SONG OF THE WEEK - "Lay With You" by El DeBarge feat. Faith Evans

"Lay With You" by El DeBarge feat. Faith Evans

"...I’m asking a lot but I don’t want you to go away,
Cause I can’t get you out of my mind, girl.
I could just look at you,
All day long..."

The album Second Chance (2010) is El DeBarge's first new album in 16 years. "Lay With You" was the 2nd single released and it has already peeked at # 20 on the U.S. R&B chart. Proving that he hasn't lost any of his falsetto swoon, "Lay With Me" echos the best of early '90's R&B without ever sounding dated. A summery laid back groove that sounds that much sweeter with the addition of the soulful Faith Evans.

From the album "Second Chance" (2010).

Argentine food

[many thanks to Forrest Beck for this post]

I just bought SaltShaker Spanish-English-Spanish Food & Wine Dictionary - Second Edition, a book you may want to make your readers aware of since I have personal experience using it. It is another dictionary, but unique in that it focuses largely on Argentinian foods. The author is Dan Perlman who runs saltshaker.net, a great website for anyone who enjoys trying to locate good food and wine in Buenos Aires. I bought the first edition when Nicole and I lived in Argentina for 4 months in 2007/08. This updated version contains 3000 more entries, but most importantly comes in a Kindle version so I can use it on my iphone/iPad in BA (though I'm not toting my iPad around BA anytime soon).
