Meal No. 4020: Cheddar Crust Chicken Pot Pie

Last Friday night was a mix of new and old at the dinner table, so for the four of us I put forward a selection that seemed suited to the drear and mist that had moved in on us: cheddar crust chicken pot pie. A long-time favorite here, but one which does not show up all that often, it's a comforting dish that seems to win some reasonable admiration from the friends who are here to feast. I added in roasted garlic whole green beans but they were overshadowed by the main feature, I think.

That forecast got me up and moving earlier in the day, knocking out a 4.33-mile stroll at the surprisingly aggressive pace of 13m45s per mile. I mean: I try to keep it under 16m/mile but am happy if it's under 15m/mile. So I guess you can tell I jogged some of it, and boy was I drenched with sweat once I returned. Still: for January, I'll take it.
