Think Big
Today was a telecommute day for me and I spend a fair bit of time sitting on my computer from early this morning, I think from 5 till about 8 I got more done this morning than I get done on a normal day at the office, then I was busy doing a few things around the house ion between checking work emails, then my wife saw a recipe for Chicken Pot Pie, with simple ingredients, that she wanted to try and after seeing so many great recipes on here I decided we should think big and go for it

And since I didn't take any photos today I looked through my Folders and found this Statue With Think Big on it for this post, I know this shot doesn't really give a sense of scale but it sure was big and you can maybe get an idea by seeing the covering over an entrance to a building beside it. The sculptor who made it for sure was thinking big
OKay so we realised we needed some ingredients, mainly the chicken and some low-fat milk we had the rest, and we also needed a pie dish, so we headed out to pick one up, first we went to Kohls as my Wife needed new slippers and they have the ones she likes, which they did, but ..
is it just me if you go to a big store looking for something two things happen,, they have moved it from where it used to be and you search back and forth all over before finding it, its never the first thing you see.
While there we checked for a pie dish there with no success, so we went to another shop by the mall, and luckily they had one and some other bits we needed but again took ages to find them, but then off to the supermarket to pick up the ingredients we needed., It was about 3:30 PM by the time we got home but we decided to go for it, made the filling easy enough even making our own chicken broth first as all the ones in store have ingredients my wife can't have, then made the filling, all was going good, we were thinking we have this, well I was being Mr Positive that I am.
Onto the Crust again pretty simple ingredients and easy to do, and off we went, mixed it up rolled it out, but I misjudged the size of the pie dish when I dropped it on it wasn't big enough to cover the pie, just barely but not enough, and then we realized we did not have any eggs to make an egg wash, so had to do a quick run to the supermarket to pick some up, got stuck in traffic by some road works, but made it there got the eggs and home we went for attempt two of the pie crust, and did better the second time and got it in the oven.
And the final result
It looked not to bad, Sorry just a quick snap with my phone, but we were both pretty hungry by this time and had to get it on our plates
And if you are wondering how it tasted, not to bad, if we try it again we will try some other changes and double check we have all the ingredients we need, and start earlier in the day, but it was edible, and filled the gap :)
So that’s my day have hardly been on here but will catch up this evening

Do you want to know what I'm missing in your well written and with nice pictures decorated post? No? I miss the !DERANGED recipe ;) lol
Now, you have made me hungry with a quite tasty looking pie and I don't know how to make it ... now I need a !BEER instead 😉
I wish you a great weekend JJ 😊
Since it wasnt a total success I for some !DERANGED reason decided not to share the recipe, and a !BEER would have been nice to wash it down
OK, I see I have to find it myself - but not yet, because we just have had lunch and I'm not hungry 😉
I hope you don't call me !DERANGED but maybe it wasn't hte recipe's fault that it was not a success ;) lol
!BEER
LOL sorry about that I was just searching for it, my wife had it on her ipad, and I can find so many recipes but not the one she found, how !DERANGED is that
Ohh no I was not blaming the recipe, I will admit neither of us are pastry cooks LOL
!BEER
I have found about 100 Chicken Pot Pie recipes - maybe I'll ask my wife to give it a try and cook such an exotic food, but I'm afraid that she would call me !DERANGED 😉
You said it - I would have blamed the ingredients - it might have been the wrong chicken or so ;) lol
!BEER
Oh for us it may have been the flour, we go for one with out any of the additives that many have its !DERANGED when one starts reading the labels on food
But it actually wasn't to bad I enjoyed it but if we try again we will make some little changes, but wont add !BEER
If I did read all what's written on some labels of tood, I think I wouldn't buy anything - it's so !DERANGED what's in the food nowadays, so much chemistry.
My wife makes a delicious stew with !BEER but I haven't heard of a pie with it ;) lol

That looks absolutely delicious, Jay!
Pot pies are the perfect comfort food to warm you up from the inside out! @tattoodjay 🔪🥧🥄
Ohh yeah they sure can be this one wasn't quite that but not bad for a first try I guess
The crust turned out perfectly and that's the hardest part, for me at least!
Yeah I was quite pleased with how it came out first time we have made one from scratch
@tattoodjay ugh, I hate it when wanting to make something and not having all the ingredients. It looks very tasty, good job on the crust, too.
Ohh yeah that was so annoying and for a first time making a crust from scratch I guess it came out pretty welll thanks :)
