Who ate the pies !

Our latest kitchen "gadget" arrived today - a pie maker.  I didn't know such things existed until a month ago much less that I wanted one. 

Overall I am quite pleased with my first attempt - it was not perfect but not bad considering it was also my first time making pastry (late to that party - I know !) as well us using the piemaker.  For the record the filling was a puy lentil mix with red pepper and chorizo. 

The morning I went over to Aberfeldy with a fellow learner for their second Gaelic Cafe. The topic for the talk part was Gaelic Placenames in Perthshire and the speaker was a local farmer (originally from Skye). It was very good - SB had put a lot of thought into her talk and I learnt lots. 

Coincidently it was the same farmer who spoked to us when we visited Glen Fincastle  a week or so ago. 

I then spent some time in the garden. 

The final episodes of The Newsroom beckon.  It is very good and although nearly 10 years old still feels relevant - I don't know why we didn't watch it when it was first on. 

It has been a good day and a fairly typical Saturday  but the awareness that there are no such days for people in Ukraine was never far away as the news continues to get grimmer.
