Happy Birthday, Maybelle . . . and Game of Thrones Pie

As they walked out on the streets of Laredo,

As they ran fast in Laredo one day,

They spied a poor dog peeking out of a backyard,

“Ha, ha on you trapped there!” fierce Maybelle did say.   

*********

Maybelle IS fierce but she's sweet, too . . .

and she's just turned 6.

*********

Maybelle is a picky eater, and she prefers human food to her own.

So, on her birthday, when I made this ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Game of Thrones MODERN PORK PIE with a layer of apples and cheese under the crust, 

 I was sure Maybelle would have loved it as much as we did.

If you have the cookbook,  A FEAST OF ICE & FIRE, the recipe is on pages 36-37.

I served the pie with the Game of Thrones “Salad at Castle Black”

(p. 27)  and “Tomates grillés au four” from Julia Child’s

MASTERING THE ART OF FRENCH COOKING (page 506).
