(There Was A) New Link On This Page

We've been working on re-creating the recipes of treats Dad made for us over the years and stumbled across a fellow Blogger with a neat Indonesian Food & Recipe site. Just click on the link on the left border of the main page to see all the neat stuff we found...

We plan on making the little meat pies Dad made when we were younger that us kids called, "Crab Shells". Something like an empanada, they were half-moons pockets of pie crust dough filled with stir-fried, spiced hamburger meat. After the filling was tucked inside, he would crimp the round edge with a fork and it looked something like a blue crab shell, which is how it got its name. After we have a go at it this weekend, we'll let you know how it came out!

[Added 11/17/07] We finally made some up, and yes, they do look quite a bit like Cuban 'empandas', but we were making these things way before the Cubans had started moving into the Miami area...
