I’ve been thinking about why Friday is my favorite since I’m no longer driving to an office 5 days a week and the only thing I can figure is that over the years my brain has been traumatized into thinking Friday is the best day. LoL!Ā Whatever the reason, I’ll continue with my Friday Favorites until I think of something better to do.
Last Saturday evening, the Book Club met to discuss our September read which was
Favorite # ONE

Favorite # THREE
Chicken Pot Pie
I used this recipe
Chicken Pot Pie
Ingredients
Ā¼ cup butter
1 small yellow onion (pureed)
ā
cup all-purpose flour
1Ā½ cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
Ā½ teaspoon kosher salt
Ā¼ teaspoon black pepper
Ā¼ teaspoon celery seed
4 cups cooked chicken diced into Ā½-inch pieces (I used rotisserie)
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
2 refrigerated pie crusts (store-bought)
Directions
Preheat oven to 425Ā°F. Place one pie crust in a deep pie plate or casserole dish. Prick with a fork and set aside.
In a large deep skillet, over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and celery and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in flour. Slowly stir in chicken broth and whisk to combine.
Add the milk and salt, pepper, and celery seed. Reduce heat and simmer over medium-low heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken and vegetables. Stir to mix throughout. Pour the mixture into the bottom pie crust. Top with remaining pie crust. Seal the edges and cut away any excess dough.
Brush the crust with an egg wash.Ā Make a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling hot and the crust is golden.

Early in September I placed an order at LOFT.Ā It was very unusual that it took LOFT two weeks to process the order and after processing LOFT shipped each item one at a time.Ā I finally received the last of it this week.
Favorite # FIVE
Final LOFT haul of the summer
I’m not sure how I ended up with an XL on this last item.Ā Its so big I can’t keep it up, but I’m too tired to send it back.Ā They irritated me.Ā I think I’m going to take a break from LOFT for awhile.Ā Less shopping, more reading.
