Incredible! Jas. Hook

So I guess when you use bison, it's Frontier Pie? Frontier Pie... makes sense to me. ;) This might sound sacrilegious but... has anyone made a chicken pot pie with a potato topping??????? Jas. Hook

IMO leave it in the dish. I think that a lot of the eye appeal of the pie is the toasted potato topping. Jas. Hook

The tin of corned beef as well as the mashed potato-carrot topping sounds interesting. One of our favorites veggie sides is turnip, which we usually mix with mashed potato it might be another hearty topping combination to consider. Although less traditional, one pub we go to actually tops the pie with a thick fillo dough instead of mashed potato. Jas. Hook

Silent - A two pieces of plastic or wood cut to buckle shape, gold spray paint and some velcro straps around the shoe or even through the lacing may set you up for the evening. Jas. Hook

We usually just go to a local tavern that serves pub food and ask for a shepherd's pie. I would be interesting to see some recipes though. Damm... now ye got my stomach a rumblin'. Jas. Hook

Lady L - Welcome aboard! First off I'd skewer the bugger for not being more helpful to ye. Ta' find a lass interested in the sweet trade is its own treasure. Second spend some time reading the topics posted in the Pub to get a flavor of what we're about. Think about a period persona for yourself... how would you like to fit in, a lady, wench, pirate queen, tavern keeper, dockside shopkeeper, tradeswoman, seaman's wife or a smugglers daughter. Consider attending a pirate event... talk with the folks there. In spite of their pirate demeanor they're really nice folks. Pickup some books on piracy and become a bit o' a history buff yer'self. Ask more questions. Jas. Hook

Ahoy Beowullf - For BGS (big guy sizes) check out Lady Brower Treasures or Ghost Forge. M'lady Ashley manages to cover my... errrrr butt with slops and breeches. Ghost Forge actually specializes in larger sizes There is a place in Nova Scotia that is developing a period resort on the water. Their name excapes me at the moment but... who says Canadians can't have fun. Jas. Hook

Thank you ladies for your comments. df I believe is double face. For now, I just stitched black 1.25 inch silk ribbon across the hat and tacked it at the top center of the crown and both sides where the crown and brim meet.. The ribbon ends I just folded back and stitched down to prevent unraveling. Silk thread was used but I think I need to use finer needles. Further experimentation will follow. Jas. Hook

Aye, mutinous deer... it's the only way to deal with them. Jas. Hook
