Chicken Pot Pie (using your cast iron skillet)

I came across this recipe in my Country Living magazine. It is one of those delicious meals that warms you up on a cold day. Perfect comfort food. Number one in comfort food, I'd say. Now, this recipe uses a 12" cast iron skillet. If you dont own a cast iron skillet, (or cast iron anything), shame on you! Just kidding, but seriously, you must buy one. Like, right now. I use mine everyday, in fact, it never leaves my stove top...

Cast Iron Chicken Pot Pie

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
4 medium carrots, sliced into 1/4 inch thick coins
2 ribs celery, sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped ( I just use my press)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 cups chicken broth
4 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup frozen peas
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh dill (I just gave a sprinkle of my dry dill)
1 (9 inch) store bought pie crust, such as Pillsbury (If frozen, thaw)
1 egg, beaten

1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Heat butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook until carrots begin to soften (about 6 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.

2. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in flour. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream and broth, using a whisk, until combined. Stir in chicken, peas, and dill and bring to a boil. remove from heat.

3.Gently roll out pie crust until it reaches 12 inches in diameter. Place dough atop chicken mixture and brush with egg; cut vents in pastry. Transfer skillet to oven; bake until crust is browned and flaky, about 35 minutes.

First of all I would like to say fantastic blog!
I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.
I've had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Kudos!
