Oh Meredith, I thought I'd had you all straightened out on what Pot Pie really is. The PA Dutch version is NOT a pie. I don't know why they call it that, but it's more of a chicken and dumplings stew-ish thing. Once it's colder out, I'll have to make you a batch and mail it to you frozen so you can see what you're missing. My MIL's pot pie isn't so good. I don't know why on earth she thinks the dough has to have baking powder in it. True to form, Stef refused to eat it. But the last 2 times we made it, she just gobbled it right up. LOL - I won't tell MIL that though.
Speaking of MIL, she's driving me straight up the freaking wall again. She took a new job at Luthercare. It's more hours but less days - every other Sat & Sun I think rather than a few hrs every Fri, Sat, and Sunday. But she loves the residents at her old job at Lancashire and just can't bring herself to say NO when they call and ask her to fill in. Lancashire is a pit of a nursing home and has trouble paying it's bills. That's one reason why she left! Yet she complains that Luthercare is further away (an extra 4.5 miles). And Luthercare's residents are financially well off, much more so than Lancashire's, so she doesn't get to make friends with Luthercare's residents. She's thinking of going back to Lancashire. Then she's definately staying at Luthercare. Then she'll just help out at Lancashire here & there until the end of the year. Talk about a human flipflop (LOL Elisa). So now she's asking me if I can find babysitting coverage for her on all sorts of dates. My mom would be happy to do it, but we're getting into sick season again and she can't predict when she'll be sick. Time to call that one daycare back again that takes drop-ins. UGH! Just make a decision and stick with it woman!
And I swear if she brings up one more time about the amount of "junk food" Stef eats, I'm gonna flip out all over her face!
Ok - I feel better now.

Ah, I see, then why don't they call it chicken pot stew??? Mine's usually more of a casserole, cause a pie pan is just not big enough to contain my masterpiece :)
Maybe we should do a swap. Feel free to send any kind of frozen yummy food say, around the last week of February ;)
Oh, is that when Meredith is due? The end of February? I didn't know.
I can't believe you remember the human flip flop.
Does Stef really eat that much junk food? I'm very laid back now with Emma. She pretty much has anything she wants. I'm not as anal as I once was.
If it were me, I'd find a way to stay home with Stef myself or find a good daycare. Next year you can do preschool, so that would help with the cost. Around here 5 day a week church preschools are only $100 a month! But that's only 1/2 a day.
Can you send me the recipe for your Pot Pie Please - or just give me some direction with ingredients, I would love to try and make it!
Only pot pies I see here are the little dinky frozen guys made by McCain or w/e lol
