If you're going to cook your chicken pot pies at 425, like most people do, just watch that pie crust after about 30 minutes. In our household we enjoy all things nicely browned and golden. It is never worthwhile to just go ahead and eat your pie crust underbaked, besides being tasteless it's ugly. Nor does it make any sense to put your pies directly upon the rack, a baking sheet with edges will catch any bubble-overs, and when lined with foil, clean up couldn't BE any easier. I

It sorta reminds you of those people who won't cook because giving of your heart and soul to others is more painful, due to abandonment issues that began at birth, then continued afterwards. Or they just don't know how.

The type of non-cook who justifies stalking you and just about everyone they know ONLINE, because for some, too much closeness and actual relationships that require honesty and accountability, must be too hard. A dreamworld where OTHERS are always envious of you, and all you've accomplished, is preferable to bonding with nieces and nephews and admitting you were wrong.

 Very wrong for digging in garbage cans at work trying to find dirt on your peers, dirt on anyone who you feel superior to, hoarding dirt like it's going out of style and sharing mud pies with your technician who you fired. Obsessed, is how she referred to you.

Old friends of yours who don't buy it anymore, "it's been TOO long, we should get together" reunions are now answered behind YOUR back with... don't you find that as strange as WE do? I mean, it's not like she doesn't have our phone number. Yeah, me too.
