Reies has declared these to be suitable kitten toddler food.

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

They used to be available in stores next to the Chicken Pot Pies and Beef Pot Pies. No longer.
Will probably mix and match some of the recipes and definitely going to try the crust poured on instead of rolling one out.

Reies is going to feed the kittens pot pie? *grins* I am glad to have been a help.

Reies is trying to accustom the kittens to people food.

Ranel objects to the idea of 'kitten pot pie' and thinks us mundanes are barbaric.

hmm use of comma would probably have been useful there.

There is a tale of how in developing countries where literacy is low, the way many people know what the contents of the can goods are is determined by the picture on the label. Baby food was very disturbing to them as there's usually a smiling baby on the label.

Never seen a recipe for tuna pie and I love tuna :)
I could conceivably make pastry... I have done so before *not very convincing look*

Local shop would be too pricey if they even have it and asking hubby to collect would mean waiting.

Can't put peas in things - its a meep-thing. They have to be seperate and to the side of the plate. I do like them, but not mixed with other foods *shudder* ...you can laugh, hubby does! Maybe a little potato instead and it would give it more texture. Hmmmmmm Hungry now.

I live in a family of strange unusual food um there a word for exclusions/requirements/presentations? Some of it's allergies but most aren't.

It does make a difference if noodles or rice are in the food entre or if they are served separately under the food entre. It tastes different. Short step to the beets can't touch the other foods on the plate.

Was wondering if I should add potato to this anyway as most pot pies have some. It's been since I was in my teens since I last saw a tuna pot pie in the grocery stores. So I'm reaching back a long way to remember all that was in one of these. I do know that the recipes for all the pot pies currently available commercially don't have pimento in them. They used to be and I liked them included. Will have to try them but in the mean time green peppers or red hmmm .

One of the other recipes posted has a pour on bisquick crust that bakes with the pot pie. There's a recipe for making bisquick from scratch posted too. *grins*

Once again that was me posting still sleep befuddled from my email account link to your comment. *head desk*

You're anonymous?

*tugs at Charis's invisibility cloak*

A cooked dinner I like my veggies seperate but I don't mind them touching, just not all thrown on top of each other *looks to hubby* its aesthetics.
But peas are a problem, I'll actually pick through the plate and segregate them. I never liked them as a kid, I'd check under everything they had to be gone before I'd even taste anything else on the plate - the compulsion remains though I do now like them.

Know someone who can't eat white food. Thats the strangest one I've heard. Bread/Milk/Rice/potato.

Don't think it would have a lot of texture without potato. Can't say never tried a tuna pot pie, its always tuna and pasta bake - hubby home early and has to go for god biccies so grabbing some pastry for me *giggle* probs for the best ;)

I saw that - Bisquick - heard of it, but no idea what it actually is!

You can do many things with Bisquick. Make pancakes, waffles, drop biscuits or regular biscuits, impossible pies (you add the mix into the pie ingredients and it solidifies it...hmm), there are these really delicious sausage bites (which you won't like because um sausage)that disappear at parties.

Google Bisquick and choose the Betty Crocker site
here's one I posted just for you (http://charisstoma.livejournal.com/572073.html)
