Recipes 5 & 6 ... & a hilarious tidbit from Savanna

 So PW's pot pie is amazing. It is the basic recipe (I understand this to be true from my limited understanding and experience with potpie, seeing as how I am a "yankee" to quote my husband.)

Chicken, onion, celery, carrots, peas....in broth, with the glorious spice THYME. I never knew that I could love THYME. It tastes like Thanksgiving and leaves Charles and I with eyes rolling back in our heads dreaming of Turkey and stuffing...that is a good thing.  I actually never even LIKED pot pie...how uninformed I was of its amazing yumminess!!!
The pie crust is truly "perfect." Flaky, yummy and relatively easy, considering this is only the, say 3rd, pie crust I've ever made in my life. And you can freeze them! YAY ... so now I have a whole extra pie crust just waiting in my freezer...dreaming of its day with pot pie. Already looking forward to that, and we have lots of leftovers :)

Just wanted to show you my GORGEOUS cast iron skillet....

Oh, and b/c we loved the crust so much, we actually put one on top AND bottom of the pie...it only calls for a top crust. But oh, the increased yumminess....

baking in the oven.....

my pie dish isn't big enough so this was the overflow. Anyone want a sample??? 

It was a HUGE hit, all the way around....and we only ate 1/2 the pie! Hooray for not having to cook dinner one night this week! ;) 

So other than the fact that next time I'm just going to cook the whole thing in my cast iron skillet, I would change absolutely nothing. It is amazing :)

Tidbit from Savvy:

Savvy: Dad, you are lucky you have FUR.
Dad: HUH? I have fur? Why am I lucky?
Savvy: It helps keep you warm.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Then 5 minutes later I heard her telling Wyatt, "Wyatt, you are lucky. You have fur."

He he out of the mouths of babes. :)
