Six Hundred Calories But Who Cares

Tasty chicken potpie with flaky crust
Thick gravy oozing out holes on the top
Big chunks of firm chicken always a must
Potatoes, carrots, peas that never stop
A comfort  food that makes my tummy bust
Greatest eating to the very last crusty drop

I burned one of hers last week and I am still irritated with myself. My microwave gets way too high too fast!

I love chicken pot pie, Karen, and often make my own with a flaky butter crust or, better still, puff pastry! It's also great poured over freshly baked biscuits! Thanks for reading my Pew poem. Not every churchgoer showers beforehand. / M

I know that's right; and I imagine the pews are terribly tired of the ones who dunk in perfume baths before sitting on them.

when my hubbie used to love eating these, I remember I'd take out a lot of the stuff and just eat the gravy and potatoes with the crust. I am not a big fan of chicken meat in my food. I only like it fried like KFC or something! But wow, the crust on these things is amazing!! Love this tasty poem.

I love the crust; for me it is all about the crust. I am shocked that I have not tried sugar and cinnamon on it yet.

The chicken and crust fills you up; the gravy makes your tongue slap your liver out; potatoes are hearty, carrots keep your eyes and skin healthy and peas ensure that you'll visit that lonely toilet during the holidays and in-between fun. Good one.

I have to tell you, I had one right after re-reading this for errors, M.L. I advise everyone to have one!
