Curry Puffs on Wednesday

Curry Puffs

I woke up relatively early for me, at 8:30 a.m., today, but, then, went back to sleep!  So much so for waking up early!  LOL!

After waking up for a second time, I had my cup of tea, replied to blog comments, and put away the laundry I didn't put away, yesterday.  After that, I called for a donations pick up, which is scheduled for next week, Wednesday.  I will leave the bags out, by the front door, and they will pick up and leave me a receipt.

For lunch, today, I had a salad with some of the salmon I cooked, yesterday.

Then, I vacuumed the house.  Note to self: vacuum in the morning, when it is not so hot! This week, I am making sticking to the cleaning schedule a priority!   Afterwards, I read and watched news while I rested.

Later in the evening, after a cup of tea, I decided to make curry puffs.  I took the ground beef I had browned, previously, and added some grated carrots and zucchini to it:

Then, it was a matter of putting a spoonful of the ground beef mixture on a square of puff pastry (I used frozen puff pastry, thawed):

Wetting the edges of the puff pastry with some water to dampen it, folding the puff pastry over to form a triangle, which was then, sealed by pressing the tines of a fork against the edges:

I set them out on a foil-lined baking sheet and brushed them with some milk before baking them:

Ready for the Oven

I baked them for about 15 minutes at 350F.

I made 20 curry puffs.  I ate two of the curry puffs, while they were still warm from the oven, for my dinner.  I froze 10 for my daughter to take back, with her.  The rest, I kept in the fridge for us to have during the next couple of days.

Today, I am grateful for:
- Being able to sleep in
- What I was able to accomplish today
- Blog readers who leave comments
- Electric fans and the electricity to run the fans!
- Books to read
