PRACTICAL PARSIMONY: Chicken Salad Pockets Recipe

Chicken Salad Pockets Recipe

From cozyhomescenes.blogspot.com

I have never made this, but doesn't it look yummy? She says the filling is forgiving, and I think that you could use homemade pastry or any other kind. I have had something similar. If I make them, they will be triangles so that I don't have to get the pastry "glued" together to make a rectangle.

Check here for the recipe. She requested all text stay on her site.

ABOUT BLOGGER: Does anyone know where my "join this site" button went? LOL so how can I get it back? I have not deleted it, but it disappeared about the time I went to new blogger. I have gone to all blogger sites in a search for the button. It is not out there.

Your turn
Have you had these? If so, are they as good as they sound? Have you posted a similar recipe? Maybe you could share the link with us.

Hi Linda- Thank you for featuring my recipe. I know you asked others, but these really are good. Several of my readers have tried them and told me their family likes them, and I've recieved rave reviews from family and guest when I make them. They are really easy to make too.

You can use any kind of dough you like. I just like the lightness of the crescent rolls. That dough will stick to itself, but I'm sure an egg wash to use as "glue" or just using a different shape will make them just as nice.

Thanks for letting me know to drop by!

Shannon,
I don't make very good dough! So, crescent rolls sound great to me. I can also flatten biscuits with the best of them! Since it has been a long time since I bought crescent dough and was not sticking it to itself except in one instance, I was worried about it not sticking to itself. Egg white were what I was considering using--you know, what is left in the shell. I was considering adding some grated cheese of some sort instead of half the cream cheese.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

I guess you fixed the issue because I see the button.
I have never made chicken pockets but we make spinach ones. It requires a good bread dough. I won't be making them soon but if I did, it's a fussy recipe...not sure I'd want to type it out! Lol!

You can see the "join this site" button? I cannot! If it is fussy, I would not make it. Like I said, rolling or mashing biscuits out is my speed.

Okay, hoping the annoyances have gone away.

The Cast

Fancy is my favorite hen. She is one of the three youngest hens I adopted. Because she is so gentle and friendly, she may be the one I rescued when she was being pecked to death after she could no longer stand. She got to live in the house in a box. Sometimes, I let her sit in my lap while she was convalescing. Now, she comes to sit in the swing with me, cuddling up to my body like a cat or dog. She died in February 2012.

Fancy follows me begging, complaining, needing me to do for her. She talks to me in various voices. She allows me to pick her up and carry her. When she became an adult, her head was a darker red and her body was light brown. Around her neck were tips of black feathers. It appeared she had a necklace of jet around her neck. When I showed this characteristic to a friend, he said, "Oh, you have fancy chickens and plain chickens."

Chessie has a broken toe. I broke it! She had a habit of jumping really high and almost sticking. A raccoon ate her in October 2009.

Thelma is the blonde. She is also the largest hen and the alpha hen. I suspect the gigantic eggs are from her. She often squats and presents herself to me. She is top hen, but I suspect she knows she had better be deferent to top feeder of the flock--me.

Louise is the auburn-feathered hen. She looks like the true Rhode Island Reds in pictures. She is almost as large as Thelma. Some days I suspect she is trying to be top chicken. When I got Pepper, I found out Louise is the Alpha hen.

Pepper came here from the same home as the first four. We were discussing putting red pepper on their food, wondering if it really would increase egg production. Pepper is the only name we agreed on. She is terrorized each day by Louise. Even after the worst was over, she was and is still filled with terror and very wary.

Linda is owned by four hens. They allow her to fetch for them. She loves them dearly, so she allows them to boss her around. Linda comes out in the rain to perform chores for them and make sure they have food and water. She begs scraps from all sorts of places to make sure they have fresh fruits and vegetables.

Parsimony is not a vegetable

Parsimony is extreme care in spending money. Stick around and learn about my random thoughts on accomplishing goals economically--dumpster diving aka safari, gleaning, do-it-yourself, sewing tips, recipes, and whatever is happening in my life.

Okay so maybe "parsimony" is not your thing. How about thrift, frugality or just plain saving money? I try not to go the tightwad route as that seems to imply others will suffer from my habits.

Some of my not-spending habits have very much been a part of my lifelong habits. Other habits are newly acquired and are an extension of my lifelong not-spending habits.

I am very imaginative when it comes to substituting or making instead of buying. I will tell you about making a heater for the chickens' water. Not one dime was spent since I had everything I needed right in my basement.

Practicality must rear its head alongside parsimony. For example, I will use the dryer in bad weather or because of allergies in the spring. But, I will not wash clothes in a tub as long as I have a washing machine or can find one.

You may hear more about my four Rhode Island Red hens than you care to hear. They lay delicious brown eggs.
