This was a nice Greek-inspired variation on Shepherd's Pie.

The making of gingerbread cookies came to be a Christmas tradition before we realised it. They are really good iced with a thin icing of powdered sugar and water. This recipe also works if you pat it into a cookie sheet for a gingerbread slice (ice with the same thin glaze).

This one is still a bit of a work in progress. The flavour was good but it was a little soupy so I've adjusted some of the numbers in this recipe for another trial next time.

Dessert for the Burns supper! The kids were nervous so we cut quite far back on the whiskey volume.
