Sorry Becka. I am not a "fan" of either team, but my brother is a die hard Tigers fan. I'm rooting for them for him.

DH is getting ready to take DS to the doctor. Hopefully we will get a good report. DH said his eyes look clear now and DS has not been complaining. Maybe it was just allergies? I know we all suffer from them. I told DH that if it is allergies that he needs to get a note we can give the daycare so they will let him back in class.

The rain here is finally starting to let up. It was pouring this morning. It has been dreary for days. I am ready for a little sun. Dinner for tonight is already in the crockpot. I made my crockpot soup and it sounds wonderful right now. It is nice to know that dinner is already taken care of when I get home.

If DS really does not have pinkeye then our St. Louis Zoo trip will still be on. Right now they are calling for 61 degrees and party sunny. It should be nice. They have “Boo at the Zoo” so we are taking the kids’ costumes with them and they can do a little ToT’ing while we see the animals.

Sunday we are going to stay home, carve pumpkins and make pumpkin pie. It sounds like it should be a nice weekend for all of this. I hope the kids are healthy and will behave.

On my lunch break I changed my display on my computer to be a picture of the ship from CC. I tried to pretend that I was sitting in a lounge chair eating my tuna salad and apple. I am pathetic. How I wished I was eating at Cookies instead.... Of course it is only 41 more days until we leave for vacation and only 43 days until we sail!

Becka, I know you are stressed, but.......how many posts should this have been broken up into?

Here it is folks, direct from the "Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook"

Chicken Pot Pie
4 to 5 lb. chicken, disjointed
4 or 5 large potatotes, whashed, pared, and cut in thick slices
3 large onions, cut in 1/2 inch slices
Salt
Pepper
Pastry (recipe below)
Water

Place a layer of chicken in the bottom of a large heavy kettle, cover with a layer of potatoes and then with slices of onion; season with a mixture of salt and pepper. Roll pastry out rather thick (about 1/4 in.) and cut into 2 in. squares; place on top of onions. COntinue layers ending with a layer of pastry squares on top. Add water to cover contents halfway; cover kettle tightly and cook over high heat just until boiling. REduce heat to low and cook until chicken is tender, 1/12 to 2 hours. 8 to 10 servings.

Pastry:
3 cups sifted flour
1 teasponn salt
1 cup lard or other shortening
5 tablespoons cold water

Mix with fork and roll out on floured surface and cut into squares.

I have not tried this in a crock pot but will this weekend. Last weekend I wimped out and baked one of those frozen imitation potpies with a pie crust on top. Good, but not pot pie.

It is cold and rainy here and we need some good comfort food.

Well, good grief! This looks like it has layers of crust all the way thru it?!!

Just wanted everyone to know that's it's getting harder to meet my goal of no heat until Nov 1....

I'm sitting her drinking tea in a sweater covered by a sweatshirt and I'm going for a blanket...
