Something to balance off the vent


We had a great turkey day meal yesterday, minus the turkey;) Turkey was sold out at the grocery store, so we bought a pre-seasoned chicken in a bag for £2.99 (you actually cook it in the bag and it turned out perfect, tender and juicy). Made green been casserole for the first time, which I loved. Couldn't make any pie, as I don't do my own crusts and both fellas I asked at the grocery store looked at me like I had two heads when I asked where pie crusts were (they literally didn't understand what I meant). Don't know if they have this in the States, but we got a bottle of Bailey's with mint...yum...had a nice Bailey's (instant) coffee with the package lemon meringue pie we bought in place of the oatmeal pie I was going to bake, which was surprisingly tasty.

Unrelated, but here is an interesting article I found on New Zealand.

Yep, that's the one I mean. How come we never had that---it sounds like it's a standard turkey day side...

It comes with caramel as well now, although I do fancy the mint.

I'm sure I could easily follow directions for a pie crust, but why bother if I can buy one.

I told Steve we probably never had it bc you'd think it was unhealthy;)

Okaaaay

I think the problem may lay in that you asked for pie "crusts" - in the UK that either means the top of a pie or the bit around the edge which has no filling - what you wanted was a pie "Base" which supermarkets do sell.

Hope this helps you in future

Ah, well too late now. Regardless, I would have found it in the baking section (once I found the baking section!) if they'd had it, as I have bought them before at Morrison's.
