I'm going to make a Shepard's pie, primarily because I have all of the ingredients. Think it's ok to make the potatoes and meat today and put the pie together tomorrow?

A friend is having outpatient foot surgery tomorrow and I said I would take care of dinner.

I agree with deb. I pull that dish together when there are leftovers...so basically that's what
you just described.
At one of Asheville's many vegetarian/vegan restaurants, Laughing Seed's shepherd pie used a base of dense sauteed mushrooms rather than meat. Small "french onion bowl" size portion was $17. Delicious but ridiculously priced considering no meat cost. Keep this option in mind...I've copied it (for a LOT less) and it's a keeper. I thank our charlie every time I eat there for telling me about it.
Hope the surgery goes well. Your friend is fortunate to have you near.

Great idea , Mar, I’ve been wanting to check out the new organic mushroom farm that just opened up.

Thanks!
To me, shepherd's pie is often all about "leftovers" so that should be fine. What kind of
mushrooms do they have--just regular button or others?
I was interested in the "organic" growing of mushrooms and looked at this site (in CA but a similar one was posted in PA).
There is not a big difference in how organic and conventional mushrooms are grown. Synthetic pesticides are not allowed in organic production. The main difference is the nitrogen used in the growing process. For conventional mushrooms, Urea, a synthetically produced input material is used for nitrogen. Organic mushrooms utilize fresh (or dried) chicken manure for nitrogen in phase 1 of the composting process. Mushrooms are grown indoors and the compost is pasteurized prior to planting.
