I wonder who's more to blame - evil broadcasters or parents who stick kids in front of the glass screen and have the afternoon off? I admit I speak from a detached position because I don't have kids - but I don't have a TV set either, nor I am ...

Potato Free Shepherd's Pie Recipe

I don't have any food allergies, except porridge and that's not really an allergy just a violent dislike. I did find this very appetising and I would certainly try it, possible with meat though. Good page!
