The cubing was rather unecessary because you just end up smushing the cubes into a paste for the filling, but I just can't help myself.<BR/>The empanadas turned out rather ugly so I need to make them again before I post the recipe. Soon.<BR/><BR/>toni~<BR/>I haven't tried cubing, play-doh, but I have tried shaping cubes with the crustless part of Wonderbread, which brings back another junior high memory of me and my best friend making Wonderbread cubes inside an ALF tent.Eriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726251005191340903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27652180.post-1158894002948288342006-09-21T20:00:00.000-07:002006-09-21T20:00:00.000-07:00Did you ever try shaping cubes with play-doh?

I love your writing - but what did you make out of that blockato, looks like the beginning of Cubist Patates Bravas...<BR/><BR/>That reminds me, I need to order some of these Perfect Square Ice Cube trays.

Keep up the good work. <BR/><BR/>This entry struck home because my 5 year old son appears to be a cubist. He has a definite affinity for all things square shaped. Anyway, have you heard of the board game Blokus? We love it around here and it is all about shapes and the absence of shapes - I bet you would be a Blokus superstar!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27652180.post-1158692577206740672006-09-19T12:02:00.000-07:002006-09-19T12:02:00.000-07:00Erielle, embrace your nerdiness!

And nothing is more satisfying than turning an onion or a cucumber into perfectly even, tiny cubes.
