Lately, I’ve been busy in whipping up some dishes in the kitchen. What did you think I was talking about? Ahh… you saw the word VALENTINE and assumed…okay enough of that already. Anyhow, over Christmas, I vowed to DH to use some of the left over ham to make a Ham & Cheese Quiche and so that’s what I did. Using this recipe I found online I slightly modified it by adding a quarter cup each of peas and carrots. Now, pie crust is my weakness meaning I’m not really good at it. I’m getting better but this is going to take practice, practice, practice. In recent years I’ve made an all-butter pie crust for my pies at Thanksgiving. It’s tasty and I have the hang of it pretty well but my late MIL, the famous pie maker, used vegetable oil. I’m sure that wasn’t always the case but anyhow, her pie crust never failed and the end results were a delight. I found online this Easy Oil Pie crust recipe and gave it a try. The results of my first in a long time quiche with oil pie crust turned out nicely and I’m anxious to make more pie dishes! What can I make next ?
Valentine’s Day is this Friday and it’s mid-month. Double YIKES,right? February is quickly slipping away. I know some don’t like this holiday but you can still enjoy chocolate and fancy unmentionables even if you aren’t sharing it with someone special, right? Being the sweetest purson you probably will meet today, then let me share some reasons to laugh this season of love.
This meme reminds me of a sappy, cute song that I love by Australian singer/actress, Lenka, “Heart Skips a Beat”.
It’s time to grab a cup of coffee…don’t forget the chocolates, and follow along with me as I head off to visit Sandee for some Happy Tuesdays giggles at Comedy-Plus, then I’ll check out Random Tuesday Thoughts with Stacy Uncorked, and finishing things up by checking out this week’s word prompt found at Eugi’s Causerie for the wannabe poet buried inside. That’s a wrap for now but come back tomorrow for Wild Wednesdays where just about anything goes! 😉
