Quiche and paper work

When I was checking my regular blogs early this evening, I saw a delicious-looking quiche on my friend Cheryl's blog. I instantly was not in the mood for leftover vegetable soup (although it IS very delicious, because remember, I make awesome vegetable soup!!) But I just had to have me some quiche, broccoli cheese quiche. Making it was a good diversion from my main job of the evening - catching up with paper grading in preparation for report card grades. Soon the house was smelling so delish. And it tasted even better.

I hadn't made quiche for a long time. Quiche always makes me think of my dear late sister Janet. I probably told this story the last time I made quiche, but I'm telling it again.

Years ago when our family was having our annual weekend together, Janet provided our Sunday breakfast - you guessed it, quiche. But oh my, it was very, very tough and very, very cheesy. No one wanted to hurt her feelings, so we exclaimed over how very cheesy it tasted. She kept apologizing about how dry it was, and couldn't imagine why. She had made this recipe before, and it had never been tough and dry.

The next week we heard from her that upon arriving home that evening, she was greeted by a LOT of milk in her frig. And then she realized why the quiche was dry and tough - she had forgotten to add the milk to the recipe! We never let her live that down. And here I am, over four years since she died, and I'm still laughing over it. I STILL MISS HER!!!
