I have had this chicken pie before. It was amazing. It's one of my favorite comfort foods. Hmmm, what's your mom doing right now?
thanks for the comment... i have run into a ton of women online who are saying the same thing you are... that said, here's a question (i couldn't find your email addy): what would you say to the christian friend who heard (from your mouth) that you were considering a homebirth with a certain midwife that you trust and promptly told you that she had heard horror stories about how this woman handled emergencies at the hospital she worked in? i was polite, and careful... but i also was transported to the hospital by the midwife that she is bashing... i am so confused by all that everyone is throwing at me... any suggestions?
btw... the pot pie looks awesome. i have to make that sometime soon!!
I'm sick today. Can you make the pot pie for me and bring it over? Wow. That looks SOOOOOO good.
Hey, you know how we were talking about how Isaac can't stand onions and I love them? Well, I've been noticing for a couple of months now that raw onions don't agree with me...they are my favorite, but I never feel well after I eat them. Tell Isaac I think I'm going to have to give them up. I think cooked onions are OK, though! I can't wait to try this recipe!
