Did you cut steam vents? Can't say that it would have prevented all
the chicken lava from flowing, though.

And I now crave chicken pot pie. I haven't had one since I was a kid
and Swanson wasn't made from 50% fat and 50% sodium.

Marie's is good?

When I make that kind of pie, I use a pastry funnel:

The pastry doesn't get soggy and the filling stays inside the pie

Cute, but I just make little cones of foil to use as a pastry funnel
and that works too.

No crust? Use mashed potatoes on top. Or dumplings. Or something!
Cover up that nekkid chicken, woman. Otherwise, it's just chicken
stew.

Hmm, having been born in Lancaster, Pa. myself, what you are describing
sounds more like adding "rivels" to chicken-corn soup. Pot pie noodles
are about 2 inch squares, also cooked in the soup. Of course, this
varies from family to family I suppose, but the square noodles can
be purchased in packages labeled "Pot Pie" noodles.

I like chicken pies (which is what my family always called the frozen
type) with both top and bottom crust, but if you only have one I think
on top is the way to go.

I think Barb's looked fine on the plate. I shouldn't have looked, because
now I'm really hungry . . . sigh.

Yes, I did. Your intent was good and very attractive, but without the
sealed edge to keep the wandering gravy down below, you lost your crusty
crust. I'm glad it tasted good though.

Goomba...doing an extra 12 hours at work tonight while everyone else is

cruise to pay for so I guess it is worth it. <sigh>

I thought it was illegal. Maybe it depends on the state?

Once a week, check the price of your cruise to see if it comes down (you
can get it re-priced up until the final payment). Princess lowered the
price of our Alaska cruise $1,000. I knew prices were falling, but this
was way more than I expected.

Sometimes I have trouble telling when you are joking. You *are* joking?

I've never seen a savory pie without a top crust. I've never seen a
"custard" pie with a top crust. I'm sure I've forgotten some exceptions.

Yup, and since you mentioned it, a savory cheesecake is considered a pie
by many folks also.
