Outdoor:  70F

Indoor : 72F

Oven : 400F

Chicken pie: 200 F

Chicken pot pie: 

for chicken: chicken thigh, pan fried

for pie filling:  roux, milk, chicken broth

                    cubed  chicken, 

                    pearl, onion, parsnip, carrot, pea, mushroom,thyme , shrimp(optional)

Biscuit crust:

It's supposed to use butter and vegetable shortening together but I don't have shortening, using bacon grease instead

*Butter has to be cubed ahead, chilled

* never overdo your dough if you want it to be flaky

Still very new to making pastry dough,  a long way to be perfect

--------who hasn't taken his piece of pie?

gaogao: me, me!!!

It's not origin from me( I am not that creative), 

http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/03/peeps-recipes-how-to-make-peepshi-sushi-rice-krispies-treats-easter.html?ref=brkbox

But I made wasabi from green peeps( this is invented by me), and I made Rice Crispy treats from Rice Crispy , so that it was easier for me to shape the 'sushi rice'
