All I wanna say, y’all, is that I love vegetables. Love ‘em. When I don’t get them, I crave them. (I crave chocolate, too, so this says less about how healthy I am than about how neurotic my cravings are.)

Last night, Mr. Scrapple made us a delicious “cooked salad” with Napa cabbage, cucumbers, celery, and green onions. I have no idea what he put in it other than that. Maybe he’ll log on later and share his secret because damn if I don’t know what it is.

My food contributions recently have consisted of a re-imagining of this shepherd’s pie recipe. Mine is pretty much as this recipe is written but uses skin-on mashed potatoes and no cream.

I’m pretty much making this post because I just ate a leftover meal consisting of both these foods, and I wanted to share.
