Of Shepherd's Pie and Dreams

[khyri]

You know how it is when you're almost asleep, and you think to yourself "Oh, I just know I'm going to dream of happy things - of walks in the park, picnics on the beach, making love under a full moon". And then when you wake up, you realize your dreams were of awkward conversations with George W. Bush and his friends in an untidy college dorm room

Khyri, I had to laugh when I was reading your dream sequence because I know exactly how that is! That sounds a lot like the things that go on in my head at night! No wonder there are mornings when I wake up tired.

Your Shepherd's Pie looks wonderful. Wish I was there to dig into a piece.

*nomnomnom* - yum. I make a Vegetarian version of this with lentils on special holidays. Here's the recipe.

I toast to all who cook. And not just to survive but to enjoy food. Those who take time to craft a dish with love. Beautiful.

Sweet dreams are made of seeds

Yes, the things our minds lay on us in the dark can be disorienting and uncomfortable ...and this is different from waking life ...how? Still, I can't think of how many popular song lyrics seem like dream transcriptions.
The Shepherd's Pie looks wonderful. You have stumbled upon one of my guilty pleasures. Another is Moussaka, which can be equally satisfying in vegan or carnivore modes.
I'm now craving Shepherd's Pie & Sesame cake while I sit at the breakfast table with my tea and oatmeal. This is so wrong.
