This Is The Hour

Ok, everything worked out, had good Christmas classes where we watched The Snowman and the Garfield Christmas Special.  Exchanged gifts with that JHS girl who I'm ridiculously not objective about (love her!) and addresses so we can also send each other New Year's cards at her insistence.  Leaving the island soon, looking forward to the cat cafe!
To end this entry on a somewhat high note, here, have a quiche recipe from Orange Page. It's delicious.



Spinach, Ham, and Cheese Quiche

One piece=286 calories

Ingredients

Frozen Pie Sheet 18cmX18cm or 150g

Spinach    100g

Ham 5 sheets (seriously, it's what the recipe said)

Cheese 70g

Filling

Eggs 3

Cream    1/2 cup

Milk    1/4 cup

Salt    1/4 tsp

A dash of pepper

1. Set the pie sheet out to thaw. Add salt to the spinach, boil briefly until just cooked, and then douse in cold water to keep the bright green color. Cut off the ends of the stems and then cut the rest of the spinach into 5cm long bits. Cut the ham and cheese into 1cm squares. Mix the filling together in a bowl and add the spinach, ham, and cheese. Mix well. Preheat the oven to 200 °C
2. Put the pie sheet in the pie pan and smoosh it around until it fits. If you want to make your own healthy pie crust here is orangepeeleater's recipe; 2-2 1/2 cups flour, 2/3 cup oil, 1/3 cup milk. Also, a little bit of salt so it doesn't taste like flour. Mix and mold together but keep in mind that once you roll it out once, that's it. It isn't like cookie dough that you can moosh together over and over again.
3. Pour the spinach/ham/cheese/egg mixture into the pie sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes or until lightly browned. If your oven is evil like mine and burns the living crap out of exactly half of whatever you put in there, then put tin foil over the quiche until the last 5-10 minutes, then regularly turn the quiche to get it nicely browned. When cooked, remove and let cool, and then slice into 6 portions.
