Pie season has begun

Pie weather has begun. Chicken and mushroom pot pies. Actually, truth be told, they were mushroom and chicken.

Thanks also to those balmy, late summer nights, the garden gave us a bunch of brilliantly delicious amakhowe mushrooms.

Usually, and in winter, when we have a chicken roast, I make gravy. When we did this chicken on the Weber, it was still summer. In a matter of days, she was rudely blasted away.

I still had two relatively large ones so I decided to make a mushroom and onion bechamel base for the leftover chicken filling. With some white wine for good measure.

For the side, a simple warm courgette and capsicum salad: lightly sautéed in olive oil and dressed with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Comfort food. On a Tuesday on a Monday.

Post script: I am trying to participate in @traciyork's April #HiveBloPoMo. I emphasise trying because RL - and my day job - have been so busy over the last while that I've not known which way to turn. That shouldn't stop you - or anyone. Read about how to participate here.

This is Day 12

Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:

• re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
• and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.

I blog to the Hive blockchain using a number of decentralised appplications.

• From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.

• Join Hive using this link and then join us in the Silver Bloggers' community.
