What's for supper?

Tweet

Now that I'm no longer working the supper/dinner hour I'm trying to remember some if the meals I made when I was younger absent worked earlier in the day. My husband recently requested shepherd's pie. I found out when looking for recipes online that technically it's called cottage pie when your use hamburger and shepherds pie when your use lamb. I realized that made sense since shepherds tend sheep and lambs not beef. Now maybe I can remember which is which. I do remember that years ago I would cook up the hamburger and I think I put the potato mixture around the outside of the pan with the hamburger and veggies in the middle. The recipe I followed today called for using thyme, rosemary, parsley flakes and onion cooked with the burger. Then adding a bit of flour and tomato paste. Then beef stock, Worcestershire and finally frozen vegetables. Once that was cooked I spread it out in the bottom of my pan. Earlier I cooked the potatoes and mashed them. I added butter, half and half and Parmesan cheese. I was supposed to add garlic powder but only had the salt so didn't use as much. I then spread the potatoes over the meat mixture and baked it to heat it through. It turned out very nice. Now we have leftovers. ~~~~~ I had to get air in my tires earlier. When we went grocery shopping yesterday my tire guage was beyond at me. I have two brand new tires from last March. I'm sure it was the nippy weather that caused it. There was a twenty minute wait. I guess a lot of people had similar pressure issues. Other than that I didn't do much today. I did download quite a few free graphics that I can use for my journals. And, I added up the quarterly taxes from last year and found a discrepancy. Now I need to figure out why. Now meaning maybe tomorrow.
