I'm the first one to tell you I don't know everything. It's one of the reasons I'm always experimenting, to see what happens "IF". When I get great results, I write it down. When I get terrible results, I start looking for other ways to improve on things.
I spent my morning looking up the definitions of Calzones and Pasties (Pasty), I had the leisure of doing so as my Husband made breakfast for us. YAY!
In essence, A "Calzone "is a Pizza which is folded over and baked, a "Pasty" is a Meat Pie or Meat Turnover, what I call a Pocket. I have had Cornish Pasties when living in the UK, they were enjoyable, again, nothing like I had eaten in the past and an opportunity for me to experiment with different variations. I make "pockets" using pie pastry, and it's a similar idea.
It's Valentine'sDay today, which is why I was spoiled with breakfast and our evening meal will be anything my husband wishes to eat, which means chicken legs. I'll be planning a few meals I can trade with as well.
I have lean ground pork available and more cooked chicken I'm defrosting for lunch meat during the week. I'll be reserving a little of both to create variations of both Calzones and Pasties, my way.
Ham Pocket Pies
Steak Pocket Pies
The Calzone and Pasty recipes will require my Thin Crust Pizza Dough Recipe. It's not as "Bready" as a regular Basic White Bread.
For now, I'll leave you with that I hope the past year's flurry of information serves you well. My posts will be taken down a notch as I have the videos to create and a secondary Blog I'm working on. I'll be focusing more on the completed recipes and less on the "Why" and "How To" now. It took me a year to write out the basics, I'm looking forward to increasing the recipe side of things.I'm still Trading and may post on that occasionally, if it's not a repeat of something I have already accomplished. I'm hoping you get the basic idea, sharing and trading helps everyone out. and saves a few dollars
Here is a complete list of Recipes I have created to date:

I never thought I would enjoy blogging as much as I have, but I love it. It turns out I have a lot of information to share and I've enjoyed breaking down all the little Tricks and Tips I've learned over the years. The Blog has helped a few friends I know replicate some of the dishes I make, and the Videos are helping too.I hope they help you out as I continue to Blog about Food and Recipes.
Have a Wonderful Day!
