Brinner

I looooove brinner! There are so many wonderful, different ways of doing brinner. You can do it carb-focused (pancakes, waffles, potatoes, french toast), protein-heavy (eggs, bacon, sausage, ham) simple and healthy (egg whites, fruit salad) fancy (eggs benedict) lazy (cereal and OJ) or Friday April 17th, 2009 style - Country Quiche in a homemade (Easy) Pie Crust with fruit salad, hashbrowns, and BACON!

The pie crust WAS as easy as advertised, and designed for savory foods like the aforementioned quiche. I was in the middle of a conversation while preparing the quiche, gave it a glance thought "hmmm that doesn't look quite right," put it in the oven anyway - and five minutes later realized I had forgotten the cheese! Needless to say, it stirred in just fine.

The fruit salad was beautiful - strawberries, honeydew, and red grapes. It's not that I possess special fruit salad making skills. But fresh fruit really does look pretty and its hard to screw it up.

And the bacon. Oh, the bacon. From the butcher. Where I drove. Two days prior.

Due to a situation that would involve a long, pointless explanation, we ended up with a pizza and fries as well. So after everyone enjoyed the quiche (all of it) the fruit salad (all of it) the hashbrowns (all of them - shredded, not diced if you're curious) and the bacon (of course all of it) - we had pizza! Right there, on top of the quiche crumbs.

I know a number of houses where this wouldn't fly. I'm glad I live in a house / and a family where you can have quiche and pizza in the same meal and not apologize for it.

I should mention, to close this disjointed entry, that I thought I'd make a funny last night and swiped this URL - http://employedinthekitchen.blogspot.com You can bookmark it or add it to your blog feed, but don't expect it to be happenin' anytime soon. As for the job market, over the past week I haven't found a single thing I am qualified for and nothing even worth the ink of a cover letter.
