I Did What?

Monkey See Monkey Bakes Quiche My husband Jeff and I are on vacation this week. We've been eating out almost every evening; however, we watched Throwdown! with Bobby Flay on the Food Network this afternoon. Bobby and a restaurant owner were competing over "manly quiches," and we decided to stay home and have quiche ourselves tonight. Now, I'm not even going to touch that whole Real Men Don't Eat Quiche thing. That's so 1980's, and I'm not going to claim that the quiche I whipped up was "manly" in any way. Here's my gender neutral quiche recipe that my my man gobbled up eagerly: Spicy Sausage Quiche 1 refrigerated pie crust (or whip one up yourself if you've got the gumption) 1/2 lb. hot sausage, such as Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Hot Sausage 8 oz. grated Swiss cheese 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 4 eggs 1 1/2 cups half and half 1/4 cup chopped onion 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, such as Lawry's 1. Heat oven to 350 F.

I just watched a segment on the Today Show  about going on a money diet. They suggested writing down everything you spend money on for a week. Well, on the first day of 2011, I didn't even walk outside of my house. I didn't log onto eBay and buy any old lunchboxes paying tribute to TV shows from the 1970s. I managed consume nothing but food I already had in my pantry - no ordering out. I was a great money dieter. Two days before, I bought my very first e-book, Eat, Pray, Love . I had asked for this book for Christmas; however, when I didn't receive it, I bought it for myself with some money I got for Christmas. I don't own an iPad, but I have access to one from work, so I decided to see how I would like reading an entire book on an electronic tablet. I'm about 130 pages into the story, and so far so good. The best part about reading on a tablet is the ability to read in low light. No need to sit right next to a lamp. I'll put on my fortune teller hat right now
