Things In The Freezer That Must Be Gotten Rid Of

Problem: Freezer contains ancient coconut from days of yore. Plus, bought too many eggs for holiday baking spree.



Solution: Coconut cream pie.


Problem: Coconut cream pie is traditionally topped with meringue. Dirtbunny cannot face meringue today and it's supposed to rain, not that you would know it from looking at the sky.


Solution: Leave off the goddamn meringue. There's no law against it.


Problem: What'll I do with the egg whites?


Solution: Scrambled eggs for breakfast.


Problem: But plain scrambled egg whites are rubbery and gross.


Solution: Scrambled egg whites with a whole egg and some cheese.


Moral: It always comes down to cheese. Never run out.



The End.

What Dirtbunny Did with the Leftover Chicken

Why, she made The Man's favorite: Chicken Pot Pie. At least that's what we call it around here.


First, you chop an onion and some carrots and celery and at least half a pound of mushrooms, but the more the better. Saute it all up in some butter or olive oil. While the veg are cooking, make a bechamel (butter and flour in a roux, whisk in chicken broth and cook until thickened) enriched with whatever dairy product you have. I would ordinarily use milk, but I have cream leftover from all the baking, so I used some of that. By now, your veg are done so add your cut-up leftover chicken to that and season well.


Now go make a big biscuit, which we've been over before.

Mix your meat, veg, and sauce together, put it in the patented pan, and put the big biscuit on top of that. Bake until the biscuit is done and the sauce is bubbly.
