Wow, does fresh vanilla smell good, and my van smelled good all the way home from town today. I bought the last of the vanilla beans from the co-op in town, I was so happy, now I could start making my vanilla.
I took a break this afternoon and looked at a few magazines. I love these magazines, Flea Market Style, Vintage Style and Romantic Country Flea Market Style, I love getting neat decorating ideas.
I have to tell you about one of the dishes that was on my menu for the week. I told you I sometimes switch up the menu, this one was on for Friday but I made it today. It was Trisha's Chicken Pie and it was WONDERFUL!!! I did add some frozen peas to it and made her Daddy's Biscuits to go along with it, though I didn't really have to because the biscuit on top was so good. It helped to have the extra biscuit to sop up the creamy liquid from the pie...YUM! This dish was an easy dish to make.
I love ending my day like this and now I'll put my feet up and join my husband to watch our beloved Chicago Blackhawks play.
Y'All have a wonderful night....Go HAWKS!!!!!




yay for homemade glandless vanilla!

Isn't that chicken pie delicious??? I haven't found one recipe in that cookbook that is not good.
Loved your day, it's MY kind of quiet day :)

Hi Judy......Your pie looks delicious. It's nice to be able to relax with a book/magazine and a hot drink, occasionally.
I hope your team wins.
God Bless
