  Streamie, your pot pie, is the filling very thick? If I'm not wrong, they use cream of mushroom for the filling. But never mind, do like the Japanese, if you eat too much today, cut back tomorrow.

  i think i say that EVERYDAY
  
  hmm...........filling ah? hmm....the pastry more than filling leh. although turkey pot pie but i didn't get that many meat pieces.
  
  hey, i was thinking of going western for my christmas dinner but each time, i back out and do something asian. i've got thai, japanese, s'pore but dare not try western. the only think i know is quiche. i wanted to make chicken pot pie but the last time i did it, wah lau, sucks real bad.
  
  have you thrown a party and serve western before?

  always eat already regret. maybe i should walk over to jetta's thread about regrets...........i have a few.........wah, sounds like who's song ley?
  
  but hey, how come no soup to go with yoru sandwich? and wow! only $2.22. cheap cheap.

  Yah, no kidding on the calories in the pot pies. I bought some microwaveable chicken pot pies a few months back when they were on sale at the supermarket, and recall being shocked by the fat content and calorie count of a single pot pie.
  
  Nope, no soup today. My stock of New England clam chowder has been depleted. I'll need to drop by Sam's Club to pick up another ten-pack of it soon.

  Watch out for the sodium content too. If you're inclined to make your own, I have a great pastry recipe.
  
  Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, you can make your own with some phyllo pastry and your own cocoction for the filling.

  I'm thinking of giving Costco up too. We have a tendency to overspend while there. These days, whenever we go, we never take a cart into the store. We just go in, get what we want. If we can't carry it, we're not buying it.

  huh? izzit? i find making asian food easier leh. i think 'cos my friends are good with western food eh, so got pressure.
  
  i don't know how to make good pasta. my friend do a fantastic seafood angel's hair pasta. i love it but i don't know how. and another do her pot pie, her quiche, her roast. all these eh, i got tons of recipes from canadian living but i am clueless. i don't know how to roast.
  
  sometimes i feel like cheating and just get it from the supermarket and stuff them into the oven

  Yah, it's the flaky kind. You can use this to make curry puffs, etc. I like to use this to make fruit cups. Cut them down to size to line a mini muffin pan and bake at 350F for about 10 mins or until golden brown. Then make a fruit cocktail and use that as your filling. Voila, fruit cups.
  
  Or you can use it as an appetizer. Instead of a fruit filling, make a shrimp cocktail for your filling.

  Accept graciously. Make them think you slave so hard for their dinner.
