   Ours went awat when Whistle folded their tent here. All sodas bottled    
   by them were in glass deposit bottles. The convenience of lasndfillable   
   cans w/no deposit (in this state) did them in. They had a really good   
   orange soda and but I mostly miss the Grapeette. I really liked it.    
      
   Not well enough to go to WalMart/Scams Club which are the only places   
   it is sold currently.

   Pedant mode on: It's got beef so it's a cottage pie. Shepherd is from   
   "Sheep Herder" and a Shepherd's Pie is *only* made with lamb/mutton.   
      
   That doesn't mean it's not good - just mis-named.  Bv)=

   MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------   
     2 1/2 lb Russet potatoes   
              Salt & pepper   
         4 tb Unsalted butter   
       1/2 c  Whole milk or cream   
         1    Egg yolk   
         3    Scallions; thin sliced (opt)   
       
     * Shepherd's Pie has always been a staple of traditional   
     Irish cooking. The British use lamb in their Shepherd's   
     Pie, but beef is quite popular and ground turkey can be   
     used if preferred. This recipe can also be made in   
     individual pie dishes, which are always a hit. Drop by   
     Humphrey's Market to pick up all of your ingredients.   
        
     Add 2 Tbsp oil to a medium-size pot, on medium heat,   
     saute the onions until golden.   
        
     Raise the heat to medium-high, add meat, continuously   
     stir while sauteing, until it begins to brown.   
        
     When meat is cooked through, add 1 1/4 cups of hot water,   
     bay leaf and garlic, put lid on and bring to a simmer and   
     put the heat on low. Simmer for 30 minutes or until the   
     liquid reduces to 1/2 cup.   
        
     Meanwhile, peel and cube potatoes in 3cm/1" sq, boil in   
     water, until tender. Drain, add salt and pepper to taste,   
     add butter and mash.   
        
     Beat the egg yolk with milk. Add to the mashed potatoes   
     and stir. Add sliced scallions and stir. Set aside.   
        
     To the simmered meat, add tomato paste, Worcestershire   
     sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, and frozen vegetables. Mix   
     well and simmer for 5 more minutes. Empty into an   
     oven-safe deep dish and remove bay leaf.   
        
     Place rack on middle shelf of the oven, set thermostat   
     to 205ºC/400ºF.   
        
     Spread mashed potatoes over top of the meat mixture.   
     Rough up with a fork so that there are peaks -or- use the   
     fork to make some designs so the top will brown nicely.   
        
     Bake for 30-45 minutes, until golden brown on the top.   
      
     UDD NOTE: If you make this with non- ovine meat please    
     call it "Cottage" pie. Shepherd's Pie is reserved for   
     sheep meat. Your lexicographer will thank you.
