Sometimes it comes together great as in the Turkey and Ham Pie I made on Boxing Day.

And at other times it's more of a challenge.
Yesterday was one of those 'Other Times' :(
It's basically a full pie with a pizza type filling. Well my filling was wonderful, (a mixture of ground bacon, ground pork, cheese, green onion and seasoning) but my pastry was being very uncooperative yesterday. It wouldn't roll out without splitting :( I added extra moisture when I needed too, and added extra flour when I needed too but it still was a challenge.
I eventually baked the pie and it came out looking like this.
It really was a real pain to make, though the spring form pan definitely helped.
I do have to say that the smell of it baking was wonderful and made the kitchen feel all nice and cosy, and it sliced beautifully.
The cold leftovers are supposed to be delicious too - I'll find out today.
I'm not sure if it was worth the level of labor intensiveness, maybe if I keep practicing my pastry it will get easier :)

So what did you learn about being a domestic goddess? The pie looks very good... and I love when food makes the kitchen smell cozy!
It really is an awesome cookbook! The secondary title is 'Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking'.
I think that says it all right there :) Lot's of yummy food to make the kitchen smell cosy.
The cupcakes are particularly delicious from the Domestic Goddess book!
