OH, the comfort of comfort food!!

reason for my absence THIS time:

So, for those of you who are NOT FB friends with me, 2 weeks ago today, I suffered a severe loss of vision in my right eye – skip the details (detached retina, surgery this past Monday – 3 days of lying facedown 24/7) and I’m back to blog!   and this time, for the first time ever, (drum roll please), I’m going to blog about someone ELSE’s food!’

why is this unusual?   until a month ago I’d not eaten anything that I hadn’t cooked myself since February!

as part of this whole scenario – my neighbor/friend Lisa took me to surgery, and then alerted the local gals that I needed to be fed (as I feed them normally 🙂 – have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE my neighborhood??)   and let’s not forget the awesome Kim, who stayed with me for 2 days so that I COULD lie face down and thus ensure the success of the surgery.

Lisa brought us bolo from our favorite venue Forno (see restaurant links) – which was SO awesome as it had been soooo long since I’d had it -(hence MAKING it at home during COVID). But to the star of THIS blog – Marie ante’d in quickly with “I’ll bring ‘Rie’s famous chicken pot pie”.  How lucky for me that she was making this awesome sounding comfort food for her family and I was going to get a slice of it!.

Marie texted me mid afternoon Wednesday and asked if she can drop off said dinner gift.   hmmmm? She shows up at my door with – you guessed it – a WHOLE unbaked Chicken Pot Pie!. (telling me it was CPP for the SOUL!) no potatoes, just creamy chicken and veggies in an awesome looking crust.

Fast forward an hour + later, after I bake and have a slice – a) I’m not sure I’ve ever had HOMEMADE chicken pot pie (and yes, my friends make fun of me for verbal bullets, b) this is by far the BEST CPP I’ve ever tasted in my life, and c) I didn’t realize how much I LIKED CPP – this is a new comfort food that I need in my life!   I’ve eaten it for breakfast every day since (is this more or less weird than soup?  – people eat quiche!).  I’m not sure if she will share recipe (I will ask) but if not, I will duplicate as closely as possible for us and share!
