Answer 3

It means it's time for

MAGPIE POT PIE!

1 pound skinless, boneless Magpie breast halves - cubed (about 10 birds)



1 cup sliced carrots

1 cup frozen green peas

1/2 cup sliced celery

1/3 cup butter

1/3 cup chopped onion

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon Sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon celery seed

1/4 teaspoon chili powder

1 3/4 cups chicken broth

2/3 cup milk

  

2 (10 inch) unbaked pie crusts



DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)

In a saucepan, combine magpie meat, carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.

In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Place the magpie mixture in bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Answer 4

8 is a wish, and 9 is a kiss, and 10 birds means a life of bliss.

Well, I think it only goes to ten...xD
