What I Learned Last Year

  1. If you lower your rates to accommodate someones budget they won’t appreciate you, they will devalue you. You’ll automatically be a bargain item, you’ll be on sale and worth less to them.
  2. I learned how to brew on a commercial brewing system. My main life lesson takeaways were: listen to the guy who went before you, trust your gut, take great notes.
  3. If someone tells you they are an asshole, believe them the first time. They will inevitably prove it to you and you’ll be on the losing end of that lesson. If you’re a person who dates the bad boy or the bitchy girl, figure out how to break that. It’s worth it.
  4. Broken down cardboard boxes make better drop cloths than those thin plastic sheets from Home Depot. Also, painting sucks and I hate it. But I’ll do it again, probably within the next six months.
  5. There are "have stuff" people and there are "do stuff" people. You’ll inevitably prioritize one over the other, general budgeting requires it. I’m a "do stuff person," the new couch can wait when there is a passport that needs stamping.
  6. Immersion blenders fix broken sauces. I’ve known this about cheese sauce, but I’ve also found that when you’re trying to bourbon up a chocolate sauce and it seizes, the stick blender can turn it back into velvet.Mushroom Stout Skillet Chicken Pot Pie (with vegan option).

  7. I love Galaxy and Mosaic hops the most. Especially with fresh hop beers. Don’t get mad, hops aren’t children, you’re allowed to have favorites.
  8. If you’re not happy now, you never will be. Circumstance doesn’t make you happy, it’s a choice. Feed the right wolf, the wrong one will eat you alive.
  9. Making bread from scratch is worth it, making sausage from scratch isn’t. Just buy the sausage, it’s an art that takes years to perfect. Make bread from scratch at least once a month, the smell alone is worth it.
  10. Michael Pollan was right: plant food is the best food. "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." —Michael Pollan. Although I’ll always eat meat and dairy, I find myself eating more and more vegan food and loving it. I seek it out, and eat plants with more frequency than ever before. Plants are amazing.

There’s nothing like a pot pie on a cozy weeknight! This looks like the perfect thing to get through the Wednesday slump. I want to be eating it right now!

This recipe looks amazing and the ingredients intrigue me. The broth looks very thin for a pot pie…almost like a French onion soup broth. I assume this by your choice. I might try to thicken my broth up a bit but will definitely try this soon.

It’s thicker than it looks, with a 1/4 cup flour it will thicken up just fine. if you’re worry about it use just 1/3 cup of each liquid and add a bit more before the puff pastry to thin if needed.

I bet this would also be tasty topped with mashed potatoes to make it more of a shepherds pie.

Just made the veg version (in South Africa) – was divine! Have a pic, wish I could post it here 🙂 made it with Ninja cookie cutters to decorate the pastry. Added a lot more liquid to get the consistency I wanted (as I doubled the veg). Really top recipe!
