Keep your word…

My girl told me that she promised my sister, her godmother/aunt, that she would make shepherd pie for her upon her request and good grief! She did not tell me until the other day that it was way back in November last year. Well, with the COVID-19 MCO/partial lockdown, she would have a lot more time on her hands and would not have any difficulty getting down to doing it.

I bought three packs of the Aussie wagyu and we ate two for our lunch that day and there was one pack left in the freezer…but of course, using that, it would mean she would be making cottage pie since she would be using beef, not lamb.  Ah well! Beggars can’t be choosers. LOL!!!

I went and bought potatoes, carrot and celery and told my girl that she would be able to make the pie now to keep her word. No, I did not bother to help her – I just let her manage on her own but I think the doting mum did lend a hand and gave her two cents’ worth about the do’s and the don’ts, not that she’s not into making pies a lot herself…or not that I can remember.

Soon, my girl was cooking the filling…

…and it did smell great with all the herbs and spices that she added.

She also made the mashed potatoes for the pie cover…

…and after sprinkling the top with some parmesan cheese…

…that I managed to grab hold of, she put it in the oven to bake for a while.

Not long after that, it was done…

We sent my sister’s share to her house and had this…

…for our lunch when we got home.

Everybody enjoyed it to the max – we thought it was good and yes, my sis sent word that she too thought it was great.
