What's for Dinner? - Page 173

Made pasties tonight- including making the pie crust. Haven't done that in a long time. May try again tomorrow night. They could be better. (got lots of pie crust already mixed and chilling in the frig)

ABG: Sriracha. Making pasties better.

Ha!

Husband doesn't do spicy. (and sriracha on what is basically a meat pie? seems odd)

Second attempt tonight- pot pies- the gravy I'd made the first time was... not so good. Bought a jar of gravy this time, and I have the little dishes to bake them in.

Learned that when pie crust sits in the fridge, it gets hard as a rock. But if I "knead" it a few times, it loosens up and can roll out a little better. I learned to do that by working with clay- same deal; it's stiff, you work it a little and it loosens up. When we were learning, the teacher said to wedge the clay like you were kneading bread. Well, I've never kneaded bread, but I got the clay thing.

So now I wonder if I would have success making bread.

Oh how I wish I had Photoshop right now…

In case your still not seeing it, note the missing "r" in the highlighted word.

I believe that's not a missing R - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasty

Pasties- meat pies. A staple, growing up, but something I never made. And which apparently take some practice.

Will try again using beef. Used chicken this time, and they were dry. Pot pies with gravy worked much better.

Thanks for the article! Apparently my Finnish relatives learned about pasties from the Cornish miners. My grandpa used to take them when he worked in the mines in Minnesota.

I still maintain there's a missing 'r' - facts be damned

ABG: Not really pies - there's no top and bottom crust, just a folded circle. It's closer to a Calzone than a pie, really. The only REAL pie is, of course, the Australian Meat Pie.

...and Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pies, of course.....

PS: Just to stay on topic, tomorrow night is indulgence night, and in true spirit of preparation for our upcoming USA trip, I'm making Fried Chicken with Biscuits and Country Gravy.
