The View Is Peaceful

One of my favourite things to do is go for long walks and bring my camera along the way! I find that in this busy digital world of constant contact with everyone, that somehow we are losing the art of reflection. Listening to God when He speaks softly, hearing Him tell us things that encourage us, challenge us, motivate us. We are so busy with the carrot before the horse, the proverbial destination of success that we lose the essence of what is so profound and deep. We lose our identity, our families and our peace along the way.
I heard a retired man at a coffee shop tell a group of retired people that one of the best memories he has in life wasn't his accomplishments with his money, his job, his accolades in various enterprises but rather when he was forced not to work for a period of a few weeks. He stated the following "I have to tell you, my wife and I had the best times ever, the best memories, the least amount of fighting during that time. We took the time to walk with each other, talk with each other about our dreams, our hopes and so much more." 
That was a powerful point and it's something worth remembering in this present digital jungle we live in...

Gluten Free Meat Pie

Well today was a first for me in baking a gluten free meat pie!

First off I found a fantastic recipe by Presidents Choice online
http://www.presidentschoice.ca/en_CA/recipes/recipeslisting/chicken-pot-pie.html
and followed the shopping ingredients almost to a T and then I went home and made sure I used all glass and metal bowls since my wife has celiacs disease and any plastic could be contaminated. I then simply prepped my glass table for baking and rolling out the dough and voila, things were a go.

I mixed all ingredients in their proper order and prepared the dough for rolling. The best advice was to put the dough in a ziplock bag and place it in the freezer for 20 min and boy did that help for rolling once I prepped the table with gf flower. I laid the dough on the table (with the powder) and needed it by hand (next time it’s with a new glass rolling pin, umm actually a wine bottle) then I took the slightly flattened dough and shaped the bottom part of the pie on the glass pie plate and filled it with my precooked lean pork and mixed veggies. When I filled the meat pie I added a pinch of sea salt to taste and then placed the top layer of dough on top and poked holes for the steam.

This time was just a run through and a taste test to see how well it would come out. My wife said it was the best!
