I have decided that I am going to make empanadas at some point in the near future. I see them on TV looking so fine with their GBD appearance and after trying Tony's, I think I want to see what the process will be like. I plan to look through plenty of recipes and hope to find one that uses curry - or to get enough idea of software to make my own savory filling. Why curry? I bought some curry from The Spice House [ www.thespicehouse.com ] and I want to use it. It makes me smile to have good quality spices to use. I'll post pictures when I am done. No chance of having a taste test, so I'll have to guess.
I have read that Argentinian empanadas are filled with many things but that in several regions, goat meat is popular. I'd probably have to look around for goat meat here in the greater Baltimore/DC region. I'll likely stick with pork for now. Goats later.
The only problem I see with trying things like this is when it calls for unusual ingredients. I hate wasting food (look at the size of me...go fig, right?) so it is preferable to buy stuff I will use. What do you do with unused software that is only required for special situations? I need to find a store that sells in small quantities.
Speaking of finding...I am on the hunt for a fish monger. I need (want) catfish.
Salad tonight. I had leftover spaghetti at lunch and have been pretty full ever since. Need to have something to keep me from snacking but that isn't heavy.
