Bridies!
Posted by Lanea on Thursday, November 3rd, 2005
So . . . Bridies for Samhain. Samhain is a Pie Holiday after all. Practically a campaign slogan, right? Not that I’m running for anything. Nor am I volunteering for anything. I’m like an anti-volunteer over here, trying to shuck tasks as quickly as possible. Anyway, we’re leaving for Samhain tomorrow and . . .
I can’t find any puff pastry. Craptastic. I love all y’all, but I don’t know if I have the strempts to make four pounds of puff pastry by hand tonight. Anyone know if there’s a puff pastry fairy I can call on?
Yay! Cancel all that scaredy-talk up there. The Safeway had puff pastry, so, um, Safeway must have employed the Pastry Fairy sometime between last night and this afternoon. Isn’t that good to know! I may have gone a little overboard, but it was like finding gold. Six pounds of gold, to be exact. Now with the math:
six pounds of pastry
six pounds of beef
four medium (pronounced meee-jum, of course) onions
secret herbs and spices
real gosh darn seasalt from Anglesey
Lanea’s Bridie fu (as yet unmeasurable by Science)
+ three hours of hard labor (divided by good new stove and silpats)

Friends. That is a record. And look at them:
Those aren’t even the prettiest–they were just first out of the oven.
I could claim that my friends like me because I’m nice, or because I am witty. But looking at my kitchen right now, I’m convinced it’s the Bridies. Mountains of lovely Bridies. And I think I’m ok with that. I mean, I’d date me for the Bridies, especially if I brought me some HP sauce to have with the Bridies. Add some Fraoch Heather Ale and I might even marry myself.

Nannyfodderon 04 Nov 2005 at 12:15 pm 4I like you cause you’re really cool, and well, those Bridies do look really yum…., and I finally listened to you and ordered my Tinsmith music and got it today.
So, I think you’re up on all counts. But those bridies do look pretty good. But I can’t help wanting to prounounce them like BRIDEIES. I know that’s wrong. They should have fancy lace dresses on them and then we should eat them.
nanny – Don’t mind me – I’ve lost my mind today.
