Tonight Jason begged, &#8220;please no turkey.&#8221;  Oooo-K.  I still have LOTS of leftovers to conquer, but I also yearned for the taste of red meat, or really, anything but turkey.  So I pulled some frozen ground beef out and got to work on a shepherds pie.  I&#8217;ve never made shepherds pie before and I&#8217;ve only had it maybe once or twice, so I am not really sure of the &#8220;rules.&#8221;  I mean, I know ground beef on the bottom, mashed potatoes on top and that&#8217;s about it.  So I looked up a few recipes and decided to make something up based on what I had and what sounded good.  Jason liked it.  Logan dismissed it.  I think he just doesn&#8217;t like all his food mixed up together.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, when I was putting away cleaned dishes I exclaimed, &#8220;Oops. I forgot to take a picture.&#8221;  Sorry.
