I got myself a new toy

It's a great toy! It allows me to make GIANT, BIG, HUGE treats. And dinner.

See? That was dinner. Meat pies as big as my fist! (am I the only one who can't look at 'meat pie' without thinking 'there's a smutty joke in here somewhere'? I am? Oh.) These were really good, and so unbelievably filling that we had one each and couldn't eat another bite! There's two in the freezer right now, for when we're not in the mood to cook. (I made them using this recipe, but they did turn out quite salty, though we think that may be my fault since I used concentraded beef stock in jellyform (it was a new product, I was curious, and in the commercial, it wiggled when they took it out of the package. Really, it couldn't be helped.) and used 2 instead of just 1.) For the pie crust I used this recipe and tutorial from The Pioneer Woman, which is an excellent tutorial and recipe! I only used butter for the crust, because I don't think lard in any type or form is used in Holland. I may be mistaken, though.)


The only downside of my new toy, though?
It's handwash only. Sigh...

  1. When I see "meat pie" I think "Sweeney Todd", which isn't very appetizing lol. But these look quite yummy!

    I just realized I really miss you. We need to Skype.
