By: nilomis : February 14th, 2014-02:08
Very spicy, but as a starter to go with vodka or beer (those days crossing the 100F). Later (stop reading if you are a vegetarian) followed by a nice and juicy steak, direct from our Argentinean grill (coal, of course). Cheers, Nilo
Ah, guacamole . . .
By: Dr No : February 14th, 2014-02:18

Ah, my recipe . . .
By: Dr No : February 14th, 2014-02:37
. . . includes, among other vittles, Roma tomato and jalapeño peppers. Have you ever tried preparing chips from Japanese daikon radishes? Guac scooped by radish chips is the bomb!
Never. Nice hint ...

Wow, Francois!

The chocolate bars are outstanding. Back to the watch, it's one of the best Daytona incarnations (I'm not a particular fan of the ultra bling modern ones). Cheers, Nilo

Very powerful language.

I need to post a few more. The DNA is there across the range. HAGWE Bill PS the Doxa Collection will need to exposed also. Think "Doxa 300 Black Lung"
Recently I could learn about Sicura ...
By: nilomis : February 14th, 2014-10:44
A common mistake, at least here, is to believe that Sicura was a Japanese brand (I could bet on that, just few months ago). Then I learn more about Sicura and how Ernst Schneider acquired Breitling, run the two companies and then decided to drop Sicura. S...
Absolutely correct Sicura / Breitling
By: Bill : February 14th, 2014-10:59
When the quartz movement took over the industry in the 1970 Breitling was on the verge of bankruptcy and not ready to drop their beliefs in watch instruments the Italian industrialist acquired Breitling. Both companies remained separate entities and there...
