Flashback: A St. Paddy's Day Favorite and How Blogging Does Pay Off!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day I thought I'd flashback to a family favorite; Shepherd's Pie! We like to do ours a little different in the McDonald House. Here's our version.

March 2010
Shepherd's Pie with Bison

Now for another flashback. My husband, the nature photographer of the family, loves to wander around the backroads in Midway, Kentucky (where he grew up) snapping pics of landmarks, horses and other Kentucky beauties. Well, one icy day in January 2010 he headed out to Weisenburger Mill to capture the stillness of the winter wonderland, and ended up with some awesome pictures of the mill and captured a perfect one of the old name on the side of the building.

Flash  forward to last month.  I went to write my bread post using Weisenburger flour and I remembered those pictures and knew they'd be perfect "advertisement" for the Mill! But, never did we imagine that the assistant editor of the Kentucky Monthly Magazine would do a Google Picture Search and land on my blog and write for permisson to use those pictures for an upcoming feature. Not just any feature, but a Faces of Farming feature highlighting some very successful family farms in Kentucky!! How cool!

Another reason I LOVE this little place called My McDonald Meal! It's not only given me a place to show my passions and talents but now has given my husband something too! I'm proud of you my love. If only you had listened to me a long time ago and put your pictures "out" there for others to see. I can't wait to show you all more of his view from the camera.
