So very sorry to hear this - sending condolences and strength to you and your friend’s family.
what a loss… and yes, we really do need to appreciate each moment we have and the people we love as often as we can.
This is my very first Quiche. I’ll reheat it at halftime for dinner. I made the crust from shortening, flour and ice water. That was the hardest part (for me). It is just a broccoli and onion quiche, as I didn’t want to waste any meat if it flopped. My girlfriend and I just tried a small piece and it was delicious. I will par-bake the crust (a little) next time, but not bad for a first attempt. I can now add a Quiche recipe to my binder. (recipe from “Preppy Kitchen” on youtube)
The meal was definitely delicious and if you ever get the chance to attend a Kamayan meal I would encourage you to attend one. We did in fact get utensils but after the food was spread out on the banana leaves.
As for serving ourselves we were given plastic gloves to scoop up food after the food was spread out.
Continuing my Spring Onion dinner series….TJ’s pork dumplings and a side of ramen in action. Funny enough, I neglected to photograph mine and B’s meals …leftover roasted feta/tomato/chickpea with rice for B plus his usual giant salad, loosely based with several tweaks CSA mixed mushroom with couscous soup with local Bread Obsession sourdough for me.
So sorry you lost your friend. We recently got news that one of our longtime friends died suddenly from a heart attack. We still can’t believe he’s gone.
Dinner last night - Childhood Chili, from H’s mom. Ground Turkey (she used beef) pinto beans, tomatoes, carrots! Spices, etc. Homemade cornbread. It was a good nostalgic bowl and dinner for an early fall evening.
It’s beautiful! Congrats!
Excellent effort! Looks really good. So many wonderful variations on quiche too.
There is nothing like a quiche to empty the crisper drawer. Congratulations on your first attempt, looks great!
I have had such an onion soup craving lately! I have a random Friday off work tomorrow, so now I know what I’m making. Your’s looks great! What recipe did you use?
It was very good! I think (but am not certain) this is an older Cook’s Illustrated version, but in any case, here’s what I follow:
Caramelize the onions over the course of several hours:
4 T. unsalted butter
2 lb. sweet onion, halved and sliced in 1/8" slices
6-10 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1/2 t. kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Then add flour and cook for a few minutes:
2 t. AP flour
Add wine, deglaze and let thicken slightly:
1 c. dry white wine
Add stock, and simmer for 40-60 minutes to allow the flavors to marry:
4 c. beef stock
2 c. chicken stock
Wild boar burger with a topping of crispy bacon and sautéed pears, onions and leeks and yoghurt-wild blueberry jam spread
Came home this late dinner: BF made Pommes Parisienne, from a recipe we watched Chef John make last week. INCREDIBLE, hands down my new favorite potato method. Uber fluffy inside, crispy outside. Also, “creamed” spinach with plenty of garlic and parm regg, and marinated marbre steaks from our Frenchy butcher. A perfect meal.
I see I’ve forgotten to post our anniversary dinner pics from this weekend, but i’ll have to do that tomorrow. worked late, need a cocktail!
So sorry for the sudden loss of your friend…
Thank you!
It looks really good. You gotta love a nice, deep quiche.
Try this simple recipe for the night.
you will have a scrumptious dinner.
It is oven baked dish

My mom and my kiddo loved these [cheeseburger roll-ups]
I’m still waiting for Amsterdam, or did I miss it?
