I was afraid that you might be too tired. I have been thinking of you. I have worked hard for the past few days getting ready for our luncheon today. It all went well. We had 45 ladies which is more than we expected but the weather cooperated and I was able to sit 12 at tables in the patio and sit 24 at tables in the house. The rest had to use their laps but they didn't seem to mind. I am tired but happy that it all went so well. We are rushing off to the temple now but I just wanted to drop by and see how you are doing.<br>I send love.

Hopefully you can sneak in a little nap here and there!<br><br>I love Liz Lemon Swindle, too--her work is just so warm and real...<br><br><br>My Roger is our bishop--going on six years in January--my how time flies! Keeps life busy, doesn't it?! Sounds like your program was just perfect last night...ours is next week.<br><br>And oh! That meat pie! Cannot wait to try this! I LOVE meat pies, but this recipe is quite different from things I've made before. Love your description of it. <br><br>I've never heard of anyone using lemon juice in their pastry crust--and since I trust Marie in all things culinary (as does my family...now anytime I'm cooking something new, they ask me if it's "a Marie"...and they know it will be amazing!)...I'm going to use your pastry recipe!<br><br>Sorry--once again my comments are just about as long as your post! Hope you're having a marvellous, busy day and enjoying this festive time. So much love sent to you today!Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14391141234861745875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-22861934563624394222009-12-10T12:43:58.807+00:002009-12-10T12:43:58.807+00:00The pie and the breakfast cake you featured today ...The pie and the breakfast cake you featured today both look so good.

So sorry your tooth is still plaguing you though... do hope the antibiotics help and you'll be feeling better soon. Hubby would love this Tortiere you have today. I've not made anything like this before. And at the moment menus have been very basic--so tired in the evening that dinner is often easy pasta or some such dishes...LOL! A busy weekend ahead for us too. Last bits before our trip the end of next week, and more family get-together. Hope we get a chance to chat early next week--miss you!

Ve...Hi Marie,<br><br>I really like the artist you featured. Very captivating images. Your Tortiere looks delcious! We have something similar when we go to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. They are called Pasties (Pah-stees). I have a feeling they originated from the Tortiere because they have the same ingredients wrapped in a crust. Except, yours looks more tasty and "authentic." Thanks for the recipe! I'll have to try my own hand at the Tortiere and surprise my hubby. :)<br><br>Blessings to you throughout your busy week!
