I love food. I can't help it. I chastise myself over it. I succumb to it too because I am weak. But my two lads come up with new recipes on a weekend from books or on-line which has been a really interesting experiment over the last few months and we have had some great meals.
So, we try new things and this... is a home made steak and mushroom pie.
My goodness, this is the food of angels (mind you if it was, they'd all be twenty stone and unable to fly!) This was a stunning and tasty meal, as stunning as pie can get, made more so because we rarely have it.
I'm not going to give you the recipe on here, it's boring, but if you would like it - I'll send you it. There's no secrets for all those cooks among you, all bog standard stuff (except the puff pastry was bought in). I'm looking forward to the weekend and a few days off beyond. It's busy right now at work but then you'd expect me to say that working in the public sector. But there is grass to cut, garage to sort out, my priorities are to keep her indoors happy of course.
I'm taking bets on the biggest spider we find in the garage. Interestingly for the first time in many years, we haven't had a mouse in the garage.
Last day at work tomorrow... whopppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (I must add that to the spell checker.)
Chat soon

That's a yummy looking pie! If you're looking for some interesting recipes and foody hints you can check out my alter ego at Auntie Anne. We had chicken and ham pie tonight. That was good too!
ReplyDeleteOoh that looks wonderful and now I'm starving ;)
ReplyDeleteHey Morning AJ

Hi Val

I'm on a diet. Your doing this on purpose. I'm flappin' my wings like crazy and I can only reach the settee. Chuckle!
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Ahum. When I click on your picture on Friends connect, there's no option to click straight to your blog. Is it my end or yours?
Hi Wheelie
ReplyDeleteSorry about that - it's not nice when people start on about food when you're on a diet - been there, done that!
I've gone through my entire settings and profile and have ticked everything that can be ticked. Interestingly, the profile picture that appears on your 'follow' bit hasn't been my pic for about two years. I wonder if it's worth updating 'followers' in your settings?

Fray Bentos eat your heart out! You've certainly trained those lads well. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteThanks - Fray Bentos - that brings back some memories, flat round tins with a pie inside... Corned beef too if I remember.

Oh Rare, I feel your pain. I too love food and since we started selling our pork to Chicago restaurants and been able to taste the chefs creations there...oh my oh my. The things they can do to BROCCOLI ! Life is very short. Very. Short. Eat well and move more. I'm going to do that as soon as I tear my bottom away from this computer.

ReplyDeleteYou have it in one - 'Eat well and move more' - brilliant advice! Pork is a favourite too - you can do so much with it. It must be a very satisfying feeling tasting the result of your labour?
