I got the crazy idea that I should make quiche.Because I never have. So off to the store to get the ingredients. One potentially fatal flaw to the quiche outcome was that the local store had only ready made graham cracker pie shells for sale. I grabbed them anyway.To hell with first time quiche and pie shell making at the same time? I am not stupid you know.So the crusts were a bit sweet- it didn’t kill us. It made us stronger.
I made 2 quiche:one with cheese, onion and mushroom- the other with cheese, broccoli and onion. Our toaster oven could only fit one quiche at a time and the mushroom was the one I made first so that is the one we ate for dinner.The broccoli sits in the fridge,unmolested for now.
Although it was 100% vegetarian the mushroom quiche was highly edible. That and a side of brussels sprouts was plenty for 2 folks and we are almost done with our first week of less red meat more (antibiotic free or kosher) chicken and vegetable diet.We haven’t eaten red meat since the lamb and lentil stew I wrote of a hundred years ago (last week).
The unfortunate side affect of a more vegetable laden diet is gas. Allegedly less meat is supposed to free up the bowel and freshen the breath-but all we have noticed so far is gas and greener pee. Wondrous!
