Chicken Pot Pie (again)
New kitchen bunny on hot hob
Close up of new wood bunny
OK, I made another chicken pot pie. The original one I had made some time back looked good, but because the recipe called for everything to be basically cooked in the pie, we weren't happy with the veggies as they weren't cooked enough for us. So-oo this time I cooked the potatoes, onions, carrots, and green beans first and then added everything into the pie at the end.... much better. Also better because I added a bit more seasoning as well as about 2oz of white wine. Much better! (Even grandson had 2 pieces)
And this little wooden bunny was at Jo-ann's (fabric shop where I ran to get some yarn) for 60% off, so I couldn't resist. He makes a cute 'kitchen bunny', don't you think?
This is the crochet hat made with the yarn I bought at Jo-ann's. As you can see, it's way to big for me... but looks cute on bear. I will try to make a smaller version using less bulky yarn. However, it was my first attempt at crocheting a hat and the pattern was easy to follow.
Now I really have to run as I should be in Yoga class right now, but am playing hooky so that I can do some Easter shopping before the weekend.
Wait! Wait! one more pic!

Mmm, it's lunch time here, I'll take a piece of that pot pie. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe bunny is adorable, of course, and I'm super-impressed with the crocheted hat. Cute dragon too.
Have a lovely day.
It WAS good, Kim. I had the last piece for lunch today... but I would have shared it with you.
DeleteTHERE is YOUR dragon!!!!!! Thank you for showing him, to me. Or is it a she?
ReplyDeleteThat bunny is so cute and that dinner is..... Oh wow, it looks sooo goooood!!!
Gentle hugs,
"Auntie"
Yes, I was hoping you'd see him... and he is a *him*.
DeleteLove the bunny...I myself would have brought him home. Bear looks cute in his new hat...my bear has a crochet collar that my sister made years ago. I think it is fun to have little critters and creatures you can purchase with a children s book. I enjoyed your blog today...actually I enjoy them every day :)
ReplyDeleteBunny is sweet... and even sweeter at 60% off. And I too like the little critters that you can purchase with a children's book. I have 'the saggy baggy elephant' book and critter too. It was always one of my favorites.
DeleteThe chicken pie looks yummy. I have not had one of those for ages. Bunny adds a festive touch, as does bear in his new cap.
ReplyDeleteBunny fits well into my kitchen decor...
DeleteYou can never have (and eat) too many pot pies. They are such versatile dishes, tasty and all-inclusive.
ReplyDeleteYour Easter bunny is very sweet and the bear’s hat fits him beautifully. Are you going to show me your hat too?
If I get another hat finished, I will post a picture. However, if it's too large also, it will go to bear #2.
DeleteNice new Easter bunny. He's a bit wooden in his expression, though. :-)
ReplyDeleteHe's *shy*...
