February 14th has become a renowned holiday. Valentine's day or, depending on one's relationship/marital status, Singles Awareness Day. In honor of the occasion the men of the BA STINT team decided to do something a little special for the ladies. This blog will recount the details of the lovely evening.
When Cari, Jessica, Katie, and Tiffany arrived at our apartment, they were met by a dapperly dressed Ben who gave them each a dozen red roses. Upon entering our apartment, they were met with a candle-lit table set and ready for the dinner. John Mark served an original appetizer of twice baked avocados. Next came one of my contributions, a salad adorned with nuts and fruit and covered in a home-made balsamic vinaigrette dressing (salad dressing doesn't exist here...). The main course consisted of Bife de Lomo (a ribeye cut), Kraft macaroni and cheese (it's a delicacy here because it has to be brought from the states). We topped off the meal with a yogurt and fresh fruit parfait for dessert.
After a nice extended chat, we unveiled a jig that we wrote for the occasion to the tune of Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven. (Note the following terms: Mario, Dana our big bosses in Argentina and the States, respectively. Cena - dinner in spanish. Callao - one of the major avenues in BA)
As we were all dressed nicely for the occasion, we closed out the night with a photo shoot.
