I am assuming that the term "pot pie" is used correctly here, but it burns me up when I see things called pot pie that are really just a meat pie. Pot pie is a meal made in a pot, on top of the stove, containing ingredients one would usually see in a meat pie (meat, sauce and dough.) Those other things are merely a chicken pie, a beef pie, or whatever pie--not a pot pie. And, the term is singular: even if you were speaking of both chicken pot pie and ham pot pie in the same sentence, you'd be correct in saying that "we served both chicken and ham pot pie" not "pot pies." And, speaking as a Morrisons Cove native, I know that the Cove IS an area, so to say "Cove area" is redundant. I'm just "from the Cove". If I was from McKee, I'd not be from the Cove. Well, I'll concede that MAYBE if you're talking about somewhere just outside of the Cove, you could say "Cove area." But, please, if you're talking about a place within the mountains that form the valley of Morrisons Cove, don't call it the Cove "area." While I'm on a rant, why are folks adding a word to Cove Lane and calling it (I can barely stand to even type this) "Cove Lane Road." That's like calling Market Street "Market Street Avenue." I'm done. Peace, Valerie

I am not offended, but I am confused. (nothing new there) I believe we were talking about pot pie, cooking the meat, dicing potatoes and adding the pot pie dough. On top of the stove. Right? I am also familiar with the meat pie you are referring to, a real pie, with beef, or chicken, or turkey, with gravy, made with potatoes, carrots and peas. Marie Callendar pies-Correct? I also understand your Cove area issue, but I don't believe it is meant to be detrimental, it is just a statement to describe an area. Let's not be too sensitive here, this was a casual exchange of memories and recipes. I think it is wonderful to learn a bit more about each other, and not be critical of the exchanges. There are over 500 people on the Blair list and I am positive not all of them live in Blair Co., or even PA, so they may never have heard of pot pie, or the Cove!!! I have learned to just delete if the subject line doesn't interest me. On Sun, 14 Oct 2007 17:34:01 -0400 "Valerie A.
