Empanadas are crescent-shaped, meat-filled baked pastries that are a staple in Chilean cuisine and are served regularly in the Marconi household. When in the United States, Celeste invites her American friends, Charlie, Meg, and Valerie over to eat a dinner of empanadas. The empanadas are a hit, and the meal serves as yet another step forward for friendship.
