Tonight I justed wanted a chicken pot pie, quick and dirty. As I happened to have the remains of a chicken roast in the fridge, I fried up an onion, added a lot of chopped carrots, and then added a can of Campbell’s cream of potato soup and all the chicken diced. I put that all in a casserole and topped it with the kind of flakey biscuits that come in a tube. The whole thing was done in 40 minutes. And boy was it good.
Bella said it was the best chicken pot pie I had ever made.
Then she said, “and it’s healthy too, right Mom?”
When she saw me hesitate she said, “Just say it’s healthy quick, quick!”
I love that she still believes that if I say something that it makes it true.

I hear that excellent tasting chicken pot pies vacuum pack really well. I think you know my address.

What is up with you and vacuum packing?
Do you even know anybody with a vacuum packing machine?
Come out here and I will make it for you (first night’s dinner! wait no – first we have to have roasted chicken – the second night is chicken pot pie, third night is matzah ball soup. You’ll have to tell me what part of the chicken cycle you want to get in on.)
The chicken was especially delicious because I roasted it with the cloves of two whole bulbs of garlic tucked under the skin. Bella and I love roasted garlic.
