Learning to Cook - Day 1 - Injun Pie

Since Laura and Rebekah are gone for the week, Hannah and I are learning to cook. We planned to start on Monday, but Jon asked us girl's to make a casserole for Sunday's dinner. We looked though the fridges, freezers, and pantry, and came up with this.


Around the dinner table, we discussed what to name our new creation. The casserole contained rice, potatoes, carrots, and beef. Shepherd's pie is similar, but doesn't have any rice. At first, we thought we'd name it "cowboy casserole", but Jon pointed out the cowboys don't eat rice. The kicked out "country casserole", as well. Well, where is rice grown? China, Japan, India...India! People from India are called Indians, right? So, henceforth, "Injun Pie" is the name of our casserole. =)

Salad to go along with dinner. We had turnips, spinach, chives, and parsley from our garden! And an Italian dressing mix from Azure.

Monday's lunch. I was feeling a little dramatic.=)

Complete with candles, flowers, lemon water, and dinner and salad forks.

Dramatic Susi! You should post the recipe on your tips blog. After all it is your very own recipe! You could call it "Im Juni Casserole", like on the German program. But it's not German, so that's a problem. But it was made by two German girls! :-P
