~Snow, Birds and Meat Pie~ :-)

We are having a super storm today.. The winds are

whipping thru the yard almost making it a white out

at times.. Yet the birds are still out there in this cold!
This is good meat pie weather :-)
The wind knocked my windchimes down!!! :-(
With the wind the windchill its making it colder....the

temperature is BELOW zero.. BRRRRRRR.... I am so

amazed the birds are out there by the dozens today!

Id be in a nice warm tree! :-)

I counted 4 cardinals at one time out there ! With

20 mile an hour winds they must have some strong

wing strength to be able to fly in this.. :-) Woodie

was out there too :-)
Well... I want you to know, that meat pie photo there?
Half is gone... It is SO good!! Penny did a great job

and put in just the right amount of water to make it

really juicey.. THATS what makes them good.
She does a nice crust too.. Its not a homemade crust,

a already made one, which, is excellent.. its just like

home made, plus its so much easier, to just warm it

up a tad.. then unroll it and put it on top your pie.. So

very easy....
This pie- I forgot to have Penny pick up some rutabaga!

but, it really makes them even better.. Some that I have

given this recipe to and that make pasty's put carrots

in and YOU KNOW I aint gonna do that.. I do NOT

like them no matter WHAT they are in.. I don't keep

carrots here at all.. :-) The main ingredients are minced

beef as its called in the UK or ground beef as we call it..

Plus sliced potatoes and diced onion.. Mix it up so the

beef is distributed all thru the potatoes, I mix them in

a big bowl, then put into the pie pan.. I don't put a bottom

crust either,, just the top .. I add water, the juice from

the beef is not enough to cook the potatoes by the time

the crust is done.. And if there is NOT enough juice they

tend to be dry.. I don't like that.. Oh, don't forget to put

in salt and pepper when your mixing it up... Pile it high

cuz it will shrink down as the potatoes get soft.. :-)

Cut a few slits in the top and bake it for about hour and

a half at 350 degrees or until the potatoes are done.

Stick a knife in it to test and find out.. When its done,

let it rest for a few minutes to calm down.. then cut a

huge chunk out of it and ENJOY~!!~ I heartily recommend

it.. I should put a cook book together for fast easy

recipes for amputees :-)

Ive not had any problems with my keyboard today...

"knock on wood" but I am on guard.. I have NO idea

what is wrong.. I asked Raife to ask his son, but not

heard back .. I sure hope its NOT my computer.. but

it sure makes me wonder since this new one did the

same thing.. Always something...

Lunch time and you KNOW what I'm having.. just look

at the photo and imagine half of THAT gone ! :-) They

sent strawberries yesterday with the COA lunch but

I didn't eat them, which is surprising cuz I LOVE

strawberries.. I'm gonna eat them today.. while I watch

this snow storm... Right now its almost a white out, but

the sun is trying to get through.. it peeks out at times.

This snow wont let the sun win... :-)

Post time, lunch time and snow watching time for this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE... Aint life grand? I LOVE IT!!!

I say "Thank you Lord".. And.. I shall return!!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
