Today, I am Cooking All The Things.

This morning, I made a Buttered Toast and Jam Pudding, which looks gorgeous. And, right now, I am making Honeyed Chicken Handpies.

Sometimes, I worry about the fact that 90% of all the savory dishes I can make are basically fancy variations on the theme of sandwich. Seriously, I can make excellent bao, bierocks, empanadas, and at least three kinds of meat pie. All of which are basically "meat inside a crust, sometimes with vegetables".

And then I think about the fact that, basically, I eat a lot of sandwiches anyway, so if I can fancy them up and occasionally impress people with them, that is all to the good.




ETA - Okay, I've now properly tasted the pie filling, rather than just smelling it.

You guys. You should make the Honeyed Chicken Pies.

Oh, how I want to try the yummy things!!! Brilliant! :D

I can totally recommend the pudding. I have not sampled the pies yet, but the filling smells pretty great.

You can make empanadas? Share the recipe? :) Where do you get those crust thingies?

[darchildre]

I have made two kinds of empanadas: chicken empanadas and bacon jam empanadas. They are both excellent. Also, I highly recommend just making the bacon jam, even if you don't make the empanadas. It takes a goodly time to make but, oh goodness, it is worth it.

Crust thingies?

[zhelana]

Don't empanadas go in crust thingies? Like folded over?

[darchildre]

Oh! Yes, emapanadas do go in a crust. I make my own - both the recipes I linked to have the crust included.

Ah, thanks! :)
