What Are You Eating Today?

My mom didn't bake it that way but I love Shepards Pie. Sadly i am the only one in my family who does.

I make cottage pie pretty regularly. I even make shepherd's pie a few times a year, and use lamb instead of beef.

I've been corrected on this so many times I feel the need to share with others...

I have stuffed peppers simmering on the stove.

Hope they are good. Peppers hate me and I. hate them, so whenever we eat out, we have to ask them to leave out the peppers if they are part of the dish. I could eat them when I was younger, but my GI tract says no way and luckily I no longer like the taste of them.

Yellow, orange and red peppers. No green. The flavor of green peppers is too overwhelming for our tastes.

I can tolerate tiny bits of sweet red peppers and I agree with you regarding the green ones.

Peppers? Are they like chilli’s or are you referring you capsicum, what you call bell peppers.

I make a version of cottage pie using corn bread mix.

Well, a Shepherd's Pie is made from lamb, because shepherds look after lambs.

And therefore a Cottage Pie is made from beef, because cottages look after cows.

Obviously.

One of the benefits of working for Door Dash* is that you get a daily meal credit when you're at the office. The east valley of Phoenix (where we're located) has a bevy of great restaurants we can order from all the way from chains down to local joints. You want a Cornish pasty? A Sri Lankan Dosa? A Detroit coney dog? A nuclear hot New Mexican chile relleno? Done.

Today, I ordered a "New York Steamer" from Firehouse Subs. Yes, a chain, but a pretty good mix of corned beef, pastrami, and provolone. I also ordered a bag of cheddar cheese Ruffles potato chips, but apparently they were out, so I was given a substitution (Cheddar Sun Chips).

At the bottom of the bag was a hand-written note apologizing for the substitution that ended with "have a kind day."

Whomever put the order together didn't have to do that, and it was a nice touch.

*No, I don't drive for Door Dash. Nothing against the people who do, but I work in a very nice office. Also, that Cornish pasty place has a killer Cottage Pie pasty. The red wine gravy is to die for.

Oooh! I’ve done a variation on chicken and dumplings using cheesy biscuits, but corn bread would be great too!

What is a cottage pie?

It’s a shepherd’s pie made with any meat other than lamb or mutton. It’s technically only shepherd’s pie if it involves sheep

It's not common in Aus. AFAIK, but I worked in a restaurant some years ago that sought to enhance sales in our tiny town by running a parmagiana eating contest.

The sight was so disgusting it only happened the once, and I was just glad that nobody choked to death.

Bell peppers.

Bell peppers, jalapeno peppers or anything that has peppers in the name of it, or as is said in Spanish, pimentos. I liked them when I was young, but our tastes and Gi tracts often change with age.

But last night we had my hateful neighbor's favorite chicken stir fry with vegetables and orange sauce which we shared with a close friend, after I told my friend about the way my neighbor had cut me out of her life. My friend, who also refers to me as her sister, was shocked as we've been close friends for well over 20 years and she's 20 years younger than I am. I guess it was sort of a revenge meal.

Today we will go to our favorite barbecue restaurant, where I usually have chopped chicken and coleslaw and a baked sweet potato for sides. I usually get the large size chicken so I can share it with my spoiled dogs. They love it too!

Tomato leek quiche tonight, made by hubby. Leeks from farmer’s market, tomatoes from my garden. Co corn on the cob on the side and probably a salad as well.

Shepherds pie is a specific type of cottage pie.

IIRC, Shepherds pie was made from the leftovers from Sunday night’s roast - usually lamb. This was chopped up with the left over veg and gravy, and extra potatoes, or pastry was put on the top.

I could be wrong but that’s how this Lancashire Lass remembers it.

There are some establishments that do have eating challenges.

With Bilby away my eating is different.

Last night was a pan fried bass fillet with some canned potatoes sautéed in another pan with onion flakes, herbs and chicken salt. Not a bad quick meal.

Today, as I am helping ma and Pa (aka The Kettles) pack before moving, I’ll probably pick up Maccas or just do bacon and egg.
