Preparing the ingredients for some delicious spinach empanadas for our trip! πŸ₯ŸπŸ₯¬πŸ˜‹
And now, the second part of the spinach empanada preparation. This is what I call the fun arts-and-crafts portion.  πŸ₯Ÿ
All ready to bake the empanadas in the oven!  πŸ₯Ÿ
Perfection!  πŸ₯Ÿ
@claudiom that how you keep the argentinian flame alive deep inside. From B.A. i approve those empanadas!!!
@arielbnz Thanks a bunch! πŸ‡¦πŸ‡·πŸ₯Ÿ 
@claudiom ooo, you get fancy with the edges
@nobody Thank ya! Yeah, it took me some practice to get at least this decent. β€‹

@claudiom what's in with the spinach? Is that a cheese or chicken?

Lovely work on the sealing, too.

@gumnos It's hard boiled egg and feta cheese. I also added diced onions and crushed garlic. And thanks on my sealing work! It's improved, but could be better. 

@claudiom

Hah, given that the most recent time I made them, my sealing work looked like it was done by a drunk kindergartner, I can certainly recognize bad work when it happens, and yours wasn't it πŸ˜†

@gumnos LMAO! β€‹ My first time was like that. I used to use a fork to seal them previously, but decided to make the effort to do it right. And as is customary (and having learned), it's 13 twists. Some Argentine tradition where, according to the Googs, it symbolizes Jesus and the 12 apostles. β€‹β€‹
@claudiom It's an awful lot of work for something I plan to shove in my face πŸ˜†
@gumnos That's what makes it taste so good! πŸ€ͺπŸ˜‚
@claudiom how well does the egg thing work? More reliable than boiling?
@mmarcott It actually works quite well! My wife bought it off of Amazon. Really, it's boiling the eggs. Depends on how much water you add. The less water, the softer-boiled the egg is.
@claudiom great! Thinking about getting one. I bought a rice cooker for my wife 20 years ago and she got angry with me. I sold it to a guy i worked with. Everyday he told me it made the best rice he ever tasted. Everyday i scrubbed burnt rice off our stove. Until about 5 years ago i bought another one for β€œmyself”. Now she tells me it’s a godsend and I don’t scrub burnt rice anymore!
@mmarcott LOL! Yeah, this one is really nice. I'd never seen anything like this contraption until she and I got together. It's a great little device!
