New Year's Eve Fiesta

Beef Empanadas

Last year's New Year's Eve party at Capitale (www.capitaleny.com) was overrated and tres-expensive. So this year were off to NJ where my Aunt's preparing another Filipino feast, and were bracing for a whole night of drinking and video karaoke. Were going with an empty stomach because like any typical Filipino gathering, there'll be enough food to last for days! All my cousins, Aunts, Uncles, kids, family friends (some I haven't seen in more than a year) are expected so its gonna be a reunion of sorts. A riot - which always happens when you're celebrating, anyway. For our share, were bringing some wine and I baked 3 pans of Rocky Road Brownies and 3 dozens beef empanadas. I guess that should be enough for appetizers =).

Sinfully delicious!!!
