I've been out of dinner-making action for a while. A combination of injuries received, work and travel commitment and laziness. I have made one or two meals, but repetitions of things I've posted before.
Tonight I tried something I've never done before. For many of you, this may be routine or, at least not unusual. But a whole new departure for me.
I started with something in my comfort zone. A plate of salmon sashimi. This time with sea salt and lemon juice as a change from the usual soy-wasabi route.
Then into enemy territory.
A pie. A chicken, leek and mushroom pie. Something I always enjoy but have never made.
With boiled new potatoes.
I was happy with how it looked, but to show you the filling in the interior (and to eat it), I had to mess the pie up.
It wasn't perfect and I can think of many improvements to the filling for next time, but I was reasonably happy with my first venture. And so was my stomach.
