core of Asaparri lies the wood-fired grill, an indispensable tool that imparts a distinct smoky flavor to the meats. These grills are meticulously designed to control heat and airflow, allowing for precise cooking and flavor infusion.

3. Slow and Steady:

Asaparri emphasizes the importance of patience. Meats are cooked slowly over glowing embers, resulting in tender, succulent cuts that are seared to perfection on the outside while maintaining their juiciness on the inside.

4. Simplicity in Seasoning:

The Asaparri approach keeps seasoning minimal. The quality of the meat is allowed to shine, with just a touch of salt used to enhance the natural flavors. It's a testament to the purity of the ingredients.

5. Shared Moments:

Asaparri is more than just a cooking technique; it's a communal experience. Friends and family gather around the grill, sharing stories and laughter as they savor the delectable creations that emerge from the flames.

6. Beyond Argentina:

While deeply rooted in Argentine culture, Asaparri has found its way into culinary landscapes worldwide. Its emphasis on craftsmanship, quality ingredients, and the primal connection to fire resonates with those who seek an authentic and unforgettable grilling experience.

Conclusion:

Asaparri represents a return to the primitive art of cooking, where fire is the catalyst that transforms simple ingredients into culinary masterpieces. As you embark on your own journey of discovering the joys of fire cooking, consider enhancing your experience with the authentic charm of Argentinian BBQs and grills from Fuegos.co.nz. Our premium products not only pay homage to the Asaparri tradition but also invite you to embrace the timeless magic of grilling over an open flame, wherever your culinary adventures may take you.

What Travel Means To A Gentleman

When I say I want to travel, I don't mean I want to stay at resorts and go on tours with pre-programmed tour guides or buy key chains from souvenir shops. I don't want to be a tourist.  When I say I want to travel I mean I want to explore another country and be part of it.  I want to touch a country's soul and be a better person for it. I want to discover the streets of Macau - the ones away from the big casinos where real life happens.  I want to walk on beaches in Oman with a camel looking over my shoulder, then climb down to the Bimmah sinkhole for a swim.   I'll celebrate the arrival of the season's newborn animals with Mongolian nomads, and feel free amongst the dunes at Moltsog Els. I'll browse the bookstores of England; not the new ones but the old musty ones that remind me of the odour of my grandmother's basement.  I want to hike the rugged edges of the Himalayas again and perhaps give Nepal another chance.   What is it like to ride with the gaucho's in Argentina or the Uruguayan Pampas?  Maybe both.  I want to know. The Trans-Siberian Express has a ticket with my name on it for an epic journey from China to Moscow.  I want to go during the dead of winter to know firsthand the bitter cold of Siberia.  I want to feel Tahiti's soft white sand beneath my bare feet away from the crowds and contemplate what's right in the world.  Then I want to be amongst the tribes in West Papua immersing into the secretive tribal lives of the Dani people.  I want to wear a Koteka during a ceremony.

I want to meet people who are not like me, but people who I can like all the same.  Their culture, how they pray and their way of everyday life interest me greatly.  I want to see their smiles, listen to their hopes and wonder if what I offer them is anywhere near as valuable as what they give to me.  I want to take compelling photographs of places and people I meet.  I don't want a selfie.  I want to be a part of their story, not the other way around. I want my mind to be in constant awe of life on earth and everything that's in it.  I want to see the world with new eyes.  I want to look at a map and be able to remember how I was transformed by the places I've been to, the remarkable experiences I've had,  peculiar things I've seen, and more importantly, the people I've met.  The people who changed me.  The people who unconditionally took me into their lives as part of their families. I want to come home and realize that I have not come home whole, but have left a piece of my heart in each place I have been.  Part of me is already in many places around the world.  I want to leave more. This, I think, is what is at the heart of adventure and this is why I've made my life one. There is a magic in travel because it can be complex, yet fulfilling.  True life unravels throughout a journey and you discover parts of you that you never imagine.  There is beauty in discovering new places and cultures.  There is also beauty in discovering more about yourself.     Save Read the full article

Chatting to B, the super friendly manager of Estancia Los Potreros, she told me she had first come as a guest and within half an hour of setting out into the Argentinian countryside on horseback, she knew she had to quit her highly paid successful London Career and come and work here. This may seem like a crazy move to some however It’s easy to see how life here can be really addictive. It’s also clear to see how genuinely happy this career move has made her and I was excited to have my own estancia experience – which turned out to be one of the highlights of my 9 week road trip through South America!

Gaucho and guests ride into the evening sunshine on Estancia Los Potreros.

Estancia Los Potreros is 6000 acres of working cattle ranch that has remained in the same anglo-argentine family for 4 generations keeping that small friendly family business feel. It’s nestled in the Sierras Chicas mountain range situated between the pampas and the andes in the stunning region of Cordoba. 17 years ago, they decided to set up a luxury lodge as a base for horse riding holidays and to give guests the real estancia experience.

Estancia Los Potreros guides ride through the Pampas in the Cordoba countryside.

The luxury holidays are fully catered ( the food delicious and certainly not in short supply!) The accommodation is a stunning countryside lodge – I have to admit I was a little envious looking back at the dragoman tents! There is even a swimming pool overlooking the beautiful countryside which you will no doubt appreciate after long hot rides on horseback.

Every day will involve a horseback ride if you want it to – into the hills, the forests or even to a little swimming hole to cool off. If you prefer to explore on foot, there are plenty of walking trails to explore as well. There are also options to take longer trail rides over several days staying at other estancias or camping along the way.  If there is anything special happening at the ranch, guests are encouraged to get involved. Apparently in the next few days some of the cows will be having IVF treatment and the guests will be invited to help herd the cows and observe what happens. There is even the opportunity to learn and play horse polo!

In your downtime you may be wine tatsting ( Kevin who owns the estancia also owns a share in a local boutique winery and is extremely generous with his supply of delicious wine!)  There may be opportunities to see some local musicians perform some gaucho music and you can even get involved in the kitchens and have a cooking lesson to learn how to make the perfect empanadas! And for the real cowboy experience, there will be an opportunity to taste a delicious BBQ and whilst it’s being cooked, try your hand at lassooing … a barrel!! This is trickier than it looks but for a moment, I felt like a real cowgirl!

  I can’t recommend Estancia Los Potreros enough. I absolutely loved my stay and would definitely consider going back for a longer stay at some point in the future – next time it’ll be the luxury lodges for me! So if a luxury stay in a beautiful lodge riding horses in the countryside each day sounds like your type of R&R, then I suggest visiting www.estancialospotreros.com and booking your trip now! You won’t regret it!

Chatting to B, the super friendly manager of Estancia Los Potreros, she told me she had first come as a guest and within half an hour of setting out into the Argentinian countryside on horseback, she knew she had to quit her highly paid successful London Career and come and work here.
