I love chicken pot pie. In fact, during one particularly stressful month last summer I ate chicken pot pie and half a pint of Ben and Jerry's for dinner ~5 nights a week. Not a great weight loss technique, but smothering the stress under yummy fat and carbs was really effective.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Totally watching the Leary Xmas thing.(Maybe I'll feel festive by comparison.) Would still date Vince or Jon, but they *are* looking rough these days. Ruby should be OK, Allyson.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Frequently, and today was no exception, I am fooled by chicken pot pie. I think it will be just like regular pie, because the crust is oh-so- delicious looking. And I am rather disappointed by actually eating a gooey mass of overheated peas and repurposed chicken and can't finish it.

shrift, I think your doctor can just do away with bloodwork. He can diagnose your high blood pressure simply by spending a day on the job with you.
Pretty much, yeah.
They've got me for three more hours, and then I am gone until Monday, and there's nothing they can do about it! Mwahahaha!

I never liked chicken pot pie - 'til I made one myself -- way better than anything I ever bought. and one year at my BIL's house in VT - shortly after tday dinner, we made turkey pot pie.mmm..... and then the sweet potatos became pie...mmm. It was fun teaching men how to kitchen cabinet cook.

I think this is it for me, too. They could and should be good, but in reality, they aren't.

I've had a good one once...I think at someone's house. But you are right, bon, they are never as good as I think they will be.
