It’s amazing what you can get done with a kid strapped to your chest. Like make a big ole shepherd’s pie!

I used this recipe from Epicurious with the following changes:

• added 3 cloves of garlic when boiling the potatoes and mashed them in
• added a thin layer of shredded cheddar cheese between the meat and potatoes
• used Guinness in place of the broth
• added Worchestershire, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme, marjoram and salt and pepper to the meat mixture (because it would have been mighty bland otherwise)
• used green beans in place of the peas, since we were out of peas.

It was deeelish! Highly recommended. Can be made without a kid strapped to your chest, too! 😉

Speaking of, here are the obligatory Griffin pictures for today.
