Two Bite Meat Pies
Dirty Rice
Fried Eggplant
I'm not really talented in the baking department, especially when it comes to doughs, but the two bite meat pies looked so fun to make that I couldn't resist just trying once to make them. By some kind of miracle the things actually turned out. Some didn't stay sealed, but oh my, they were tasty! The dirty rice looks really awful (especially in my picture), but wow it is so good!
I tried putting the eggplants in a batter that I had lying around, but they tasted pretty awful, They tasted like fried flour, you just couldn't get past the batter to enjoy the eggplant, oh well....
And there you have it, Sunday supper at the Giovannoni's.
