EmPiNaDas

This New Years Eve, as we often do, we spent the evening with Dario & Fam. making Empinada's and eating wonderful Argentine food.

James had been talking about it for the 2 days prior to the event. He was so excited to go to "Big Dario's house" and "see Roman and Gabby." And, he had a great time!

He even helped Dario roll out some Empi dough and then helped Dad stuff them. In all, there were over 150 empinada's! And they were so good!!




We could only stay until around 9. Isabel is super picky about going to sleep in strange places. (I think she really just missed Dolphi and Tinafey.) But it worked out great. We saw our friends, stuffed our faces, and had a great time ringing in the new year (even if 3 out of the 4 of us were fast asleep by midnight!)

That sounds like a fun tradition. I hope you got a picture of a completed empanada! I'd love to see it if you did. Fun!
