Quiche and other chat

Yesterday the spinach quiche came to pass, in the cast iron pan, which I like because you start the dish on the stove top, bake it and you've used one pan, also cast iron is great for baking.


Here's the mixture, onions, fresh spinach, eggs and cheese


Coming out of the oven


And served with a handful of cilantro working as a green salad. Three more meals like this, because it heats up nicely.

That fortified me for the Friday knitting group, which was a quiet affair this week, no new work to show you. Conversation ranged over allergies, since mine have started, proving spring is springing, nuts, shellfish, Valentine's day cookies, covid precautions, heating in public buildings, septic systems, wells, flowering trees, absent members, and the Sock Ministry. 

Happy day, good weekend, everyone. 



Two years today since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We really must pass the aid bill. Aside from the humanitarian urgency, it actually provides employment all over the US, where weapons and ammunition are manufactured. This is a point overlooked by people opposed to helping Ukraine. Aside from their fighting our proxy war against the ambition of P***n.

  3. At the very least, you'd think the manufacturing benefits to the U.S. would budge the non-thinking right wing. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite you face!

    1. Most people don't understand what we're sending. They think it's $$ straight from the Treasury. Out of their pockets.

  4. Do you ever make a shredded potato crust for your quiche? That too works very well in the skillet.
    I do like that cartoon.

  5. As the person who does the dishes in our household, I am a fan of one-pot (or pan) meals! I can't believe the invasion was two years ago. Yes, we've got to continue to support Ukraine against Putin's expansionism.

    1. As the cook and dishwasher around here, I like to economize on dishes. Amazing how many I use.

    1. It really is. I had a slice today warmed for lunch, still good.

  7. A little spinach in a quiche is ok, but it can be overpowering if too much is used. The cartoon is funny. I wonder if Mexicans can find a useful purpose for their side of #45's wall.

    1. There can never be too much spinach! I love the cartoon. Not sure how the wall got in here?

  9. What a great idea. I have all the makings for a spinach quiche, but then my throat had a pill stick in it, which meant the rest of the day on soft foods, so soup it was for supper. Maybe tomorrow. I'm craving it!

  10. Oh, I meant to say I quoted Heather Cox Richardson today about the Ukraine people and Putin and all...it really is irksome that the MAGA legislators are holding up helping them, and yet we're being pulled into the Middle East's problems. Russia isn't going away!

  11. When the garden starts producing and the chickens start laying in the spring quiche is a regular on our table. I think we eat so much then that we don’t eat it the rest of the year lol
    But I think I might be about ready to have one again

    1. I hadn't thought about quiche as seasonal, but I don't have chickens.

  12. Linda Sue here, Your quiche looks heavenly- so much so that I fried an egg and threw spinach at it- that was a swell lunch! Which reminds me of a thing I saw today- a case of eggs in the grocery- the sign below them read "Alabama orphanage".

    1. Yes on the eggs! Have you seen the heaps of acorns labeled forest?

  13. Even the spinach looks good in that dish.

  16. Quiche is good no matter how it's cooked. Have you tried the Impossible Quiche recipe and then cook it in muffin tins? Resident Chef often does that and then he freezes them. Easy to pull out for a quick meal.
