Chicken pot pie is one of my favorite comfort foods. Thanks for
posting your method.

Sounds like a great meal, Wayne. Hubby buys those a lot because he
likes to tear into them for lunch. Now you've given me an idea about
what to do with the rest of it after he snacks.

Thanks!

Why does the Duh'Weenie always type "DAvid"? That's gotta be a "guilt
typo", the real David is now a fourteen year old that the Duh'Weenie
has kept imprisoned in a hidden sound proof room since he was a six
year old milk carton kid.

I simply can't imaging slagging the taste of someone who I like in real life
on a Usenet group, it's very infantile behavior...also a pretty good
barometer of insecurity, I need say no more as Lil' Wayne's perfervid
babblings are here for *all* of us to see.

And I'm continually amused that Lil' Wayne, a 65 year-old "adult", is always
crying on about "mean" Usenet posters...I mean GOOD GRIEF already..!!!

It has been a long time since I made a chicken pot pie, but I made one
when my youngest son was visiting at Christmas, because that is one of
his favorites. Like someone mentioned, it is comfort food. I really
enjoyed it. :-)

It's a comfort food for me, too. Mom used to make both chicken and beef pot
pies. I always looked forward to them.

Yes! We're so mean! We constantly pick on him and his questionable
behavior! What assholes!!

Sheesh.....do these people ever sit down and realize how sad they are
or do they just not care....I think it's both...

I just love chicken pot pie, but I have never made one. The last
time I had pot pie was a turkey pot pie at a local restaurant. It
was the type that was topped with a square of puff pastry.
I love the usual pie crust type, but this was really delicious, too.

If I have it in the freezer, or the time to make "rough puff pastry", I
will use shortcrust pastry for the bottom and the puff pastry for the top.
It really is delicious that way.

I know some folks forego a botttom pastry in pot pies, but to me a pie is
not a pie without a bottom crust. :-)

Is rough puff pastry the one that's done in a food processor?

Like how many people buy a stupidmarket deli chicken and when
they get it home rather than eating the sorry ass salty thing before
it gets totally cold hack it all up to begin making something else...
I mean normal folks buy those things becaue they've been out all day,
they're hungry, they don't want to get home adn begin prepping
dindin... I bet none. Obviously while Duh'Weenie was there he stocked
up on Swanson frozen pot pies... he never bought any deli chicken but
as is his usual sleazy habit the NAMBLA worm couldn't resist
concockting yet another fairy tale.

No, it's a traditional method, but takes less times and there are fewer
turns, folds, and rollouts than true puff pastry.

•9 oz (253 g) plain flour
•Pinch of salt
•3 oz (84 g) lard or hard vegetable fat
•3 oz (84 g) butter
•1 teaspoon lemon juice
•Water

1.Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl and add the fat, cut into lumps
about the size of a walnut. Stir into the flour.

2.Add the lemon juice and cold water to mix to a stiff dough.

3.Turn on to a lightly floured board and roll out into an oblong.

4.Fold one end up, leaving about one-third of the strip to fold down, seal
the edges with the rolling pin and give the pastry a half turn.

5.Continue thus until the pastry has been rolled and folded four times.

6.If possible leave for an hour before using.

7.Roll out and use for sweet and savoury pastries.
