shifted over to photo-blogging for a sec

Sometimes I'm in the mood to show y'all stuff instead of telling y'all stuff, and sometimes pictures are worth at least a paragraph or two.

See the empanadas I just destroyed, the fetish-y shoes I found at Ross, and exactly how fat/thin I am now.

Know that I'm reading all your comments and agreeing with them/ being educated with them/ appreciating them/ loving them. I just haven't had time to comment back lately.

(It's one thing when you have a job that you learn to do very well in the first year, and your boss refuses to promote you because you're just a silly girl and not a good old boy in a suit, and so you spend 4 years working for 2 hours per day and then goofing off online for the other 6 hours, every week day of your life. However, it's a whole other thing when you have a demanding job with a boss who respects you and people who appreciate your abilities. On the one hand, I no longer have as much time to respond to each of your comments. On the other hand, I no longer feel like calling in sick every other day for no reason at all. :) )

So is an empanada like a perogie? They sure look the same. Are empanadas filled with potatoes and cheese like a perogie (or pierogi or pyrogie. Whichever spelling you prefer)?
Mmmm....perogies

I don't know. I don't think so, because aren't pierogies pan-fried and soft?

The empanadas we eat here are filled with sweet potato, pumpkin, pineapple, and, less frequently, apple or cream cheese or cajeta or pecan stuff. And sometimes people put meat and potatoes in them, too. I think they're like English pasties or turnovers.
