Spinach quiche, but it's kale.

Still finding energy somewhere, and cooking is about my speed right now.  Made a nice crustless quiche from dianesowo's recipe, which I've made many times.  

Hers is a spinach quiche, but I didn't have spinach. I did, however, have a  great big bag of kale, shoved unprocessed into the freezer a few weeks ago, ready for whenever I was in the mood to deal with it.  I figured that kale would cook down exactly like spinach, and so it did. 

And since I had the eggs and sharp cheddar and onions and garlic, I was all set.  I like this way of doing kale: bust it up frozen solid, made that very easy, removed tough stems, rinsed the leaf bits, then steamed like spinach, and added to the rest of the items, in a pie plate at 350F for 30 minutes.  

Here's the quiche,minus today's lunch.  That's a full meal for me, which is probably why I'm not, unlike a lot of people who love to cook and eat their output, traditionally built like Mme Ramotswe in the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency!  I keep on being surprised at how small I seem to be these days -- why am I not that great big tall woman I always thought I was?  well, I have lost a couple of inches, and that seems to have pushed me below the threshold into the petite section. 

Aside from making it a lot harder to work on my kitchen counter or reach the top shelves in the cabinets.  I guess five foot five is the standard height you need to be to work at the standard counter.  Taller than that and you're bent double with a back ache.  Smaller than that and your shoulders are all tired out.

I've toyed with standing on a little platform, but I know my memory, and it's only a matter of time before I forget and step back and knock myself out falling backward!

I now have a bit more room in the freezer -- kale takes up a ton of room, almost as bad as a cat in a double bed -- and a nice quiche for future meals, warm or cold depending on the mood of the cook, in the fridge.  This is good.   Oh, and it tasted okay, too.
