I have spent the entire day hiding under my bed covers afraid to face the sunlight. I am sick.

My feeling sick is honestly a mix of illness and a hangover from last night. I went to bed at 4:30AM after drinking a lot of wine, it is my fault. Tea is the only thing getting me through the day :/
Yesterday I was chipper, running around making
empanadas for Sabrina's birthday. It was my first time making empanadas, so it was fun work! I did not have the same skills as Sabrina when sealing the pastries shut, but the tasted delicious all the same.

I had two couchsurfers staying over as well, which were a great help to the production line. It was interesting comparing everyone's empanada sealing technique, however. Howard was a couchsurfer from Taiwan, so his empanadas looked like dumplings.

The empanadas I pinched shut looked suspiciously like raviolis. Pilar was the other couchsurfer, originally from Argentina like Sabrina, so they were expert chefs! We made beef, tuna, and corn empanadas, so delicious!
I love food because it brings people together and reveals so much about our individual cultures. What better way to share a Saturday than some collective cooking?
Sabrina's birthday was a good way to end a nice two-week vacation. I am ready to return to work, but I will miss the lazy mornings and late nights. Here is a great picture of my housemates and I from last night. Joyeux Anniversaire! Feliz Cumpleaños! Happy Birthday!
