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.

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----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Humphrey's Traditional Irish Shepherd's Pie Categories: Lamb/mutton, Vegetables, Herbs, Potatoes, Dairy Yield: 4 Servings 2 tb Oil 1 lg Onion; fine cut 1 1/4 lb Lean ground lamb, beef, or - turkey 4 cl Garlic; minced 1 Bay leaf 1 1/4 c Hot water 2 tb Tomato paste 2 tb Worcestershire sauce 1/4 ts Salt Ground black pepper pn Thyme 1 lb Frozen mixed vegetables; - peas, carrots, corn, (opt) - mushrooms, green beans 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.
