So I finally got around to using up a package of empanada wrappers that were sitting in my freezer for a disturbingly long time. They were edible! Though I think I could've chosen a better filling. I'd originally bought them because I had seen it suggested somewhere to use them to make samosas, but hadn't gotten around to it until the freezer cleanout. I mashed potato and onion with peas with curry or garam masala (4 of each -- the latter of which I never use, so really need to use up the spice jar) and baked them. Not great but not terrible; I definitely mashed the potato way too much. And it's a bit off-putting to bite into something that looks like a Cornish pasty and not taste beef and turnip. Which is what I'm going to fill them with if I ever make them again, though I'm not sure that I will because the empanada wrappers came with a lot of plastic (a sheet of it between each wrapper), and I'm not much of a dough maker.

Now I need to find a new Indian place that will deliver to my house :/ There used to be a place in town that delivered, but they moved a few years back.
