Comfort Food

Tonight is a short and sweet posting due to the fact that I just spent the last three hours making a chicken pot pie and have over exerted myself. I am exhausted. It seems that being in my thirty sixth week has caused me to be very, very tired, especially as I work my last week of work.

Regardless, I chose to make a chicken pot pie ~ a dish that always warms my soul. There is something about creamy vegetables, chicken and mushrooms that blends with the flaky, herby crust that just fill you up in every way. Sometimes, when you've had a bad day and you are tired, a chicken pot pie will give you the lift you need.

I like to make my pot pie as a leftover meal. Sunday, we had a roasted chicken that was wonderful. This allowed me to use the leftover carcass as a base for the pie and now we still have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

So, I bid you good night as I sit here in a pot pie induced stupor that will only get better the second I go lie down in bed.
