But not together, lol. Peanut butter and peppermint...

Never say never. MrsT came home from Disney with a bottle of peppermint stout…

avocado quiche served with salad.

That’s spectacular!

Yes! We have no almond bark either...

Get thee some cream cheese!

Now, if you tell me you can’t get cream cheese, I’m really going to question why people are even staying down there.

I'm in the process of making curry, using my Sri Lankan curry powder.
I'll find out later if it needs more, or more heat..
It smells good (not tasting yet as the chicken is still raw)

Yes, we do have cream cheese. Even Kraft philadelphia. I'll try with that.

I added extra to it based on your observation and by tasting it before cooking. There's been garlic, ½ onion and a green chilli pepper in there to add life to it which worked really well, along with 2 leaves of kale which added a bit of a peppery taste and 1 tsp tamari which helped a lot but gave that slightly brown look.

I did find the pastry disappointing, but I think a lot of the issues I had were based on no weights for the avocado. My small avocado flesh came in just shy of 190g to 200g of plain flour. Needless to say, no water was required. I think it needed self raising flour and probably baking covered for 10 minutes and then blind for 10 minutes. It has that uncooked feel to it where it meets the filling.

I also couldn't pour the filling out, but had to spoon it and flatten it with a spatula. It was solid, thicker than double cream whipped and that was despite adding ½ large onion to the mixture to thin the egg and avocado mixture. Needs a little work yet I think was the summary!

Thanks for the feedback. I reckon you improved on the filling.

Yeah, $10/serving of a delicious Chicken Pot Pie (they also have Turkey and Beef) - I spend well over $10/pound for sliced deli meats. I shared y'alls comments with DH and he sorta agreed with everyone, just go buy it!

chicken pot pie I make using chicken left-overs -
stewed / baked / roasted / whatever - with just two pipples, there is no chicken small enough to avoid left-overs . . .
well, cornish hens maybe....

Dinner today was pan seared mahi mahi, brussel sprouts cooked with bacon and buttered long grain rice. Sorry, I didn't photograph it. I was too busy eating it.

Mini Chicken Pot Pie. Very excited about my first recipe challenge entry in a while!

Not pretty, just good, so no pics.

Thank you.

Reading another post, caper brine might have worked better than tamari... as could the addition of capers maybe?

I've been craving meatballs lately, so I made some and a marinara sauce. I took some ciabatta lightly toasted it so it would have some texture so I could rub a raw clove of garlic on it get a touch of raw garlic flavor. Cut the meatballs in half and topped them with sauce with mozzarella and provolone and topped with manchego then stuck it in the oven for a few.

Last night’s dinner at a lovely bbq restaurant - mac and cheese topped with Nashville hot chicken, ranch, pickles, and dill.

Oh man, is that fresh dill? That looks delicious.
