I forgot the milk!

Oh ho! now i know what's wrong with my quiche!

As usual, I like to pretend to myself that my memory is infallible.

Being really bored with the rice with stirfry veggies, rice with ginger stirfried chicken, that have been having, i decided i was going to make quiche.

Having successfully made it before at least 3-4 years ago , I thought i'll do it. The first time i tried on Wednesday, i didn't buy enough eggs to cover the silly spinach and mushrooms--which i admit i put way too much mushrooms---and so i ended up with goodness knows what, (tastes wonderful, but hardly passes as quiche) this erm, mushroom and spinach monster that falls apart.

I bagged that and decided to make some rice to serve that as a kind of veggie dish.

Friday, stoning in class, i decided to have another go... it must be the eggs, i grumbled to myself. Cycling furiously to the supermarket---i had an hour to chop, and er bake before i rush off to choir practice---i bought 10 eggs just for this purpose, more spinach, and decided to omit the mushrooms this time.

Genius that i was, trying to finish chopping and stuff it into the oven (my oven has no self-timer alas!) and get it to cook all before 6.45, i chop so hard i squash hard on my thumb whilst looking anxiously at the clock,. said thumb has been bleeding for the past few hours. no matter. 7.15 came and i had barely left my over-generously doused with eggs thing in the oven for 15-20 mins.

No matter, i decided to switch off the oven in the faith that the heat still circulating around the oven will certainly cook the quiche--i had this vague feeling i was doing something wrong.. 10 eggs? 10 eggs? into a small quiche? that sounds cholesterol inducing to me---and left sucking my still bleeding thumb for choir.

Returning home after choir and dripping blood still, i looked at my quiche, tasted it (it wasn't too bad) but it seems... somewhat flatter than most quiche i see and somewhat less creamy.

Giving in, i researched online discovered....i forgot either the milk or cream what have you.

and most receipes don't go for 10 eggs.

bah!
