Home made Rappie Pie by Aunt Helena. Yes.. i still donch eat them.. but it’s a huge thing here in Canada.. or in Nova Scotia. Every french people here loves.. their Rappie Pie. Now you wanna know what’s inside the Rappie Pie right..?? It’s a stewed chicken and potato dish .. baked in the oven. Everyone who speaks french here.. knows how to do this dish. It’s pretty gooey.. when you scooped it out. .on a dish. I guess that is why i donch eat it.
Recipe..??
Ingredients:
- 1.8 kg. of D’Eons Rappie Pie Mix (It’s an all natural partially dehydrated shredded potato product)
- A large stewing hen
- Several chopped onions
- A few bay leaves
- 1 gal of water
- Salt and pepper
- A few slices of salt-pork, fatback or bacon
- A large baking dish or two
Directions:
Toss the chicken, onions and bay leaves into a stockpot. Cover with the water and simmer until the meat is tender and the broth flavourful, about three hours. Remove the chicken and onions from the broth. When the chicken is cool enough to handle shred the meat and toss with the onions. Reserve. Save the broth. Discard the skin and bones.
Mix the D’Eon’s Rappie Pie Mix with two cups of cold water to begin dissolving it. Add precisely 26 cups of the warm chicken broth. If there’s leftover broth save it for another recipe. If there’s not enough broth simply use more water. Generously season the works with salt and pepper. Taste it and continue seasoning if necessary.
Preheat your ovens broiler. Layer half of the potato mixture into a large baking dish or two. Cover with an even layer of the chicken then top with the remaining potato mixture. Chop the salt-pork, fatback or bacon and sprinkle on top. Place the works on the top shelf of your oven and broil it until it begins to dry and form a crust, about five minutes. Turn the heat down to 400 degrees and continue baking until the top is an even golden brown, about ninety minutes. Get ready to enjoy an authentic Acadian treat with your family and friends!

For thousands of years, the Chinese believed in taking all sorts of herbal remedy to help the man’s health. Some believe that taking the oysters has an aphrodisiac effect but trust me, I’ve taken loads of oysters.. raw and cooked and it certainly didn’t do a thing for me. I am sure you’ve heard how some take the snake’s gall or drink the blood of a snake for that purpose itself… and swears by it. But I would think it must taste awful and it takes the very brave to eat and drink those stuff. How true it is about being of help, I wouldn’t know but if one has a medical problem regarding the male erectile dysfunction, taking generic cialis would be a more effective and safe way. Myths and facts and even hearsay are aplenty and if you have a loved one who have this health issue, it is best that one do some research instead of listening to old wives’ tales.

Amused that the local liquor store carries a huge range of beers from all over the world.. i thought i would share boozing town with everyone. The man and I don’t drink beer at all.. but it is still fascinating to see. What kinda beer do you have in your country. The Canadian beer is very popular here.. so is the Molson i think and not forgetting the Alexander Keith Ale.

Another new thing for KFC, a meal for one consist of a miserable drumstick, a snacker, some fries, 4 cheesesticks and a drink. The cheeseticks were so-so .. and the snacker had mayo.. you can drown in it.. the fries were so-so too. Overall, a ok meal.. but i wouldn’t eat that again.. as it was about $6.99 + tax.. not really worth it.
A closer look at the meal.
