And of course always serve warm with vanilla ice cream...the best.<br />We have a German Bakery I absolutely love. The freshest cakes ever.<br />Arm is feeling much better. My husband was supposed to do it when he was on vacation in Sep but it rained every day. So together it took us about 4 weeks being we had to make sure it didn't rain 3 days prior and 24 hrs after and of course the time to do it. But we did save alnmost a thousand dollars doing it ourselves.<br />Wow Speedy I forgot about the chees on Apple Pie. I should have known being I used to prepare it that way when I was a short order cook many moons ago.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02173702830006208833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-67718138126765743362011-11-08T16:51:51.311-08:002011-11-08T16:51:51.311-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02173702830006208833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-85672051462102909012011-11-08T16:46:55.704-08:002011-11-08T16:46:55.704-08:00A wedge of sharp cheddar to nibble on in between b...A wedge of sharp cheddar to nibble on in between bites...<br /><br /><i>Apple pie w/o cheese<br />is like a kiss w/o a squeeze!</i>Speedy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01640242783952822072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-32959816973079227062011-11-08T15:34:49.756-08:002011-11-08T15:34:49.756-08:00man, we didn't get ONE unique apple pie idea b...man, we didn't get ONE unique apple pie idea but my bourbon-soaked raisins (which I knew about before :-)<br /><br />:-(Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-84772395623613307702011-11-06T19:20:29.038-08:002011-11-06T19:20:29.038-08:00Hi, Lisa!

I may have to try that as well.<br /><br />Fredd and Z, actually the way I do the cornbread it actually mixes into the chili rather than just being on top. That is why I said a dollop, as it cooks it sinks and mixes. I do it on a large scale for potlucks and at home as well. Some sliced jalapenos on the top or in the dollop adds a bit of spice to the mix.<br /><br />Looking for my mom's apple pie recipe with crust recipe but can't find it.

And you are right, just smooting on the mashed potatoes takes away from the icing look, and I thought dalloping on the spuds with peaks would more resemble a lemon meringe look, and yet keep everything savory. I think the sprinkles thing will have more of an effect than the torch, and it will be easier (bacon bits, perhaps?). And I do not know how mashed potatoes will take to a torch, either. Lots of unknowns with that.<br /><br />Curry: I've never been much of an Indian foodie, and curry is one of the main reasons for that - don't much care for it, and I don't think my relative will like it much, either. She's more of an American cuisine afficienado, much like myself.<br /><br />Here I go again with the slobber...Freddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778430453468720627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-28920537504630759452011-11-06T11:05:34.419-08:002011-11-06T11:05:34.419-08:00Fredd, I LOVE the idea of the crushed Frito crust....Fredd, I LOVE the idea of the crushed Frito crust.....got to figure out how to make it stick together, however.....<br /><br />But, I'm REALLY glad you like the idea of mashed potatoes on top making the chicken pot pie look like a real cupcake!

What could they be?...hmmmmmm Too bad peas don't come smaller than they are, you could have peas in the pot pie mixture and top the mash with peas but they're way too big to look like sprinkles..darn.<br />maybe chopped parsley stem sprinkled a little over the top?<br />How's about a cool addition to a chicken pot pie to really make it different? maybe a little curry in the chicken mixture and then sprinkle a tiny touch of curry powder on the mash? ...i don't know....You'll think of something :=-) <br />DELIGHTED that you like the mashed potato topping but I do urge you to pile it on like a cupcake, you know?, not just smoothed flat like a shepherd's pie looks.<br />MAN, you guys are making me HUNGRY!!Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-74679247991672019792011-11-06T10:55:10.906-08:002011-11-06T10:55:10.906-08:00Ticker:

About 100 entrants or so the last few years, and so I suppose you are right: cup-cake-pot-pie is probably going to be pretty pedestrian.<br /><br />HOWEVER: I think that your idea to combine a chicken pot pie with shepards pie is one that I am going with, I don't think anyone will submit something like this.<br /><br />I think this will be GREAT! And then the mashed potatos on top I will brown a bit with a propane torch, much lke creme broulet or lemon meringe pie, since looks are 50% of the judging.Freddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778430453468720627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-74592424622632132362011-11-06T10:29:26.621-08:002011-11-06T10:29:26.621-08:00Oh, my GOSH Ticker!
