Tonight the Bauson Family had an extremely disappointing dinner. We found ourselves in a bind when we realized we had run out of things to make: no proteins, no veggies, no starches...nada - zip - zilch - zero. John took Manny and made a quick dash to the grocery store. Unfortunately, we needed to be a bit frugal - pay day isn't until Wednesday - so John bought what was on sale. And what was on sale just happened to be Safeway's version of shephards pie.

Admittedly, Safeway's shephards pie doesn't sound all that appetizing, but we were working with what we had. It didn't look so bad on the box.


However, what came out of the container was anything less then appealing. It looked NOTHING like it did on the box. When you look at the box you plainly see ground beef with carrots topped with mashed potatoes. What we plated was more like ground beef pate` with cooked cheesy dehydrated potato flakes. It was the consistency of refried beans, and tasted like a salt lick. John added some more vegetables to try and salvage the mess.


Seriously, how can Safeway get away with that? It is TOTAL misrepresentation. The only sane person in our home was Manny. He refused to eat it.
