Today we took a friend of mine out for dinner as a retirement celebration. As we waited for our food the talk turned to our favorite recipes. Mine is a favorite recipe that my dad liked to make;chipped beef on toast. On our way home he'd say, " Should we have a little shit on a shingle tonight, Heather?" If I said yes we'd stop at Swede's to get the best chipped beef. Then he'd make white gravy and we'd serve it on toast. I thought it was a delicacy but the best part was that I got to swear when someone asked what we had for dinner.
I'm picking up some chipped beef tomorrow,dad. I've got to indoctrinate the Willman kids.

And old term from his Navy days and one from my Army experience as well. Your piece does admirable justice to the staple.
