does anyone have thoughts about if they would be freezable? I'm sure the filling would be fine, and the dough should be too, right?
I would think so. I think the only issue with freezing the dough might be losing some rise, and that doesn't seem like a big deal with empanadas even if it happens, which it might not.
Do you know of there's much of a farmers market/CSA scene there? A good library system? Any decent cross-country ski trails out in the county?
Farmers market, yes. Not sure about CSAs. I think there are some, but your options may be limited. Library system is pretty good.
I'm not a cross-country ski person, but I think there's the Kal-Haven Trail, the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail, and there are probably trails at the Nature Center.

Yeah, that's basically what I'm thinking. You use half a biscuit and roll it out anyway, so I'm sure there's not much rising anyway. Good one!
Oh my god, people, not buying a house is exhausting. We decided not to get in a bidding war. The house had good bones but so many things need to be done that it just added up to too much.
Seems like a good call. I hope you guys can find something that suits you that isn't quite so in demand!
Today I've spent hours with my friend and her seven year old daughter, and now I'm messaging with my other friend's sixteen year old daughter. The younger girl was both easier to understand and easier to hang out with. Teen years are hard; I don't know anything about most of the stuff she likes (Black Veil Brides?) so we have little in common. Luckily "talking" mostly involves listening and making appropriate noises. At least with the little girl, we both like dinosaurs, funny faces, and songs about farts.
You're a good friend, Zen.
And I just remembered where the pot roast notion actually came from -- the week-old half bottle of red wine on my counter.
Flea you made the right call, I think. More houses are coming on the market next month.

We've ridden bikes on the Kal-Haven Trail! I bet it would be good for cross-country skiing.
I got my hair cut and came home and my tummy wasn't feeling well so I sent Bob out to have dinner on his own. I had an english muffin with peanut butter. Now I'm hungry for real! I want pot roast and buffalo chicken dip and empanadas. None of those things are here.
