Left work early today. I had the headache that wouldn't quit and Katy was also feeling quite crappy. She's been feeling under the weather for the last few days. I think she's coming down with a cold. The classic signs: headaches, fever, full body aches and now a bit of a cough is coming in. Grrrrr *kicks the cold*. I'm doing my best to keep her comfy – there's not much else I can do at the moment and that pisses me off to no extent. There's a pot of homemade chicken soup simmering on the oven, and I'm making sure she has enough liquids.
I tried my hand at making quiche last night. The pastry was a challenge. I wanted to hurl everything through my kitchen window at one point. Still, I managed to salvage something that Katy says is decent – even if I found it a bit too dry and crumbly. The quiche filling itself though was a smashing success: eggs, milk, cheese, cream, bacon, leeks and mushrooms. It was all golden brown when it came out of the oven and was nummy. We had it again for breakfast this mornign :)
quiche sounds good, I need a recipe for quiche innards ( I can't eat crust anyway) wanna share?
How's she doing now? better I hope, I've been thinking about her all day now!

She's better. Bought some robaxacet for her back, which seems to be helping with the rest. She's currently reading in bed, eating a bit of lasagna :)
As for the quiche innards, I put:
– 5 eggs
– 250g of grated cheddar (half a block, basically)
– 200ml milk
– 100ml cooking cream
– half a leek, chopped up
– 8 mushrooms, chopped up
– half a pound of bacon
– fresh coriander
– salt & pepper
The bacon was precooked from yesterday, so I just chopped it up. Sauted the leek and shrooms in some olive oil, then simply tossed everything in a bowl to mix it up and dumped in in the crust. Cook for 40 minutes at 325. In a word, NUMMY!
