What are you having for dinner? (wanna share your recipe?)

One of the things that has gone the way of toilet paper during covid where I live is chopped green chilies. Weird what we run out of.

Nursenurse!!! I joined this forum in 2013 and thanks to your support and wonderful advice I left a toxic relationship with an Army man— with PTSD— he was mentally abusive. All is well and I hope you are safe !

@NikkiGAPEACH1970, so great to hear from you, I have wondered how you are doing! So glad that all is well. I still post upon occasion here, life is good so far. I remain “on my own” but I cook a lot, lol!

Ooohhh @Friday, I see another cook book in my future!

I’m making 2 hand raised meat pies for a family thing this weekend -everyone adult, by age at least- and I’ve got a question, now that I’ve telegraphed that punch. Cough.

Am I a teeeeerrible person for considering using the Mudflap Girl on the Apricot Chicken pie to differentiate the white meat side from the dark meat??? Instead of, you know, leaves or flowers or bees or whatever. Breasts on one side, thighs on the other. It MAKES SENSE. Not exactly the claaaaassiest thing, but at least I’ll know where to cut

Spoiler: Pastry cutout

@Friday, I want a picture of those pies! I would appreciated the humour for sure, it would be a breast of fresh air in these troubled times.

Pie pics coming a bit later tonight or tomorrow... I have the boring pie baking right now, sadly I only have 1 springform pan (baking isn’t really my thing)... BUT I ran across this recipe whilst checking flour ratios... and DROOL.

I WISH I COULD STILL EAT BRIE!!!

Chicken pithivier recipe

Nadiya's chicken, brie and cranberry pithivier is perfect for a cosy lunch. The molten middle and crisp pastry are hard to beat.

Okay... My first go at raised pies! They’re a bit rough.

The MudFlapGirl is Chicken, Bacon, Apricot
& The “What wil happen if I... Oh. A mess. Shrug.” is Pork & Apple

- Crust recipe from here
- Chicken from here ... except I did half breasts & half thighs. & for the jelly I added apricot jam & a splash of soy sauce to the chicken gelatin.
- Pork I just sort of winged it

I don't think I have seen mudflap girl with such a nice, golden tan. And with bacon? She looks delicious!
So, is that a mudflap girl cookie cutter you have?

Nah... I just drew her on paper & cut her out to make a stencil

If they HAVE a MudFlapGirl cookie cutter? That. Would. Be. Awesome. I’d get the Devilish one. I used to have Ninja cookie cutters I got from ThinkGeek.

Well, you did a fantastic job, then. She looks amazing.

I thought maybe it was a truck stop item, but then it would have to be an item for the mothers of truckers (trucker mothers), right? I don't know where they shop.
