  1. My prep time was a little longer since I had no left over turkey so I cooked some chicken breasts while the carrots simmered. The mixture (which tasted delicious) thickened but was not thick enough. I assumed it would thicken more in the oven but instead it got soupier. Next time I'll add a little more flour and make sure it is good and thick before turning into the casserole dish. The crust was fantastic, Nice & flakey on top and oh, such good flavor. Made for Fall 2008 PAC-O

<p>I'm currently the manager of a jazz lounge / supper club. I have been married for a little over 12 years. My husband is a blacksmith, yup a real blacksmith. I still enjoy watching him work. Although we live on the outskirts of the city , I would love to move a little further into the country. One day I hope to open a bed and breakfast or a small tea shop...well I can dream about it.<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></p>
