Tim travelled most of this week which meant lots of plane food, conference centre food and possibly one decent dinner. I knew after days on the road (or in the air) he'd like to walk up the driveway, interest piqued by the smell of dinner wafting out into the night, before stepping into a warm house to be greeted by wife and dog. I also knew that he'd be after something simple, comforting and substantial, so I presented him with a proper meat pie. You know the type I mean? The kind with actual meat in them, thoughtfully marinated in red wine & herbs, gently cooked with choice vegetables and finally married to puff pastry in a brilliant combination which makes the meat pie a national food icon (sadly). Well this is what he got, and judging by the empty pie dish left in the sink afterwards, I think he enjoyed it.
Go the leftover pastry!

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! looks delicious. i showed webby and he asked why there wasn't one with his name on it... you've got me craving pie now, and chocolate tart come to think of it!
Ah newlywed life. How gorgeous. You can't beat a well made home baked pie really.
It's pretty funny and possibly a bit lame, but oh well. Next step is to make some decent spelt pastry (not even going to try for puff) b/c I haven't had a meat pie in many years.
