Caught red-handed in my favorite cookie store in Ushuaia! They sold cookies called "Alfajores," two shortbread cookies sandwiched together "Oreo-style" with Dulce de Leche (caramel) in between, then rolled in coconut. Irresistible!

This was one of the most delicious meals I remember in a long time (note the cute "stack" of french fries.) The steak paired with the Argentinian Malbec wine was scrumptious! (www.casimirobigua.com)
