Wheat and Honey

1 lb beef, cut into chunks, or ground ½ tsp lavender buds 8 oz sliced mushrooms 7 red potatoes of variable size 2 Tbsp cream cheese ¼ cup milk ½ tsp salt ½ tsp ground black pepper 2 beets 3 carrots 1 onion ¼ cup fennel leaves and stalks 2 Tbsp flour or corn starch

Cook the beef and mushrooms with the lavender buds in a small amount of water. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Cut potatoes into chunks and boil until soft. Drain the water; mash the potatoes with the milk, cream cheese, salt and pepper.

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Chop up the vegetables and place in a casserole dish. You can use just the beet root, or use the leaves as well. Put the beef and mushrooms over the vegetables, it's okay if it's not fully cooked at this point. Sprinkle flour over everything.

Spread the mashed potatoes over everything.

Bake for about 30 minutes. Broil it at the end if necessary to brown the top.
