We were having people for lunch. — Let me rephrase that: We had invited a couple of people to come have lunch with us. It was just going to be snacky stuff, so we got some sliced turkey and cranberry relish. But Charlie kinda sorta wanted a fancy-ish dessert, so we got some phyllo cups and blueberry pie filling. I was going to mix spices into the pie filling and put it in the little cups and drizzle it with a mixture of lemon juice and confectioner’s sugar.
But both our guests had to cancel, so that didn’t happen.
Even little crusty cups will go stale, if you don’t use them, so I decided to use them for supper one night. And I made these two things:
Very nice and tasty. We enjoyed eating regular stuff all kinda fancied up.
We either lead very dull lives, or very full ones, depending on how you look at it.
I’m posting today at Fatal Foodies about a vegan casserole I made for Memorial Day.

June 12, 2018 at 11:04amGood point. WHAT IF WE WERE CANNIBALS? Canceling on us was damned thoughtless, in that case.

Chicken a la Justin T, or Turkey a la Donald T….
With my luck, it would be Stew a la Pete!

What do you mean I am weird, eccentric, strange, touched in the head, and spammish?
I have been this way for 60 some years!

June 13, 2018 at 7:58amBetter to eat a nice hamburger! Or a nice, homemade, light crust, chicken pot pie. Or a delicious ham, coated in pineapple. Yes, I am a glutton!

June 13, 2018 at 8:00amPete, I think we’re two of a kind. How scary is that?

June 13, 2018 at 8:06amWell, Steggie is not scared. SHE invited herself to dinner!
Me? I just figure I am one of those guys with great taste!
My mum used to make half pork, half beef, tourtiere meat pies.
Must ask my sis if she still has the recipe!

June 12, 2018 at 6:30pmYesss, Lady, yes! I will eat anything in puff pastry, I swear. I make my own, never bought the things, and I haven’t put spray cheese and pepperoni in them because I don’t like those things, but if I were out and someone offered me puff pastry with spray cheese and pepperoni, I WOULD TRY ONE! 😛

June 13, 2018 at 7:56amYou MAKE puff pastry? You shame me!
