Keripies

 


One from our most recent lockdown. I decided one day I'd had enough of being inside and that I desperately needed some fresh air so I had a brief walk around town. Only shops that are classed as essential are usually allowed to stay open such as dairies, supermarkets, petrol stations, chemists etc. 

This one was taken outside a dairy with signs advertising "fresh milk" and "Keripies". A dairy for us kiwis is like a 7/11 or a corner shop and pies are a big thing here because the bakers can put so many fillings inside, my favourites are mussel or seafood pies.

This is for Tom's post for things beginning with "K" and Weekend Reflections.

A seafood pie sounds good, I love fish.

I'd avoid seafood, but I imagine there would be something to my liking.

...a seafood pie is something that I have never had. Today we had fresh peach pie.

How odd that I never came across Keripies in NZ. I'm not sure about mussels in a pie, though, but I'll try anything once.
We did a lot of town walking during our lockdowns.

Mmm a Keripie. They sound wonderful. And must taste even better of course.

Not sure about seafood and pastry but would be willing to be converted.

Pies. F is planning a holiday in Metsovo (Greece). Some local protagonists maintain that Metsovo has the best pies in Greece. Coming from NZ F sets the bar for a good pie very high. Remarkably (given where NZ piemaking probably came from) she didn't think you could get a really decent takeaway pie in most parts of England. Kiwi pies are outstanding, and really hit the spot where fast food is concerned. Does anyone reading your blog remember pie-carts?
(and while not a seafood fan, would eat a seafood pie if it had mashed spuds on top)

I would like fish pie, I made clam rolls for lunch today. I am thinking your fish pie is sort of like chicken pot pie. Here in Texas we have fish taco for us to eat. The restaurant that we go to having these makes them very juicy, I ask for mine to have the "sauce" on the side. Your quick stop place reminds me of the one we found in Devonport, is it a chain?

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
