Hello Vicki,
I cannot locate the Border Cafe recipe, but I found one vegetarian recipe for black
bean and corn empanadas here: South American Food at About.com.
I was also able to find the recipe below for black bean & corn "mini empanadas",
but the recipe uses canned biscuits, so it is notauthentic. There are a lot of empanada recipes here:
empanadas
.
Phaed
Mini Bean Empanadas
1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 11oz can Mixicorn drained
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons drained can diced green chilies
2 chopped scallions
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon + 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
3 packets refrigerated flaky biscuits
1 egg yolk
Preheat oven to 400F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
In bowl mash 1/2 cup beans. Stir in remaining beans, corn,
cheese, chillies, scallions, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and
1/4 teaspoon cumin.
On lightly flowered surface, roll out each biscuit to make a
4" circle. Place 1 tablespoon bean mixture on half of each
biscuit. Using pastry brush, brush outside edge of each biscuit
with cold water. Fold empanadas in half. press dough together to
seal edges. Put in freezer for 15 minutes.
Lightly beat egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water. Brush empanadas with
yolk mixture, sprinkle with remaining chili powder and cumin.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Subject: Mock Chicken Legs?
Grandma McFarlane made a delicious item called mock chicken legs.
As far as I can remember she used chunks of beef and pork skewered
on small wooden skewers and the meat was coated in a fry mix and
fried or roasted. The end result was a very tender and delicious
meat on a stick.
PS: Your Red Beet Pickled Egg link is bad. Can't find the recipe...
Thanks,
Brad

I cannot find any recipes for PIMS sweets. I did find the recipe below for jaffa cakes, which I'm told are similar.

orange mix to the flour along with the milk and baking soda, mix

How do you add an icon to your desk top? ie, I would like to put
Goggle search icon on my desk top, so if I wanted to go directly
to goggle I could click on the icon on the desk top.
Thanks Chuck
Hello Chuck,
Nothing to it. Just go to the webpage of your choice (Google) and right click your mouse in the center of the screen.
Click on "create shortcut" on the menu that appears. A shortcut icon for Google will be created on your desktop.
