Mushroom Galette

Mushrooms, red wine, fresh oregano, cheddar cheese, pastry crust, what could be better?

The guts, pre-assembly.

Can't figure out why this one is sideways, I'll fix it and re-upload.

The galette, assembled and waiting for the oven to finish heating.

Inspired by the SmittenKitchen, I love her.

Guacamole & Empanadas

The spread, three kinds of guacamole, and two types of empanada (the third type of empanada was still in the oven when this photo was taken).

That's Sandy's arm, she couldn't wait.

Ham and cheese empanadas.

Black bean empanadas.

I didn't get a good shot of the chicken and green olive empanadas, they looked pretty much the same as the black bean ones, only they didn't all explode while baking. They're actually the empanadas on the blue plate in the top picture.

And, of course, the guacamole. We had a sort of cook-off, even though you don't cook guacamole. The guacamole cook-off inspired the empanadas.

There was knitting too, I just didn't take any pictures of it.
