As my daughter would say - ikr! (I know right)

I noticed pie making on another thread, can you tell me how you make yours as I've never made them but think my family would like them.

Basically if you have any leftovers from a meal you can turn it into a pie.

Whether it be a few veggies and a bit of meat from a roast, chilli, casseroles n stews, even CURRY can be turned into a pie.

Just make a quick pastry with 8oz plain flour and 4oz fat (margarine, butter or suet will do) and a bit of water to turn into a pastry dough.

Use an old dinner plate if you haven't got a pie dish and use half rolled for the bottom of the dish, fill with leftovers, milk around the edge of the pastry and then top with the other half of the rolled pastry. (Save the pie trimmings and shape em into leaves for a decoration on the top or turn em into a few jam tarts). Brush the top with egg or milk to give a golden crust and away you go!
(Edit: poke a couple of holes in the top with a sharp knife so that steam can be released otherwise your pastry seams can come undone!)

You could also just put your leftovers in a casserole dish and top with pastry instead.

Or you could put your leftovers in a dish and coat with a cheesy breadcrumb topping too (save the ends of bread that go stale. Grate em. Pop em in a bag in the freezer till you need em. Use straight from the freezer and mix with grated cheese n seasoning to do a crust for a leftovers dish!)

I am not tec savvy but have you gone to start and typed AOL in search it may bring it up.

Thanks, I'm not at their house now, but I'll try that. When you search I see it brings up programmes and files, I'm guessing it would be under files somewhere?

I could ask this in the tech forum, but just thought someone might know. I'm helping my mum and dad back up stuff on their old computer, to put on the new one.
I've backed up all of 'My Documents' onto a memory stick, but i'm having a problem with the files where their saved AOL email is.

They have their AOL email saved somewhere on the hard disc, but I can't find it! Anyone know where I should be looking. As you can tell I'm not the best at this stuff!

Im no expert when it comes to AOL ....uck :doh:

But the below should help you out

I always start looking for things by typing in search.
Just a thought if its their AOL email wouldnt the emails still be there on new pc when they log into email account ?

better than uncooked

Agree! (I love good black pudding in small doses.) I'd rather eat black pudding than a rare steak with all that blood oozing out.

On a technical note though I think that the "blood" from meat is actually
myoglobin. Doesn't make it any more appetising for me though:rotfl:

Just catching up in small doses. Hope to post later but nothing of any great significance. Must go now, dinger has just gone on cooker:)

That's the way I did my AOL. But Aol gives 2 options, 'save on aol' or 'save to computer' and my mum picked the 2nd!

Thanks for the help though, I will give the search a go

You are quite right...it is myoglobin, a protein that gives meat its red colour. That's my biology coming back to me after 20+ years...:rotfl::rotfl:

Aaaahhhhh they look so cute:)

Totally O/T now, but just back from the doctors, booked in for steroid next week for my elbow but it's been getting me down and I can't sleep with the pain so the doctor has prescribed one 25mg amitriptyline tablet everynight to see if it will get me through the night. We had a bit of a "discussion" about them because I always thought they were anti depressants and I'm not depressed, but he said no in low doses they are good as a muscle relaxant and should help me sleep.Has anyone else ever used then for this, I hate taking tablets:(

For what it's worth, Nikki, I was prescribed Amitriptyline about 2 years ago for a chronic facial pain I was getting (like Sinus pain combined with toothache sort of thing), which the Docs couldn't attribute to anything specific (in fact they described it as "atypical facial pain" in the end).
I don't like taking tablets unnecessarily either (especially after having chemo 11 years for breast cancer).
Like you, I was very dubious, considering this is an anti depressant, and I didn't consider myself depressed, just in pain.
I can honestly say that I find it helps to suppress the pain, as long as I take it regularly (I certainly notice the return of the pain if I forget to take it for more than a couple of days).
I'm on 10mg per day, or 20mg if it's bad.
HTH
By the way, brilliant job in getting HC back.
