It is almost 10:30 and the pies have been in for just under an hour. So far they look wonderful, no drips yet in the new oven. The oven self-adjusted from 350 degrees to 325. They are looking good! I'll let you know how they taste later.

Sounds like they are well on their way to tasting wonderful.

I've postponed the jelly. A friend (who sometimes crashes here when his schedule prevents him from getting the ferry home) called to ask if there was room in the inn, so it's going to be a little zoo-y later on, and I don't feel like the juggling act. I'll do some sausages and some beans and some spuds and we'll be fine. Nothing special, but it will be satisfying.

It would certainly satisfy me. The pies are out and golden brown, evenly browned so having 3 pies in the oven at one time plus a foil tray on the lower rack was no problem for the heat circulation. I like it - no hot spots, no portion of the crust done more than any other - all good.

I'll take some photos and post them for you.

Those pies look so good!

Tonight I'm cooking pork chops, banditos, wilted spinach, braised leeks and apple sauce.

For pudding Kieran is making banana custard and pepsi max to drink

My brother dropped off some spaghetti squash from his garden so that is what I am going to make for dinner tonight. I am going to make a nice tomato basil sauce with Ground Turkey Meatballs to go along with it it. I alsobhave a bunch of fruit that needs to be used up so I am going to put together a fruit salad with mango, banana, pear, peach, and pineapple with a light syrup made from concentrated orange juice and a dash of coconut milk...

Ooooooh Linda those pies look lovely. Did you have them with custard or ice cream?.

I've got a pork casserole that's been in the slow cooker since 7.30.a.m and it smells so good!

Whipped cream is our topping of choice. What cut of pork are you using and what have you got with it in the slow cooker? It sounds wonderful - wish I were there.

I just had a piece of blueberry pie - yup, it was well worth waiting for.

Ooooh whipped cream is just as nice!.

You know i'm not sure what pork it is?. I just pulled it out the freezer and it's already diced just to put in the slow cooker.

I'm busy doing a test run on meats because i've got the girls coming for dinner at some point, but so far i'm going to go with diced lamb

Oh dear! I don't eat lamb. I could never get my head around it as I had a pet lamb as a child.

Just some easy wraps tonight. Spinach flavored wraps with blackened grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, and whatever else I find to throw on them.

Well, last night's planned activity (jelly making) got re-scheduled to tonight, and with it, the pizza I was planning to order last night. (Good thing I don't have to plan a dinner at this point, since I just finished what was billed as a "light lunch", and am s.t.u.f.f.e.d. Chinese(ish) and very tasty.)

I had some fresh sweet corn. I already had a tasty late lunch of leftovers from Sunday though so I was pretty full.
Linda those pies look great!
