Hmm. But why are you telling us so much about yourself when we are not asking for it ?

Someone else was doing the same thing, had a blog and all, cant remember the name, EO will be able to help here.

there are lots of clues in your name , double G's

Double Gs. I like it, you old charmer.

Reminds me of that old Hitchcock film where Carey Grant calls Joan Fontaine "Monkey Face". Mind you, he turned out to be a psycho.

Are you a psycho too?

Early bath for me due to minor project delays at ClientCo - home already with the shopping, and tomorrow off too. It may be costing me, but I still feel like a kid who's been let off school early!

I did a really nice turkey and ham pie for New Years Eve. Because it was supposed to feed a lot of people I wanted it to have a lot of filling - which basically meant it needed to have high sides.

The problem here is that normal shoe crust pastry would collapse so I thought I could blind bake it first or make a thick hot water pastry such as one finds in hand raised pies (which are generally served cold).

I actually went for the hot water pastry with a homemade flakey pastry topping. The flakey pastry turned out well, not so convinced with the hot water pastry.

Think I'd blind bake some short crust next time before adding the filling.

Is that the girly version of choux pastry? Women and shoes eh?

I find that a good workout/run amps up the neurotransmitters and dissolves the melancholy that January brings.

I'm not sure I want to know but... what kind of experiments can one do with a chicken and mushroom pie?
