When you get a nice one, with nice flaky pastry and a filling that's not
all gluggy or bland.... you remember where you got it from and go back
;-)

This was the first time we'd been to this particular cafe that makes
their own pies etc, so we'll certainly be going back again.
I'll try to remember to take a pic of the pie next time.

Unfortunately, it's not that I don't like it (I used to have chilli and
pepper on most things, and loved all spicy food), it's just my
stomachs/body's metabolism/chemical makeup has changed and I can't have
it . Same with anything spicy.

Instantaneous burning of the mouth, tongue and lips, and if I'm silly
enough to swallow it, the pain is bad enough to put me in hospital.
Even small amounts of ginger cause me grief!!

I still love making my curries though. I just can't do the taste test
thing on them while I'm making. So all my curries are now made to my
partners taste :-)
Everyone still loves them, so she's doing a good job as my official
taster:-)

Over here they would be called a calzone :-)

Pizza dough and filling.

Mmmmm, I haven't made calzones in quite some time, I've just been making
pizzas. Might have to knock up a couple of garlic prawn
calzones/stromboli's next time I make some dough.

You should try sausage rolls sometime, with tomato sauce (ketchup) at a
'gathering', they're always a HUGE hit.

You're not kidding there's always something!!

I've got to harvest the wild rocket soonish (it grows on our property
like a weed!!) before the cold really sets in and use it all to make my
rocket pesto, some of the neighbours want me to cull a couple of the
turkey's wandering around the place for a Christmas in July party, some
other people in the village want me to teach them how to 'sex' their
chickens and process their roosters, I'm also running rabbit processing
classes, roasting and blending spices for curry mixes (to sell at the
local markets) for the coming winter, I've got to get my cold smoker up
and running to do garlic, salt, cheese and salmon.... and then I've got
to keep on top of the firewood issue and keep my 5 wood 'stations'
stocked on a rotational basis from the trees I felled, cut and split on
our property.

Ahhhh retirement bliss ;-)
