I just finished my very first aqua step class. I made it thru all 60 minutes and the other ladies in the pool with me were moaning about how they couldn't do it. And they all quit before the 3/4 point of the class. I'm happy to say I made it to the end (and 1/3 of the way thru another class). At about that time the common sense kicked in, LOL. She's BAAAAAAAAACK!
Now tomorrow I'm sure she'll be stiff, but tonight she'll sleep well. |
Hooray, Jeanne! Maybe it's time to take down my portfolio from that period.

Ooh Deb, a tourtiere is heaven...
The recipe varies quite a bit due to regional differences but at its most basic it's a meat pie made with ground pork and ground beef (I sometime substitute ground venison or ground turkey for the beef), cooked up together with onion, sage, celery, cloves (just a tiny bit)...then either put between two pastry shells and baked.
Or, if you're fancy like me :-p you also make up mashed potatoes, drain off the fat etc from the meat mixture, smash everything all in together, THEN put it in the pastry shells and bake...oh yummy yummy yummy...
I don't know exactly where tourtiere originated but I think the Quebecois, who had their work cut out for them surviving in La Belle Province, invented it a few hundred years ago. Seasonal favourite. Very filling.
Edit: LOLling at Peter's take on tourtiere...that was a torturous stretch!
And new bf is French Canadian and no slouch in the kitchen either, he once apprenticed to a baker for several years so he knows how to make all kinds of divine desserts...ooh la la! ;-)

I need a further translation - is ground beef what we English would call mince? |

I don't know because we don't call it mince. In fact, mincemeat isn't even meat. Let's compromise and call it "beating your meat" |

| Yes, mincemeat in Britain is a sort of preserved dried fruit dried fruit that is used to make mince pies for Christmas. Mince on the other hand is raw meat that has been pressed through a 'mincing' machine - mince beef is a staple of the British diet and is used for recipes such as Cottage Pie, lasagne, chilli con carne, spag bol, etc. |

| I think ground beef is what happens when lazy Americans chop the legs of their cows so they don't have to run around lassoing them any more. |

And I always thought Pasties were the tassle things that talented women could make one rotate one way and the other the opposite way at the same time...

Oh yeah. Sure. They do that. (Give me a couple of rounds on the tourtiere and I'll admit to anything.). |

tourtiere is similar to a Shepard's pie or cottage pie in a pastry shell.
ground beef = mince = hamburger

Erick! You lurking much? Say hello every once in a while. ;)
Between meat-beating, twirling pasties, and tortured cooking, TS is a very interesting place recently.
Jayson: have fun with your extension tube. It really does open up a whole new world.
Jeb: yippee! You gotta remember these ups when the downs hit.
Susan: a new bf? Didn't take long! :) See my comment above about ups 'n' downs.
