Lazy Saturday

I am actually having a day of doing absolutely nothing. I realized this and intended to do laundry, but Andy is actually in what seems to be the final stages of installing a laundry sink, so NSM on that one. I even asked him earlier in the day if he was actually, realistically going to be able to finish today, but then we were thwarted by such a minor detail as a lack of plumbing tape. I guess I'll actually read more. Maybe cook something complicated.

Don't think I'm going to have a nice weekend, though - I'm working quite a bit tomorrow and I have nothing but difficult cases.

Lazy Saturday

I am actually having a day of doing absolutely nothing. I realized this and intended to do laundry, but Andy is actually in what seems to be the final stages of installing a laundry sink, so NSM on that one.

I guess I'll actually read more. Maybe cook something complicated.

Don't think I'm going to have a nice weekend, though - I'm working quite a bit tomorrow and I have nothing but difficult cases.

First Time Quiche

I've made various savory pies before, and I've even helped make quiche while visiting my friend Ruth's aunt in a commune in Davis, but never have I actually made it on my own before.

A bit over one cup of leftover brown rice, mixed with 1 egg and some egg whites, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese, pressed into an ovenproof frying pan - who needs cake pans when you have these awesome babies? Bake at 425 for about 5-7 minutes or until it looks dry.

Fill with a mixture of whatever veg you've got on hand. I used zucchini, spinach, broccoli and mushrooms with a bit of garlic and scallions. Mix in grated cheese, feta, a bit of yogurt cheese and season with salt, pepper and a bit of nutmeg. Carefully transfer into the crust and cover with a mixture of beaten eggs (I think I had 2) and a bit of milk. I also put some cheese on top of that, but that's just me. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes, then at 350 until the center is firm, about 30 minutes.

ETA: Not only does Andy like it, he likes it more than the average!
