"I used vegetable shortening instead of lard, and they came out perfect. The dough was a little stickier than I thought it should be, but after some kneading and rolling it came out well. Tasted really good!! Way better than store bought. Now if only I could successfully roll them into circles!

"I give it a four for flavor- it was so full and rich! However, I couldn't get around the texture of the eggplant. Maybe I did it wrong? (I don't think so It was easy and, besides the eggplant, were things that I already have around the house. I think I will try this instead as a pureed pasta sauce, since I couldn't handle the slimy texture. My only other complaint is that this meal did not look appetizing. I almost chunked it before I tried it because it just looked...well...gross. But try it! Maybe you'll be able to handle the texture!

"I was looking for a basic pot pie recipe that I could work with and make vegetarian. This one worked great. I used mock chicken, vegetable broth, and all vegetable shortening. Everything turned out great! This was my first time to make a dough this way, I was nervous. Yet it turned out great. I added celery, and wish I would have added diced potatoes. I also added some fresh garlic to the onions when they were cooking, about two cloves. So simple, yet SO flavorful!! I will definitely make again, it wasn't even that difficult. Just messy! :
