Empanadas

Jamie says: Here is the first stab at homemade empanadas. I say "homemade" although the pastry is store-bought. I know, cheating. 

The filing is beef with onion, garlic, and red pepper. , with some with spicy salsa for the adults. I'm hoping tonight's dinner will kick off an empanada rivalry between me and Jonathan–where we each make more and more delicious empanadas trying to outdo each other. These were pretty darn good though. 

JG: Scrumptious! It is unlike me to resist a cooking challenge but in this arena I don't believe I can compete, though my empanadas de carne would have olive and hard boiled egg.

Here are the girls relaxing after dinner. The park they're looking out over is Plaza Alemania.
