I also like a vegetarian Mince Meat pie, but we never have it in the house. Before we met, my husband was served bad venison mincemeat by one of his uncle's wife's relatives and got really sick. (Serves them right for eating Bambi!) So just the though of Mincemeat makes his stomache churn.Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-50876328532431561072011-12-24T17:42:02.348+00:002011-12-24T17:42:02.348+00:00Shelley : It came 20 minutes ago!

They have let so many people down this year, they are having a PR meltdown, the thing I really wanted was the goose as they have to be ordered 6 to 8 weeks before around here and I wouldn't have been able to source one, but now we have two, a goose and chestnut pie, King George Christmas pud and a glut of other stuff. We won't be able to move come Tuesday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-36245885103646986532011-12-24T17:36:25.753+00:002011-12-24T17:36:25.753+00:00Tabitha - Will be hunting around for that Dickens ...Tabitha - Will be hunting around for that Dickens pie recipe!<br /><br />S.Princess - I had to go look up the different between short and puff pastry, I'm so not into sweet food. That said, I love any combination of fat and flour, so I can't say I have a favourite. Both are lovely. I can't eat many minced pies, thats for sure. One is enough for me, but one a day is OK too.<br /><br />Rick - I have to say that a lot of tears went into putting that tree up. I miss my Mom something rotten this time of year and all her ornaments seem to give as much sadness as they do pleasure. Of course I have nearly a dozen ornaments that Joanne made and those brought more tears. I'm honestly thinking about changing the decor on my Christmas tree for a couple of years, just to give it a rest. I'd honestly be surprised if you ever put up a Christmas tree again, for as long as you are on your own. I doubt I would bother except for other people coming over to see it. We'll be thinking of you.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-52630077178199252822011-12-24T16:38:11.292+00:002011-12-24T16:38:11.292+00:00My mother used to make mince meat pies but they we...My mother used to make mince meat pies but they were made in full size pie pans. AND, they had no meat in them either. Can't say I ever liked them myself. Of course, she also made apple pies which probably kept me from seeing any other ones there.<br /><br />Your tree looks nice. Did not even get our decorations down from the attic this year. This was Jo's favorite time of year and she loved to decorate. Just could not get up for it this time.Rick Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771838562627660449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-55195037747786396372011-12-24T14:41:13.471+00:002011-12-24T14:41:13.471+00:00My dad makes hundreds of them every Christmas...ev...My dad makes hundreds of them every Christmas...everyone loves them...except me!
