Well, I made sheperd's pie last night. For a first attempt, it was pretty good. I peeled and boiled my potatoes, then mashed them with butter and milk, and put them aside. I sauteed some onion, celery and carrots, then added the ground beef. I cooked it until it was browned, and then added some green beans, beef broth and a little flour to thicken it. I put it all in a pyrex dish, covered it with the mashed potatoes and baked it for about half an hour. The potatoes wouldn't brown, so I had to put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes, and then they crisped up nicely.

JR, the best comfort food for me is macaroni and cheese. It's my favorite. Although I prefer home-made, I even love that gross Kraft stuff in the box. My husband can't tolerate it, so that's a "treat" that the girls and I will indulge in when he's not going to be home for dinner.
