Instead of Crock-Pot Monday this week, tonight we enjoyed Quiche Monday instead. Last night, I whipped up a quiche to freeze and give to a couple of our friends who are about to have a baby (to stock the freezer, you know, when their hands are full!), and as my trusty quiche recipe makes two pies, we fell on the sword and kept the other one socked away for a rainy day. As it happened, that rainy day was tonight, when both LeeLee and I had appointments after work that left us running quite late for dinner!
I got home a few minutes before LeeLee did, so I unwrapped the quiche from its freezer wrapping and put it in the oven, baking it at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes. LeeLee has a knack for always hearing the dinner bell, so he came dragging in with about 5 minutes to spare. I poured a bag of premixed salad into a bowl, tossed it with some vegan bacon bits and cheese, and pronounced dinner ready to eat!
We ate a bit informally tonight – LeeLee took his meal upstairs to finish the day’s work, and I sacked out on the sofa and watched an episode of “Designing Women.” (True story.) But that’s what Mondays are all about sometimes, you know? And on those days, quiche always comes to the rescue.
