the hunter, not the hunted

i'm making gingerbread cookies!
nothing exciting, there are no men or women shaped dough blobs in my oven, just palm pressed dough splats. but they're made of gingerbread cookie dough that i made ALL BY MYSELF!

yesterday i made a rather successful (mostly) vegan banana loaf (mostly because i used moo juice instead of soy). i've never made banana loaf before. i'm not able to eat bananas because of the allergic reaction in get in my mouth and throat (which is sad as i do so love a good 'narna'), so i may have found a nice method of banana consumption. might try fritters later, there's about three over ripe bananas left in the pantry that really need to be eaten before the fruit flies get them or they just become mushy piles of potassium enriched goop.

i wonder what i can make tomorrow...

MY HOUSE SMELLS LIKE COOKIES!

if a shepherd's pie is a pie made with lamb, what's a shepherd's pie made with kangaroo called?

i'm in the midst of my first ever shepherd's pie making experience, and as i don't particularly like lamb or sheep meat, but adore the flesh of the comely kangaroo, i'm using macromince©. so, aside from creating a culinary first in my life (and kitchen) and totally ignoring the "traditional" recipe, i'm trying to work out a name for said foodage. would it be considered a "jackaroo pie"? or a "stockman's pie"? i think it needs a totally australian name, but i can't think of one.

ingrediments are as follows (in an effort to help the naming process):
1kg of macromince
1 carrot thinly sliced
1 onion roughly chopped
3 mushrooms roughly chopped
1tsp olive oil
pinch of salt
1 tsp 4 mix pepper freshly ground (black, white, red & green)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriandre
pinch of chilli powder
pinch of mixed herbs
1 cup red wine (approx.)

topping will include:
5 peeled and boiled medium size potatos
approx. 40gm butter
pinch of mixed herbs
1/2 cup milk (approx.)
1/2 cup cheese (approx)

any ideas will be greatly appreciated and credit shall be given to the person/s who help me to create a name for this dish!

til next....
