Beef Pot Pie and a Tangent

Last night I made a Beef Pot Pie for dinner using the leftovers from our Sunday roast and following the comical directions of Jessica over at Everyday Romneys.  I steamed up some asparagus to go with it, and it was mmm mmm GOOD!

The kids weren't huge fans (I'm thinking it was the Thyme) but they managed to choke swallow a few bites down.  Cy was the worst.  On his second to last bite, he ran to the trash can and spit it out then proceeded to make over the top gagging noises till we told him to knock it off.  Guess the part he was gagging over....the pie crust.  The freaking pie crust!  WHO gags on a pie crust!  Lame.  Princess did a good job with it, and the Beast, of course, wouldn't touch it.  What else is new.  That kid lives off Vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast in his milk, Ritz crackers, goldfish crackers, fruit snacks, and occasionally yogurt.  He's impossible. 

On the other hand, Dave and I thought it was divine.  I had some for lunch today and although Dave doesn't know it, he's having it for dinner again tonight.  It's time to clean out the fridge which means leftover night.  YAY!  I love me some leftover's!  No cooking?  Sounds good to me!  Especially in this freaking heat.  We are on a heat advisory for the next few days.  It's September.  Sep. tem. ber.  I hate Arizona.

I told Dave I was going to start decorating for Halloween.  He said, "Are you serious?!?!  It's 112 degrees outside!"  So what?  I think I'll just turn down the AC to 70.  Feels like fall to me!

I'm adding a whole cooked chicken with veggies and gravy to our upcoming menu.  Then I plan to use the leftovers for a chicken pot pie.  I have an extra pie crust that needs using.  Waste not, want not, that's what I always say!  Well, not really but it sounded good right there.

Sorry for the "Hate Arizona" tangent.  Sometime my abhorrence of Arizona gets the better of me.

I'll be better tomorrow.

Really!

Oh wait, it's supposed to be 150 degrees, or something outrageous like that, tomorrow.

I take it back.  I'm still going to hate Arizona.

I'll be better in November.

Maybe.
