So I have to admit partly I'm just posting this in the hopes that bitching about my heat will bring it back. That's how it seems to work, for some reason. I guess I'll text Hapless Repair Guy tomorrow and let him know it's still randomly cutting out. Have to admit my computer works better in the mid-60s, though. Man I gotta get this thing into

I am also attempting to make chicken pot pie! :D I made pastry today, but I really think I overworked it. Last time I made pastry was literally junior high, in home ec, and I was so bad at it (I am impatient. I will go in and scrunch the not-coming-together dough together with my fingers and get it under my fingernails kind of way, because I'm so frustraaated it's not coming together. Another girl in my group ended up doing the pastry and she had a much lighter, more patient, touch). I think I should have stirred the water in with a fork instead of my hands...oops.

Also I think your vent about heating thing might work (lol...vent) but I feel the optimal way it works is when you complain to someone who can fix the problem and someone you will feel right embarrassed having complained to, in order to have the heat magically fixed. >.

I feel embarrassed complaining to anyone, is the thing. Although I burned my hand on the damn heater, sooo maybe I should've tried your method first and not gotten burned.

The chicken pot pie's not-a-crust was delicious. I've never made actual pastry, so all I really know how to make is cookie/tart crust, and all of my pies are made with either tart crust or store-bought pie crust, because I am lazy as fuck.

eep, sorry to hear about the hand.

What is the recipe for your crust? :)
I like baking and since for a few weeks there are other people to bake for I like trying new things...or rather old things that I have failed at...I still haven't given up the dream of being able to make non-leaky Pavlova! That sounds gross (and it kind of is...it's very sugary and thus sticky water) but it is still tasty. It's just very disappointing when I think I've finally done it!

The chicken pot pie biscuits or the tart crust? The tart crust is here: http://culinarycosplay.tumblr.com/post/116472022434/cinnamon-butterscotch-pie-last-time-i-checked and I think the chicken pot pie biscuits are just... regular biscuits?

I meant the tart crust - thanks for the link!
