YUM YUM YUM YUM!  This sounds so good, Doug!  Did you come up with the
potato/bean mixture?  I've not heard of that before but sounds like an idea
with lots and lots of uses.  The way you've used the Calvin's also is a
great idea.

Of course, though, since it is Shepherd's pie and not Cowboy's pie, it
really oughta be made with ground lamb, IMO, which is what I'll do when I
make this asap.
Thanks!
