Fish Pie with Swede and Potato Topping

It was all going so well. Put together this fish pie recipe in about 20 minutes while Kasper played with Play-Doh. It was a rainy morning so I'd decided to get the pie ready up to the point where you put it in the oven so we could go out for a walk to look at the diggers on the nearby Flemingate development.

The pie was very easy to assemble - I'd bought ready diced swede - and Philadelphia and stock make up the filling, there was no tricky white sauce to make.

The pie was in the fridge by lunchtime waiting to be popped in the oven when we were ready. Half-an-hour in the oven and a couple of minutes under the grill and it was ready.

Only by this time, Kasper was too tired to be bothered. It's not that he doesn't like fish, he loves it, it was just the digger excitement got the better of him. Plus I think he is growing, he looked about five when I came home from work yesterday. As such, it was an early night for him and he was snoring by 6.02pm. Frustrating, but all was forgiven by his final words: "Kiss my face", an instruction which I happily obliged.
