    I've only just realised that a real time cooking challenge was underway on the board! Both pies look fab, but MBE I would have to make yours as my boyfriend would eat most of that on his own :eek:

    It's also making me hungry, luckily I have a lovely joint of beef roasting and just added my roast potatoes to my goose fat :)
  • Didn't seemed to be fully cooked, but looks fine now. Almost forgot to take it out. :o

    Yes, it looks great! Don't hesitate to use a timer (alarm clock?) if you are prone to forgetting. I've got one built into my oven, and use it all the time - I set things on to cook, wander away and post on MSE, then get interrupted by the 'beep'.

    Tigs - your cat looks just like mine! And mine is on my lap atm watching the thread with interest :)

    Thanks for sharing the pics, it's like watching it on TV!

    btw, beautiful ginger cat! Did you know that ginger girls are very rare? I waited ages for one, then gave up and got a ginger boy.

    Oh Thanks, yes I know they are rare, makes her even more special. She is one in a million :A She is also very old, 18 1/2 to be precise!

    Right, back to business...

    My pie case also looked a bit dodgy so I took the beans out and shoved it back in for a few minutes.

    Roasties in the oven, they are definitely going to be ready too soon...

    QUESTION ALERT

    In a previous post JM said to brush the top with milk and egg... Do I mix the two together or brush on seperately???

    What temperature should the oven be when the pie finally goes in, and what can I do with about three-more pies-worth of extra filling? :o Will it freeze?
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.
  • 1. Mix them together.

    2. 150-175C. Yes, the filling should freeze - the leeks might not be quite as nice (I wouldn't freeze them by themselves) but they should be fine as part of a defrosted melange.
