I cooked up some crustless mini quiches this afternoon, and they came out pretty tasty! I had to adapt; the recipe said to cook them in a muffin pan, which I thought I had, but turns out I don't. So, I pulled out my ramekins instead, and just increased the cooking time. The one I ate was a tad bit damp, but cooked just long enough not to be runny at all, which was perfect. I've got five more left for breakfast for the week--yay!
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

I walked downtown with amyth and a couple of other friends for lunch and ice cream at a couple of ailing businesses. There's been extended road construction outside the restaurant and ice cream place, and it's been cutting into their bottom line. I ate ice cream for the greater good!
I also cleaned the tub. That's probably going to be my onerous task for the day.

“Not dead yet!”
I've vacuumed & steam cleaned the carpets in the main part of the house, solidifying my strong dislike of the carpet and desperately hoping to get a good book deal so we can replace the flooring to something more easily maintained. And not beige.

move out and draw fire
Power's out. I swear, the power has gone out more this year than any I can remember here. So: it's hot, I'm sick, the family is cranky, and I'm all about first world problems.

Kathy - isn't a crustless quiche essentially a frittata?

That's just what the recipe called it. I've never made a frittata before, so I'm not too sure! It just involved a can of condensed milk, three eggs, some flour, spices, and then I tossed in some onions, green peppers, and ham with the cheddar cheese. So, it ended up being basically a Denver omelet cooked in ramekins for about 45 minutes.

I think a frittata is first cooked on the stove and then put in the oven, while a quiche is just baked.

Frittata's can be cooked in the oven too, but they tend not to have milk or cream in them.

Well, I'm pretty sure that a frittata doesn't have a crust.
These dishes - frittatas, quiches, tortillas - they're all kind of cousins, aren't they?

Power going out is more typically a third world problem.
