real men eat Quiche. Even more real men make it
Today I went to the farmer's market in the U-district and picked up the makings for quiche along with some ripe tomatoes, basil, etc etc etc.
While I waited for my guests to come I made a very nice tomato/mozzarella/basil salad, sauteed the leek, chantrel mushrooms, and broccoli, and thought about what else I needed to do. When they got here she started in on the crust while he brushed off his Excite Truck game :).
We started the crusts around 14:00 and dined around 17:00. Not only did 2 quiches get made (both had all the veggies along with a farmer's cheese with chives. One also had bacon) but she also made an apple pie.
The quiche came out quite nice though as expected the farmer's cheese was a bit moist so the custard was challenged. It mostly set though so that was a win. It was even more a win when you consider the last time I made quiche was 1997 or 1998.
It was all delicious. Don't you wish you could have been here?
