Skipping for advice:

I need to cook today. I'm looking for something pie-ish/bake-ish/pastryish, that will make me use potatoes and flour and such. I'd love it if it'll be a little bit sweet, but more important, I need something I can eat as a meal. I just went through recipes for the better part of the last 30 minutes, and found gronk.

It might be a good place to say that I'm vegetarian, so no meat and fish.

Any suggestions, oh ye buffoodstas?

Quiche?

Or a frittata. I made a totally yummy veggie dish the other day with potatoes, greens, garlic, chili pepper, olive oil. It was so simple and so dang good.

Burrell, can I have the recipe?

(I'm still kinda new to the kitchen, so the more "breaking it into simple steps" for me, the better).

Bones:

bah. There were parts I liked. Like the bridge building. But - Can we do something different with the cliche? I don't have kids. Don't really want them , never really did. But - I like them . I love working with them at the library. And I find most babies cute. There is a lot more in between in this senerio.

Here it is Shir:

Boil 1 lb potatoes in salted water until tender (20 min or so). Drain, peel, chop.

To cook greens also simmer in salted water until tender (10 min) and drain.

In a skillet heat oil, add garlic and pepper flakes. When it smells delish, add potatoes, greens, and 2 tomatoes chopped (or in my case, 1 small can chopped tomatoes). Mash together, check salt/pepper, add a teaspoon of vinegar. Enjoy. mmmmm.

quiche : really - unless you are trying to impress - the method is here:

biggest tips:

Cheese on the bottom - the fat in the cheese keeps the crust from going soggy.

Don't let any extra juice from the veggies in the pie - might not set as well as you like.

eat hot, cold or room temp.

That looks great. Thanks guys!

Edit: news here reports on Tornadoes in U.S. I hope all OK.

And now, back to the CPR theme:

Remember that badass mom I have? She's also happen to be an extremely trained nurse in almost every field of nursing.

About two months ago she went to do groceries shopping on a Friday. Halfway through, she heard a screaming. She couldn't remember how, but after two minutes a dead toddler, probably not older than two years old, landed in her arms. Automatically she began CPR for about 20 minutes, until the ambulance came, and protecting the toddler from "helpful" "spill water on her!" suggestions. Eventually, she saved the baby's life, without any brain damage. And my mother, a woman with more than 30 years of training in this life saving field, was shocked. Mostly because she had no equipment to take care of the baby properly and it came out of nowhere, and at work she used to be in a certain state of alertness at all times.

As for me: I don't care much about the spit and other fluids. I had a CPR course 8 years ago, but the bottom line is if I'm afraid to do more damage than help or not, not to mention not to freak out at the sight of bad injuries (I can be a wuss about it, because I can't stand knowing when others are in bad pain), but then again, I'm also good with keeping calm when hell breaks loose.

Meh. I'm having uninspiring salad-lunch.

(The new recipe tryouts will be dinner).
