I’ve had fun playing with my new Nokia Lumia Icon these past couple of weeks. I’ve been using it for inspiration from newly discovered restaurants by our new home in Los Angeles. The video taken above was from lunch with my little sister and DF at an Argentine restaurant, El Morfi Grill.
I’ve never had an empanada until I met my DF. There are two kinds– ones that are baked and ones that are fried. My DF’s grandma makes the best empanadas. Hers, however, require a lot of love and time. They’re also smaller and crispier than those pictured above. Empanadas that you usually find are larger and softer than Grandma’s. To save on time, I attempted to make the larger, puffier empanadas. Here’s how it went down:
Please forgive my lack of video taking capabilities. I’m such a newbie. In the future, I’ll know to always take videos horizontally, not vertically. It’s also really hard to take videos with one hand and work with the other.
Pre-baking:
And all baked!
Hate to be such a tease, but the recipe will be up on the next post! I promise! Meanwhile, you can check out all that the Lumia Icon has to offer here. You can even get a special offer on it through that link! The camera has 20 MP and the video has 1080p HD, perfect for all those food pictures. All of the photos and videos above were taken on the Lumia Icon.
I’m actually loving the phone the most as a navigation tool. The wide, clear screen trumps my GPS by far. I don’t even use mine anymore. It’s also great for listening to Pandora while baking and cooking. Let’s just say it’s become a valued tool in my house already.
