The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Got to Aldi at 0940 and it was virtually empty. By the time I left it was heaving and the car park was almost full.
The sun is bad for driving as its very bright and low.

 

[numbnuts]

Yes, that is the problem

To me honest if I have too much of anything I'll put it in a pie of some sorts.
I had a hamper for christmas and it was a cooked joint of ham too much for me so I had a couple of meals out of it, then with a chicken breast from the freezer I made 4 chicken, ham and mushroom pies for the freezer, nothing goes to waste at Numbnuts Hovel.

I hate driving when it's like that especially if there are trees and the sun flickers through them.

Coooeeeee. 6 deg and the rain has stopped for now.

You lot are confusing me. Its the 31st December, not new years day.

Stay safe peeps

Auckland, New Zealand saw the New Year in over an hour ago!

I take my hat off to you as I would not have a clue how to make a pie, that was my wife's domain.
Being a woman I asked Mo for advice and she said "Coop, 3rd Isle on the right"

 

[classic33]

Yes, but if want something for sandwiches what do you suggest?? All the prepacked stuff is too much for 1 person.

Put more in each sarnie!

How big do you think me gob is?
Don't answer that

Don't answer that

Use thinner slices of bread then.

And I won't go for a ride in those conditions either for fear of being hit from behind.

I think Australia has now welcomed in the new year.

I think Australia has now welcomed in the new year.

Not where my aunt and cousins are I don’t think. They are on the west near Perth. I’m sure they are either 7 or 8 hours ahead if I remember correctly.

Just checked. It’s just gone 9pm there just now.

It's chucking it down with rain now. Very heavy.

Making a pie is easy. I take it you have a pie dish in the kitchen. Buy ready made pastry, make whatever filling you want. Onion, diced steak/chicken/veg, just like making a casserole, thicken and leave to cool.
Grease a pie dish with Margerine, cut pasty to size, leaving enough for the top. Place pastry in the dish, fill with the mixture, put pastry lid on , crimping the edge with a fork.
Preheat oven, 180c put pie in oven cook for 30-35 mins until golden brown.
Simples.

Making pastry is even more easier and if you have any left put in in the freezer.

Toasties with ham, cheese, tomato and onion.
