Dirty Rice, Meat Pies and Fried Eggplant

I'm sorry folks I just don't have anything new or exciting to blog about, so you're stuck with me rambling on and on about our Sunday supper. Every once in a while I actually break out of my boring mold and try something new and hopefully tasty for dinner.

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.

You are so good to even try new things...I have trouble with that. But 2 of my favorite new recipes are ones you made for me when we have done dinner together! :)

Your meat pies look awesome!! I need the recipe for your dirty rice. We are always looking for a new way to eat rice.

The two-bite meat pies look like something Mike and I tried when we were in England: Cornish Pasties. They are basically a hand-held pot pie, and sooooo tasty! My favorite was the cheese and onion, but they came in all kinds of different flavors (and were a little bigger than the mini's). You didn't even realize you were cooking European treats! LOL. Kudos to you for branching out and trying something new in the kitchen!
