Bailey's and Butter Pecan Ice Cream

Suburban micro-adventure:

Bailey's lightly drizzled over butter pecan ice cream works well.

No photos this time, sorry, but it did taste good!

Disaster Averted Quiche

The house has several pounds of spinach sitting in the fridge, and some good cheese.
Since we had some eggs, I started making a quiche sans the pie crust.

I put three slices of butter into a pan, then covered it with olive oil, cajun seasoning (it was a good move), four eggs, two cheeses (Kiernan--kin to cheddar--and "Cheese Food Singles"--apparently the creators of American Cheese Singles at Land-O-Lakes found it irresponsible to consider them as real cheese). I started to add some milk and tried to fluff the egg mix a bit.

I then realized I had never cooked a quiche before, and had very little idea as to how one should make a quiche.

Thank goodness for the internet!

After a brief google search and a glance at several recipes, I realized I was supposed to bake the ingredients in some kind of grain-based carbohydrate substance.

Disaster averted, I added some pinto beans into the egg mix and carried on with my pan heating.

At the same time, I created a cavity inside of a cheap baguette, did some creative things with bread slices to hold the egg mix, dumped in the goodness, and put it in a toaster-oven.

Success!
