I just edited to add “It still looks pretty good, even with the store-bought Pillsbury pie crust.” 
Forgot that earlier. I couldn’t be arsed (as @Harters always says) to make a pie crust. Plus I didn’t start prep until about 2:30, so no time either. But it tastes good!

@LindaWhit That’s a GORGEOUS pie! I adore Pillsbury crusts. I used to be known for my pie crust. Now I’m known for turning out a pie on short order. Well worth the trade off.

That’s nice and balanced meal.
Is the pillow the border of your half of the couch? “Mine” is dictator!

Last night the FIL grilled burgers, served on buttered, toasted buns with spicy roasted cauliflower. The night before we had a crock pot beef roast with leftover Thanksgiving sides and bacon-braised green beans.
Tonight his famous prime rib is promised.

nothing wrong with pillsbury pie crust! I am too lazy and off course never learned to make pie crust except when Bill was around( DH) as he had gluten enteropathy! So, my crust were usually nut crust and nowadays for special occasion otherwise it is store bought crust including pillsbury and that wonderful flaky puff pastry shell!!
at the end, all that matters is it taste good and looks good!

That’s actually a pull out bed in my 2nd BR, and usually the pillows are appropriately placed. But when kitty butts get up there, they get scrunched over to one side.

Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. Honoring those we love with food is such a good way to keep them in our lives. Wishing peace and comfort to you and your family- you will all be in my thoughts,

Agree with @LindaWhit, @pilgrim and @ccj about the quality of Pillsbury crusts; I used to use them all the time, and even just a few years ago when H made the pastry and had a big fail, we had to make an ER store run for them. Really excellent product!

Oh, thanks so much, HungryAllTheTime. Sorry for the delayed response…we were away for the holiday. I’ll give these a try soon. I also have the 6-quart, so I’ll cut them in half.

Lovely bread!
This weekend I made my first puff pastry - pâte feuilletée inversée. A failure, I used husband’s 00 Italian pizza flour, the butter I used wasn’t right too, not dry enough, I believe. I did a test batch, it tasted more like bread soaked with melted butter apart than something light and puffy. I still tried to understand what was wrong! Ugh!

Don’t give up @naf, it’s very gratifying when you nail it. A for effort, in any case.

Thanks for the encouragement, I will try a more classic recipe first than the new hot chef’s funky recipe, which was my case. LOL
