Finished the meat part of the empanadillas for the ex, only to realize I'd forgotten to purchase the Spanish olives (pitted, stuffed with pimento). Those were picked up this evening on my way home from cat-sitting, and the dough for the crust part of the Puerto Rican meat hand pies will be made tomorrow. Assembling them involves rolling out golf ball size pieces of dough, spooning some of the meat on half, adding a couple of the olives and some extra pimento, then wetting the edge, sealing with a fork, and placing in shallow oil to fry. I was tired enough after all of the work to produce about a quart of the meat filling today that we're ok with leaving the rest till tomorrow. He'll come back for them or I'll drive them over to his house.

I'm still picking up around here, and more of the same tomorrow.
