quiche of note

i was tying to figure out something to do with some vegetables that needed to be used... and the perfect thing came along.... a quiche!

maybe i made one of these before... but this felt like my first time. it was very exciting and i was concerned it wouldn't turn out right.
i referred to a kind of generic recipe online and adapted it. of course i improvised a lot as usual.
i made the crust in the way my mom taught her kids. it came out just big enough for the pan and i left the small overlap rough instead of making a pinched edge.


i sauteed the veggies: onion, parsnip, carrot, mushroom, green bell pepper, and celery. in lard.

a few cloves of the garlic, which i participated in growing on orcas island, and a little dried thyme were added.









the mixture of six large eggs, a cup of milk, smoked cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper was stirred in with the vegetables after they went in the crust. there was just enough room to share the pan with three delecatta squash. the only complaint i had was that i overdid it with the salt. i was very proud of the result overall.
