Every once in a while we walk down to the local park and enjoy some empanadas for supper. An empanada is a wonderful deep fried treat. My friend Sara took this picture when she came to visit. On the left you can see an empanada. On the right is a quipe. Empanadas can be filled with cheese, chicken, or pizza filling. Our favorite is pizza. A quipe is also deep fried. It's made from whole wheat, cheese, and ground meat.

This is our local empanada man, Francisco. He cooks the empanadas while he talks to Brian. He's a Christian and loves to talk about his church, mission work, and things that he's learning. We sit on white plastic chairs near his stand to enjoy our delicious supper. Yumm!
