More pie for the freezer.
I used about half of the mushrooms that were part of today's vegetable delivery.
For the rest, it's a basic pastry dough (I still had in the fridge) and a roux type filling, with egg yolks, cheese, chicken and those mushrooms.
The leftover filling is already in the freezer and will be enough for a next medium-size pie.

The almond pie I baked earlier* had cooled off enough to cut and then freeze the slices individually.
They are all for giving away, since I don't really like sweets. These recipes are just too much fun to resist and there are always enough other people who do love sweet pastries.

Yesterday I made sweet pastry dough. Today I made almond cream, rolled out the dough, filled a loose-bottomed tin with it and let that rest for 30 minutes in the fridge. (The almond cream had to rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.)
Then I filled the tin with the almond paste, and topped it with apple slices (from the freezer; apples from my garden) and fruit from my big jar of rum & fruit. 30 minutes in the oven and that was it.

Earlier I posted a few pics* of the ingredients that would make the pies I would then bake later in the day. Well, they have been baked now. The two big ones will go straight into the freezer; I'll have the small one tomorrow.
Also, the cat is happy I'm done kitchening - and I'm wearing my Graveyard Book T-shirt. (I am a huge Gaiman fan and that may be the best thing he ever wrote.)

Starting on more pies.

Pic1: the heart of the fillings*. Lots of different types of mushroom, leek, spring onion, sweet potato, bell pepper, rum-soaked fruit, posh bacon.

Pic2: ingredients for the crusts to be. Regular flour, salt, 1 egg, water & loads of butter.

Pic3: the fluid backbone of the filling(s). Butter, flour, 4 egg yolks, milk, cheese, nutmeg & pepper.

*I'm making enough for 3 medium large pies, with enough filling left for 2 dinners (with rice.)

More pie...!

(That's me done though, for a while; all the leftover fillings and pastry went into this one, including the last scraps of dough I turned into little cats. This one too will go straight into the freezer. Normally, I cut them in parts before freezing them individually on a tray but I will freeze this in one piece; it will be more fun to serve it to guests, or give it away, like that, with all the little cats still intact.)

That's me done in the kitchen for today. I ate two small pies. The rest are for the freezer.

For the pie-hards, the filling consisted of:
- a roux type sauce, with 4 egg yolks and lots of mustard
- oven roasted carrots (from the freezer)
- parboiled potatoes, which were then sautéed with leek and bacon
- rum-soaked dried fruit (I keep a big jar of r&f on a shelf.)
- freezer peas
+ Cheese on top for the big pie and two of the smaller ones.

This pie was meant to go straight into the freezer.
So:
- Reader, I ate some
Or:
- Resistance was futile
(depending on whether you prefer Brontë or The Borg.)

More pie!
The filling is some of yesterday's 'sauce' - and I made the pastry dough yesterday as well, knowing that I would have a lot of sauce left. I one-portion-bagged the rest of the sauce but decided I wanted to make one freezer pie too; and this is it.

Slight kitten envy....

The postmistress and her family have a new cat. It's a cute little thing.
(If I bake more pies for them like the one in the comments, perhaps they will let me play with the cat a bit more.)
