We're trying a new dinner tonight...

[WillParkinson]

One of my favorite dinners is pot pie. We're going to try something tonight that I'm hoping will work, but not 100% certain.

Paul makes his own pizza crusts. He's going to roll one out thin and try it as the bottom crust to the pizza. We're going to use Upton's Seitan and the gravy recipe I posted a while back, along with some veggies.

I'm excited.

Saying what we're all thinking. The tears running down my face from laughter aside, friend. *thumbsup*

10. That isn't what I was thinking...

Codeine was being much kinder than what I was thinking.

5. OK, so...

The experiment turned out OK. There were a few things that need adjusting.

1) Paul needs to read instructions. He baked it at too high a temperature, which caused it to be a tad well done.
2) The crust he made turned out good, but why he put seasonings in it I do not understand.

Overall, though, I liked it and would definitely eat it again.

7. i love pot pie. I wonder how you would make a flaky crust.

Was the crust flakey or more pizza calzone like?

12. I've found that putting a cookie sheet with edges on the shelf below helps.

Mostly it is to catch any spill over (rather than the bottom of the oven), but it also seems to help with avoiding burning pies. The bake time can be extended as a result of this trick, but not by enough to matter. It's a long process to begin with.

9. Would phyllo dough work?

I've used it for pizza crusts, rolled it out and it worked pretty well.

[WillParkinson]

13. A very good question!

We're going to give it a shot.

14. OMG...

Yes, it works fabulously! Thank you for the suggestion. It cut out a ton of fat and calories as well. We can each have half the pie for only 559 calories. I will post the recipe here in a while.
