Dear friend Andrew, a Zoe (dog) sitter extraordinaire, made and brought us a shepherd’s pie before we moved so I wouldn’t have to cook. I heated it up and served half of it at our first going-away party for work folks. It was a hit.
Time crept up on us and I didn’t get it back to him. He told me to take it with us and I will give him a gift certificate for another.
For now, I’d like to tell you of the travels and uses for Andrew’s Dish, perhaps we can have a sub-set of posts just about the Dish.
Tonight it made wonderful scalloped potatoes with a bit of half-and-half and salt and pepper. Andrew’s Dish is soaking in the sink right now. It’s about half the size of a lasagne dish but has a plastic lid.
Andrew’s Dish is very versatile and would even be nice for sandwiches on the road, but I’m not doing the road too soon after driving halfway across the country, sick as a dog.
Yes, we will buy Andrew a new dish, but in the meantime enjoy its many uses in our 700 sf apartment with hockey stick marks marring the floors, a sink that stinks even though I’ve poured baking soda in it, and a jetted tub we’ve never used that had black mold growing out of it until we cleaned it last week.
Andrew’s Dish is pampered and cleaned regularly and I’ll keep you informed of its exploits. Cheers, Dee
Cooking with Dee 
Husband James has suggested a new blog, to include “The Journey to Milwaukee,” additional menu items using The Dish, and perhaps at the end, “The Journey Home.” D
The Journey Home may be sponsored by FedEx. Or UPS. We’re weighing the offers, and The Dish.
Pictures! We need pictures!
It made great potatoes, roasted with olive oil, the other night but we ate them before I could get out the camera, sorry.
Hey Dee, It’s me Pars!
I am happy to read about Andrews dish, it is a yummy.
This place your living in SF sounds polar opposite from your Park City home.
You should post a pic of you and your hubby eating shepherd’s pie in this new place of your.
Well any ways a milli kisses and a huge hug, when I get my baby pics i will e-mail you one k!
Hi Paris, not quite as tony as SF but we’ve got a view of Lake Michigan. We’ve invited Andrew out and I think he should know that his dish moved utensils from one place next door, and that we’ve invited him here and to take his dish on walkabout. Send us photos of your little one. Best wishes to y’all. xoxo D
