Book Review of Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks

Sleeping Beauties: The Victorians and Post-Mortem Photography

Cottage Pie Recipe
I didn't know there are so many different names for basically the same thing... I always called it shepherd's pie. Never tried it with mushrooms. It's good meal for upcoming cold days.
