Not something you'd recommend then

Actually come to think of it I did try it many years ago, and thought it was horrible then, but I thought it might have just been the way I cooked it, it always looked so nice on Ready Steady Cook

Well since I've split up from Lou I have managed to lose just under a stone.

So it looks like I'll be back to my normal size for when we all meet up later in the year!!!

MASH BANANAS WITH STRONG FORK (I USE POTATO MASHER )
CREAM BUTTER & SUGAR AND MIX IN BEATEN EGGS
MIX THE 2 YELLOW SLUDGE'S TOGETHER
ADD THE FLOUR
SCRAPE INTO LOAF TIN

if u want to make shepherds pie more exciting grate cheese and mix into the mashed potato and layer cheese on top for a nice cheesy twist.
