What's Cooking?

Tried my hand at making quiche. The little one is just extra filling. The crust was the best part, even though it kinda shrank, but it was all yummy.

That looks mighty tasty Skipper. Are those olives I see? Black or Kalamatas?

I think the reason the crust shrank was because I used my pie weights (I use .22L ammo) for plunking old cans the other day. Probably a good thing because everyone keeps telling me I'm going to blow up my oven, I already set it on fire the other day trying to burn sugar for my creme brulee since my blowtorch ran out of propane.

The olives are black. I had a small can and threw it in to make life more exciting. I have a can dump out my back door so I buy a lot of canned goods to keep it in good health. Fresh cans are kind of like probiotics for a can dump.

Some homemade vegetable tikka masala on basmati rice along with some naan tonight. Awfully good on a cold rainy Salt Lake day.

Just about to toast up some corn tortillas on a recent taco night west of Bryce in Dixie NF. Kanab lean ground beef simmering gently with a bit of tomato sauce in the background, after browning with garlic, onion, chili and cumin powder, plus pepper flakes for added zing (at home we would use chipotle). Beer pairing will be a "Trip Hammer Robust Porter" from Blindman Brewery in Lacombe Alberta for me, and Jo's having red wine in the classy Yeti mug. Missing from the toppings is cilantro for garnish, but hey- we are "roughing it".
