A Bite of Heaven!

Sergio and Kira made empanda's for dinner...OH MY GOSH...

Heaven in your mouth!Ro is an amazing cook...and quickly jumped in wanting to learn how to make them...not having any problem getting the hang of it.

I on the other hand...can NOT fold the masa correctly...So, I do not get to help...YET

Naming A BLOG!

Josh and Ali just started a blog called burgessfamily09.blogspot

and Kira said that she would like to start one too...but she can not think of a good name for it...

I suggested ¨Gringanada¨

because she will be a Gringo in Empanda Land... any other suggestions??

I Have Missed You!!!

Yes...I have been a bit busy this past week with this...and this...

(Kira making snow angels)

on Pomerelle

and I was able to learning to make these...

and having lots of this...

this group was all in the Argentina Salta Mission at the same time!

we even had Hermanas come for the weekend! By the way, I can totally understand why Kira thought so much of these young ladies, Mary Lou and Ashley...they are amazing!

AND THIS happen this morning...

Yep, Itsey had puppies...one didn't make it (no pictures of it)

but this little guy!!! He is doing GREAT!

Gringa Empanadas

Kira sent a picture of her making Empanadas, and well to be honest I though,

"If she can do that I know I can too".They look pretty good don't they. Not bad for a little American girl in Argentina.So, I started by browning my hamburger ( don't know what she put in hers) along with green chilies.pulled out the Rhodes Rolls and cheese Next I pulled the dough balls in half and rolled each one flat..filling them was the cheese and meat mixture, doing this one at a time.Baked 20 mins at 350* and there you have it.

Gringa Empanadas!

As you can see I need to work at sealing the tops tighter, but they were REALLY GOOD.

I can't wait for Kira to come show me how she made hers.
