Trelawnyd seems a bit dead this morning
I'm running late today....everything is "arse over tit"
Firstly the Prof still wasn't 100% overnight , so kept us both awake.
Secondly I have just made gravy for a chicken and mushroom pie using fish stock
And thirdly I am working this evening, so will miss the first episode of The Walking Dead!
How can the world be so cruel?
Anyhow , the chicken pie has been finally made. The Prof will be returning home from work early and the satellite box thing will record the zombie apocalypse for me to watch tomorrow night, so barring a powercut things will be fine.........I have read the synopsis of the second half premier anyway, so I know who gets chomped/sliced/ shot ( delete as appropriate) .......my nerves couldn't take the suspenders!
Right like all good country house blogs I shall leave you with a photo of the aforementioned chicken and mushroom pie.....it's magnificent!
Have a good monday all..........
It looks like a magnificent pie ..... but will it taste a bit fishy ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am on count down till the walking dead today. *squeal*
ReplyDeleteYay .... first comment !!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you set a good scene, beautifully wriiten. It was bolognaise and walking dead in Melbourne tonight. I hope the Prof gets well soon.
ReplyDeletethe pie DOES look dee-lish! I hope it helps chris feel better!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a beauty, John. I have never mastered a two crust pie, but do OK with the topless kind.
ReplyDeleteThe pie looks scrumptsh! My dear departed Father-in-law always said Arse over Tit. So your post reminded me of him today. Hope Chris feels better soon. I've had a husband with a painful arm for 14 months. So I haven't had a decent night's sleep in about 400! xx
ReplyDelete'andsome pie John!
ReplyDeleteWhat I am certain of is that that marvellous looking (and tasty) pie will be sliced in pieces, to be shot into your mouth and to be all chomped up. Greetings Maria xx
ReplyDeleteLove the little pastry fishes!
ReplyDeleteLove the little pastry fishes!
ReplyDeleteThey're leaves!!!!!
DeleteHaha .... you sound SO indignant ;-)
DeleteThe one at the very top looks like a fish to me!!
DeleteOops.. thought they were a clever hint as to the fish stock! I think I'll creep away , lower lip wobbling, and become a 'lurker' again.
DeleteHahaha Minigranny...I thought they were fish too...
DeleteYes, me too....
DeleteWhat a pretty pie ! You will have to start a Cooking Blog .
ReplyDeleteYour pie looks beautiful John ...... give it a pout and it will be Facebook worthy ! XXXX
ReplyDeleteLooks scrumdiddlyumptious! The leaves do look a bit fishy though, btw... this Walking Dead episode will blow you out of the water no matter what you already know about it.
ReplyDeleteSo I'll watch it (again) Tuesday night. =)
Cant wait it looks fab
DeleteMary Berry could take lessons from you, John.
Deletebest episode ever!!
DeleteIs it fish or fowl?
ReplyDeleteVery fowl......i started again
DeleteYummy! I'll come on over!
ReplyDeletedoes it have a bottom crust?
ReplyDeleteOf course!
DeleteOh, dear. When you exclaimed "arse over tit", then announced you'd made chicken-and-mushroom pie using fish stock, I thought you were admitting a serious slip. The pie looks eatable -- but is the fish stock a Welsh cook's quirk?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pie. I am going to gogle a recipe.
ReplyDeleteYou have a hand for the pastry! Mary Berry would be proud!
ReplyDeleteI will not give a thing away but "Nibble on that...". You will delight in that phrase later.
ReplyDeleteGet ready for a nail-biting rousing episode!
Worthy of Mary Berry! (or substitute your favourite dishy cook).
ReplyDeleteNever watched your favourite programme - doesn;t sound my sort of thing.
Nor mine either, Weave.
DeleteLooks good.
ReplyDeleteChicken and mushroom with FISH stock? Looks lovely, though!
ReplyDeleteNooooo i remade the gravy
DeleteSpoiler alert....Rick will make hard decisions , Daryl will look grubby sweaty nd sort of cute, someone will die...etc etc etc
ReplyDeleteI wish I were good at pie crusts. I only do well with apple crumbles.
ReplyDeletePie looks great, love the artwork.
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with a good pie. As long as you don't have a soggy bottom.
ReplyDeleteThe pie looks delicious but are you aware that Albert seems to have left footprints all over it??
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for TWD update from you. We don't get the channel on our cable package!
On the theme of not being totally well, has there been any hippo news? I lurk and don't comment but keep looking at your recent hippo post to see if there is anything. The trail seems to have gone cold though....
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned before you need to start a craft & cooking blog!
ReplyDeleteRecipes please!
The new episode of The Walking Dead will surprise you.
ReplyDeleteThose Trelawnyd residents look a bit rough, especially the one with the hatchet. If I were you, I'd go out with a bodyguard for a while.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pie! Must be a bug going round - my son is home from college today with a dicky tum.
