oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

most commercial chicken pot pies have way too much bad gravy.

I usually cook up someonions - any any veggie that needs precooking - like carrots and cook them up in a pan. if I am starting with ground meat that hasn't been cooked - I then cook that. Then I make your basic pan gravy - ( butter , flour rue cooked for a least a minute per tablespoon of flour) and I use stock and wine to make the gravy. maybe a little milk or cream if I think I want the richness - but wine is actually a big deal. and then I mix the meat , cooked veggies, frozen peas and onions, and frozen chopped spinach( defrosted and drained is good). then toss in enough of the gravy to moisten and flavor, but no drowning...

all along the way I added spicing to every layer.( onoins, meat, gravy)

chicken and turkey - salt, pepeer, thyme, tarragon

beef - salt, pepper, thyme , curry ( very light )

Pour into a shallow pan - like a pie plate

top with biscut dough ( if you make your own you can flavor the biscut dough with things like the thyme or tarragon)

of course - you can always top with mashed potatos too. Just make sure everything is warmed up before you put the potatos on - ause they don't need to cook - just get warmed up.

comfort food. warms up really well in the microwave.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Don't you quote Eddie Izzard! He sucks and IS NOT FUNNY.

Big girly man.

PFFT. Like you know anything, Ms. I actually think Denis Leary is funny!

Also, EAT IT.

Additionally, YOU SUCK.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Denis Leary is the funniest stand up to ever come down the pike.

Like English people think anything is funny. No they don't - they just rag on Americans.

YOU DO NOT LIME!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And now is the time on Sprockets when we laugh uproariously at the people submitting last-minute emergency requests, who then send me additional e-mails requesting that I notify other people when the work is done, because they're leaving the office early.

You should invoice them for the BP meds.

(I actually have to go do something for a bit, but that will give me time to come up with all the ways in which Aimee is wronger than a very wrong thing.)

(Good luck to you - people have been trying for YEARS to figure out how wrong I am and yet, they haven't. They just figure it's all the pretty that throws them off. pllbbt)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I also love Pot Pie. And now I want some, but my pot pie emporium is gone.

No wait! The fancy butcher shop in the Ferry Building does them. Off to pot pie.

Only because YOU wanted them while YOU were giving birth and then KEPT them, just like the big old Keeper of Things you always are!
