mmmm…………homemade quiche with a green salad and crusty sourdough. I followed the recipe for quiche lorraine from this book and it was such a success…I haven’t made pastry for years but it was soooo good and we were all impressed!

well the roses still aren’t planted, the tee isn’t finished and it was one of those mornings!
