Adapted from Rachael Ray and Cook’s Illustrated Recipes.
I am feeding a crowd today. Jan’s brother and cousin are coming, both with +2, so nine diners in total. The last time I did a shepherd’s pie it made enough for 6 diners. I will have to scale up my recipe and use a large baking pan, rather than my usual casserole.

Karl’s Carrot, Coconut and Ginger Soup
Jan and Eilene went on a walking tour of the coast of Devon while they were in England. They stayed at Home Farm, a B&B run by the Stubbs.

Alison Stubbs is working on writing a cookbook, creating healthy, locally sourced, takes on traditional Devon fare.

Karl’s 40 Clove Garlic Chicken with Mushrooms
It is a constant challenge to make my meals meet all of my family’s food preferences: low fat, keto, soft food, yes mushrooms/no mushrooms, not to mention various allergies. Most of the dishes that I am planning for this Sunday are a bit bland, so I thought that I should make at least one with some kick to it.

I had originally planned to roast the potatoes with the chicken, but both Jan and Eilene went, “Alison made these great sesame potatoes.” [Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, say no more.] Again I am making this recipe based solely on a description of the finished product.

Karl’s Chicken Tacos
Jan and Eilene just got back from England, so of course they are hungry for anything but British food. Jan requested Mexican food. They had actually had very little chicken while they were traveling, so chicken tacos seem the way to go.

Karl’s Lamb, Oyster Mushroom, and Romaine Stir-fry
Jan and Eilene are still in England So I am still cooking for one. I got tired of tongue so I froze the last of it. If you ever make tongue make sure there are enough people to eat three pounds of meat in a meal or two.
