Eating the Globe: Argentina

Very proud of this. A friend and I finished this Parrillada for Three. It's from a food truck next to Fisherman's Wharf, of all places. The meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The proprietor even said if we were still hungry after eating the platter, he'd give us more!

Eating the Globe: Nepal

This was bad.

If you ever had the fortune of sitting across from me and watching me eat, you'll know that I will eat anything and I will finish everything on the plate. 

Not this time.

The menu said this goat curry was a traditional Nepalese dish. Everything was so bland. Plus, the goat had so many little bones, it became a chore to eat.

On Thursday, I'm going to eat at an Argentine meat place.

Surviving the Darien Gap

A bit overly dramatic and obviously the guy had a support crew, but this is the most well-made depiction of the Gap.

Johnny Depp is sorry, Australia

He and his wife brought two dogs to Australia without reporting them to customs. His punishment was making this video.

Bahrain GP behind-the-scenes photos

Thanks to Tarlan for these. The photos of the happy marshals/fans are almost more fun than the photos of the F1 drivers (from the present and the past).

Whom to root for in F1

Nico Rosberg is having a great run. He has won the last six races overall and the first three races of the season. I still think Hamilton is going to win the championship. But if Nico clinches it in 2016, I will have to find a new underdog to support.

In looking at the current roster, here are the candidates:
Most wins without a championship
Rosberg (17)
Massa (11)
Ricciardo (3)

Most podiums without a win
Grosjean (10)
Bottas (8)
Perez (5)
