I had another yummy meal at 1 of my local favorites: Origen.  The corner of Humberto I and Peru here in San Telmo.  One of tonite’s specials of the day was an amazing “Wok Hindu”.  It had grain rice, bean sprouts, zucchini, sesame seeds, diced chicken, peanuts, and pears.  IT was incredibly tasty – such [...]
