Because E & P were coming for lunch I made a chicken, mushroom and parsley pie and prepped the veg and not long after that they arrived. Lunch done I took E to see the garden centre and we had a happy pootle around there for an hour. Simple pleasures.
They've just left, Ma has had a tiny piece of pie and a new potato and is off to bed.
She's just told me she won't be going again next week.

Ah- she's just playing to the gallery- she'll go again next week, I'm sure (not least because you'll be manhandling her up the steps to the van if needs be)
ReplyDeleteI thought calling it the "Laydees' Club" appeared to appeal so maybe that might help make it more palatable. I pretty much expected she'd be narky after we'd gone, having been very fluffy whilst we were there. Twas ever thus- at least she didn't throw a complete wobbly.
We had the loveliest of days- simple pleasures indeed and your chook pie was a thing of beauty which made my pastry deprived best beloved a very happy man. See you again soon! love E&P xxx
Your pie presentation puts mine to shame Bee. Mine never looks so professional even if I try very hard ... and I don't often try very hard. lol
