Mom's Chicken Pot Pie

Tonight I made my mom's chicken pot pie. I think a wonderful introductory meal.

To start, I didn't have a couple ingredients so I improvised a bit. In lieu of the missing celery I used a little ground celery seed and not having parsley, I used some Italian seasoning. There's parsley in that, so not a bad substitution at all. Despite this being one of my favorites growing up, it's the first time I have made it for Kirk and I. Thankfully, despite shoddy ingredient gathering, it was quite delicious. I can confidently say it is destined to become part of my dinner repertoire.

While we ate, we watched some Cooking Channel and, conveniently enough, we saw a recipe for curried chicken pot pie. A beautiful mash up of both our cultures. I will have to give that a go one day. First though, I'm pretty sure I will have to make the original a few more times, focusing on having all the ingredients, before making the leap into adventurous land.
