Asado.
While February brings a winter chill to the northern hemisphere, Argentina is currently in the peak of summer.
This is the prime season for long, sun-drenched gatherings centered around the parrilla. The ritual is a direct legacy of the 18th and 19th-century Gauchos, the nomadic horsemen of the pampas who survived on vast herds of wild cattle. They developed the technique of slow-roasting meat over open fires using only wood and salt, a method that transformed tough cuts into tender feasts.
Authentic asado ignores the clock, relying on the steady glow of brasas—embers from wood or charcoal—to cook meat over a gentle heat for hours. The variety on the grill serves as a technical map of Argentine butchery. It typically begins with Provoleta, a thick slab of cheese grilled until the crust is caramelized and the center is molten, alongside Chorizo a la parrilla. The main event features Tira de asado, short ribs cut crosswise to reveal the bone, and the lean, flavorful Vacío. In the deepest rural traditions, you will still see the Asador Criollo, where whole lambs are splayed on metal crosses and roasted vertically over an open fire for half a day.

This week in 1980, the Fleetwood Mac single “Sara” peaked on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #7 (February 1)
Speaking in a radio interview for the Friday Rock Show with Tommy Vance in the early 1990s, Stevie Nicks said the song was partially written about her good friend, Sara Recor, who had an affair with and then married Mick Fleetwood.
The relationship between Fleetwood and Sara effectively ended the romance between he and Stevie Nicks.
In his 2014 autobiography, Fleetwood agreed with Nicks’ version of the song’s origins.
However, Nicks' former boyfriend and Eagles great Don Henley claimed that the song is about their unborn child.
In a 1991 interview with GQ, Henley recalled:
“I was building my house at the time, and there's a line in the song that says 'And when you build your house, call me.'"
Back in 1979, Nicks had said, "If I ever have a little girl, I will name her Sara. It's a very special name to me”, and in a 2014 Billboard interview she admitted:
"Had I married Don and had that baby, and had she been a girl, I would have named her Sara...
It's accurate, but not the entirety of it."
"Sara" began as an epic 16-minute demo, which was eventually edited down to 6 minutes 22 seconds for the album version, and 4 minutes 37 seconds for the single, which leaves out the middle verse and musical bridge.
Songfacts reports that Stevie claimed the "real version" has about nine more verses and tells quite a story…
The song from the “Tusk” LP peaked at #7 in the US, #11 in Australia, #12 in Canada and New Zealand, and #14 in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Over the years it’s become a firm Fleetwood Mac fan favourite…

On this day in 1974, the Suzi Quatro single “Devil Gate Drive” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #14 (February 3)
The song from the powerhouse Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman songwriting team went all the way to #1 in the UK, Australia, Ireland and Norway, #2 in Germany and Switzerland, and #5 in the Netherlands.
“Devil Gate Drive” featured on her album “Quatro”, and was her second (and final) solo #1 single in the UK (after 1973’s “Can the Can”), spending two weeks at the top of the chart.
A real trailblazer for women in rock, Suzi Q was the first female bass player to make it big, and this one was one of her classics…

This was not designed to be fair. It was designed to be exacting.
At Chichén Itzá in the Yucatán Peninsula, Maya builders installed massive stone rings high on the walls of the Great Ballcourt around 600 AD, transforming sport into ordeal.
The ring’s height and narrow opening made scoring extraordinarily rare. Players could not use hands or feet. Only hips, thighs, or shoulders were allowed to strike a dense rubber ball weighing several kilograms. The difficulty was intentional. The game mirrored cosmic struggle, movement, balance, and the maintenance of order through effort.
Carvings and texts link the ballgame to ritual, sacrifice, and elite status. One successful pass through the ring could end the match immediately, collapsing hours of play into a single decisive act. That imbalance was the point.
The ring was not just a target. It was a filter, separating routine motion from a moment considered worthy of memory.
