Chestnuts!

The other day whilst wandering around the dreaded supermarket I spyed a tin of chestnuts, decided to try them for the Christmas day pie, but used them in a veggie pie I made today. Must say it was delicious. Onions, carrots, mixed peppers, veggie sausage and chestnuts made up the filling with a little veggie stock, shortcrust pastry to hold it all together and the family enjoyed it along with roast potatoes, peas and onion gravy for dinner. Made a pastry apple for Bella but she declined to eat it and enjoyed her veggie burger. We usually have Italian food when they come for dinner so this pie made a nice change!
Very wet today out with Ruaridh in the woods got soaked, met Colin with Ziggy Ruaridh had a great play! back home got the dinner ready. Then did a stack of ironing before having a shower and washing my hair. Lunch, back for quick walk with the dog to the park before going to meet Miss B.
Bus up town, popped into Real Foods, then got Bella, walked along the meadows for the bus, what a dreich day.
Arrived home Bella fed Ruaridh who got very excited when we came in.
Graham and Joe arrived we had a cuppa then Layla arrived, Bella played and chatted, she is on the 'go' all the time these days. Had our pie dinner, family left great to have a dishwasher again dishes done sparkling!
Tired away to bed. Goodnight.
