Personal Notes:
Jennie Thompson was my dear Scottish lady from Cornwall, Ontario. She and I traveled together to England and became best friend. She is the lady that taught me to hand quilt and helped me quilt Brittney Kaulback’s baby quilt. RIP Baby Jane and listen to the bag pipes play.
Her meat pies were awesome. I have since adapted the recipe to use instant potatoes flakes. I stir in a little at a time until the juice of the meat mixture is absorbed. Really not a lot of difference if a good brand of potato flakes is used
