The Curious Quiche

Tonight after dinner I had an epiphany.

It was my first time making quiche and, I have to admit, I was a wee bit nervous. I looked at a bunch of different recipes and combined some ideas into "the curious quiche".

I sometimes panic right before we eat when I think about the actual randomness of the ingredients I have just mixed together. I seemingly manage to butcher perfectly good recipes by adding or subtracting a few items here and there.

...time passing... consumption of the nutritional powerhouse...

After I fed my manly roommates and was day dreaming about how relieved I was that the meal wasn't a total disaster, I experienced the inspirational moment: I will blog about my randomness in the kitchen and have the manmates rate each suspicious meal!

*Side note (also coincidental): last night I was thinking about making a quiche to get rid of some eggs before they went bad... I proceeded to recipe research. TODAY I received an email from my gym about the goodness of eggs (they referred to them as a nutritional powerhouse)!

... reminder to myself to blog about the new by-law proposed for Ottawa to allow residents to have a chicken coop in their back yard...

Let's get to business...

*I tried to take a picture of my crustless quiche with my iphone but it did not do it justice. Next time I will try and work on presentation.
