A Good Idea- A Fine Mess
As I was not feeling too good with this chest infection I didnt feel like much to eat, so decided to make Bacon & egg pie.What could be easier, ready to mix pastry, just add water, but I couldnt find my rolling pin [ havent used it for ages], so I was forced to use my Mums glass rolling pin [ wedding present in 1916 ] decied to part bake the base but as I got it out of the oven the plate broke in my hands [ obviously not oven proof],plate & pastry all over the floor, so had to clear up & start again, it turned out OK but I was so tired by then I didnt feel like eating much, so half is in the fridge for tomorrow

Deylon, Over Christmas, I have had the same ailment as you, so l can commiserate!Food tasted Yackitty Yuk to me and all I wanted was slushy stuff ie. tins of raspberries, jelly and ice cream and soft fruit etc.
I also found that everything l cooked was a disaster! Then, I rememember my mother in law’s words, ‘ Never cook when you’re ill as it will be a disaster’!
So true!

I believe when you die if you go to heaven you can have bacon, fried eggs, sausages, mushrooms, black pudding and fried bread every day for breakfast and you don't get fat

Tarlet, easy peasy, ,,Chop up some uncooked bacon 2/3 rashers [ can use old cold if wished ] mix with raw egg, Have ready a pastry base [ I like to part cook mine a little 1st but not needed] on a plate [ depends on how much bacon & egg you use , I had 3 bacon rashers = 1 egg & used a dining plate ] add bacon & egg mix, top with rest of rolled out pastry, press round the edges to stop liquid running out & pop in oven till golden brown, hey presto ready to eat, Sorry cant say how much pastry , as said mine was from a packet , just add water ,so I just used more & more untill I felt I had enough to cover my plate, a few bits of pastry over will go to birds tomorrow03-01-2018, 10:12 PM
