I wanted to paste a receipe here that is from Paula Dean's kitchen but it says only people w/ over 500 points can do that. What is 500 points? How do you do that? So many tricks to this page. Some of you that have been here for a while, what's the deal anyway?

You need 500 points in order to copy/paste. The number you see by your name is your points, in this case I see 19. The deal is they're trying to make it harder for people to just make 100 posts of the same thing and spam the board.

This means you are going to have to type it out completely or wait till you reach 500. Shepherd's Pie Recipe courtesy of Paul Deen 1 small onion 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 2 (8oz) cans tomato sauce 1 1/2 cups mixed vegetables or niblet corn, prepared Salt and freshly ground black pepper 8 to 10 medium red new potatoes 1 1/2 cups milk 12 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup s our cream 2 cups instant biscuit mix Beef layer: Saute onions in 2 tablespoons butter. Add ground beef. After beef is brown, add tomato sauce; Mix in vegetables. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Potato layer: Peel and slice potatoes 1/4 inch thick. Cook in boiling water for approximately 15 minutes or until fork-tender. whip potatoes with electric mixer; mix until moderately smooth. Don't over beat them; a few lumps are nice. Add 1/2 cup heated milk, 1/2 cup butter, and sour cream. Salt and pepper, to taste. Whip until mixed. Adjust thickness by adding more milk, if desired. Biscuit layer: Combine biscuit mix and 1 cup milk. The mix should be thinner than normal biscuit mix but not runny. Preheat over to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 9 by 2 inch pan, or any similar casserole dish. Layer half way up with the mashed potatoes. Next, spread a layer of mixed vegetables or niblet corn on top of potatoes. Then add a layer of the meat. Pour biscuit mix over the meat. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and drizzle over top. Bake for approximately 35 to 45 minutes until top is golden brown. Note: Left overs make this dish easy to put together. So if you have leftover pork roast or beef roast with gravy and mashed potatoes from Sunday dinner then this is an easy mid-week meal that will take only a few minutes. (( see I type this all out ))

So I'd type it all out, then it would show up like this? How do you get 500 points? Where do they come from? I was gonna put one of her's here, but I'm not in the mood right now to type it all out. Will do it later. Thanks.
