I realized I had two packages of Crescent rolls, and I had leftover veggies, meatballs from last night, and I have package of Courico. On the Today Show recently, they showed Matt Lauer in Cornwall, U.K., and he showed us a place where they make Cornish Pasties! I've been thinking of those "Traditional Yooper Pasties" by Jennifer McConnell, that I've been going to make sometime. It's a little late, and I need to make lunch for my husband, so I thought I'd try something similar and do it quickly! Putting two rolls of Crescents together, tops and bottoms, I could make eight pasties. The Cornish Pasties are different, and I don't have the HP Sauce that is served with those, but I had an idea for lunch "to go" for my husband.
