Yummy. Beef, corn, carrots, peas, onions, shallots, and plenty of buttery potatoes.
This is what shepherd's pie looks like before it goes into the oven. I wet my hands a little to create a smooth surface, but was careful not to actually mashed the potatoes into a solid, hard clump.
Shepherd's pie after 40 minutes in the oven. I punched a bunch of little holes in the top with chopsticks, then a few larger holes with a small knife, so there would be room for steam to escape during baking.
I also made some basil bread because C brought us some basil from last week's farmers' market. It smelled really great in the oven, so I was disappointed that the flavor isn't that apparent in the final loaf. I guess I need to actually puree the basil into a pesto-like paste and incorporate into the dough to get a flavorful green bread.

What? I missed all this yummy food because I had to work late? boohoohoo :-( -C
Are you now feeding hungry attorneys who stop by on their way home from work?
Heehee. Hungry attorneys are trapped at work and can't come loot my kitchen. Muahahahahaha.
Looks great but corn is not in the original pie (its cattle feed in Scotland). I crumble corn flakes and dot with butter to give a crispy texture just like my Mum made it.
