Hey, blog. Stew here.

So generally speaking, my nerdiness extends only to music. About a year and a half ago, however, my good friend Adam (who by now probably gets 80% of his traffic from this blog) got me hooked on the Scott Pilgrim series. It’s hilariously written, makes endless sub-pop culture references (See what I did there? No. You don’t.) and stars a mid-20′s loser who plays bass in a shitty indie band called Sex Bob-Omb, so it’s pretty much right up my alley. This summer, director Edgar Wright made a genius film out of it and I am totally going to watch as soon as I’m done writing this stupid post, so excuse my hurriedness and terrible writing.

In Volume 2 of the 6-volume series, titled Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, the guitar player in Scott’s band (Stephen Stills, yes, like Stephen Stills. His roommate is named Young Neil. I’m the only person who gets this. Damnit, bloggers. Start listening to music.) leads us through a delightful little Shepherd’s Pie cooking lesson.

Here goes!!!

I added a leek and made my own gravy because I’m pretentious and didn’t want to eat all the booshit in packaged gravy mixes.

And fuel, as always:

So uh, I’ll let them do most of the talking…

Sadly, I have exactly zero friends to help me chop stuff and I really didn’t trust the cats with knives (but I did think about it).

Mmmmmmm. So good. I’ve been wanting to make a shepherd’s pie for a long time and this was a surprisingly delicious recipe. You should try it! Your boyfriend/husband will think you’re way hotter when you come home with a comic book graphic novel under your arm.

The end.
