You have given me the idea for this Sundays menu. The scones and tea remind me of my mom and home:) She has her daily tea and my family and I love her scones. On a day as drizzly as today both would be welcome in my tummy.

I kept hearing how high everything was, and avoided shopping there, but once I did, there is no comparison.<br />I'm hooked.<br /><br />Andora: It's a simple working man's meal. Meat, potatoes and a gravy base. Served with peas and carrots, and I like to boil cabbage and serve with it.<br /><br />Becca's Dirt: I know what you mean. Yesterday, I not only bought the scones, but also a cherry pie and oatmeal and raisin cookies..lol<br /><br />Jeannette: Sometimes people call it Cottage Pie, but that is usually made with cuts of steak rather than ground beef, either way, I like it.<br /><br />Laura, I honestly like Lipton tea, but Tetley and Yorkshire when I want something stronger.<br />We have a World Market, I've never been there, it's about 25miles away. I should try it. Thanks !<br /><br />Sunny : How funny ! We must have had it on our minds....<br /><br />Pastor Sharon: I guess Publix is a Southern store ? Not really sure of that.<br />I knew you'd like Shepherd's Pie ..lol<br /><br />Amy: Yes, we use whatever vegetable we have on hand also. It was the first meal I learned to cook in domestic science class in school. (Cookery class). I like it with cabbage on the side too.<br /><br />L.D. Are you a scone lover too ? I'll have to try the ones in Barnes and Noble, didn't know they had them. Glad you liked the blue willow, it's my favorite.<br /><br />Carlarey: Mushy peas....ohhh !<br />I've only seen them in the tins, big marrofat peas.<br />It's got me thinking about a lovely cod and chips and mushy peas.....<br /><br />Snapper: Yes, I love to boil a cabbage and serve it on the side. Sounds like you're a good cook !<br /><br />Gloria: Oh never thought of trying cheese in the potatoes, that sounds delicious...<br />Next time you're back in Blighty, you'll have to stock up, on the Colmans or just use the old OXO's like I do most of the time.<br /><br />..mmm: You;ll have to make yourself a batch of raisin and sultanna scones, do you have a recipe ? What is it with us Brits and our Shepherd's Pies...lol<br /><br />Cass: Thanks for the Ummmmmm it sounds good ;)<br /><br />Dave: Ethnic...hmmm, what's the name of your market ?<br />No scratch that question ;)<br />Just make it with OXO's can you get them ?

When I was working, we would cook at work from time to time, and I've seen quite a number of ways to make. One way was layering in cabage to the mix. It was very good if you like cabbage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918527799348942864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-46575639035807815522009-10-07T10:45:29.004-05:002009-10-07T10:45:29.004-05:00I'm heading straight to Publix.
