Before I met her, my wife used to be a professional pastry chef, until she had an injury at work that caused her to change her career.

She trained here

when the school used to be in Paris.

I really hit the jackpot. She's cute, she's a fantastic cook, and she spoils me rotten.

Not to mention the fact that her connections as a former chef help us get fantastic service when we go out to eat.

Mike you lucky son of a gun! You did hit the jackpot.

On the one hand, the idea of a career-ending pastry incident sounds absurdly funny - but since it probably involves burns, cuts, or other bodily harm - not to mention that losing a career you trained for really sucks - I don't mean to make light of it. At least you luck out in the end - good for you.

I love lamb.

Try a Beaujolais Nouveaux with it. I like Georges Duboeuf (http://www.duboeuf.com) and Louis Jadot (http://www.louisjadot.com/).

One of my favorite delicasies is The Salteña, a Bolivian meat pie. It's filled with all chicken or meat and potatoes,peas, carrots....
The crust is semi-sweet and soft. YUM
Every time I bring 'em to a Barra tailgate, they disappear. Gone in sixty seconds.

Are you talking about Empanada Salteña? If you do... man are they good! I still remember when I used to live in Ecuador, there was a guy who would walk through the beach yelling "Empanada salteñaaaaa" and I would go "Mom! Mom! Get me one!."

Haven't eat one for years, but I can still remember the taste! Yummy!

I think the difference between the Bolivian Salteña and the Ecuadorian one, is that the Bolivian is probably a little spicier.

Oh! There is no Ecuadorian Salteña, it has always been Bolivian... just sold at the beach in Ecuador by a Bolivian.

You don't happen to have the recipe, do you?

My mom makes them. And I know it's a long drawn out process that takes her two days. It takes her most of the first day to make the filling and the second day to make the dough and hand wrap them. If you're ever in the DC area, there are plenty of Bolivian restaurants that sell them or stop by a Barra tailgate and I'll be happy to turn you on to a couple.

Personal note: Whenever you go to the US, go to DC.
