Cooking - home made quiche

5th February 2011

I made another quiche yesterday, the fourth one in a fortnight, because hubby likes my cooking! I've got this recipie book from Be-Ro and on the same page as Cornish Pasties is a recipie for quiche, I bought one the other week from Tesco for £2.19 and that was the reduced price! So I thought I would have a go at making my own, the first was a bit of a disaster (didn't take a photo) even though I followed the cooking temperature and cooking times, it didn't set very well. But the second quiche (above) the third quiche (below) and fourth one (below), I cooked at 200c for exactly one hour and this is what they looked like. ........................................

My filling ........(all from Tesco)

• pastry - bag plain flour (41p), lard (27p), low fat margerine (£1, yes I know you can buy cheaper)
• some grated cheese (£1.85 large bag)
• 2 slices of value cooking bacon, chooped into pieces (75p),

• chopped up one large mushroom (value flat mushrooms - 75p)
• two small onions,chopped up ( bag of cooking onions £1 which lasts me ages)
• and quarter pint of milk and 2 eggs (£1.56 for 15) beaten together and poured over the filling

which I cooked at 200c for exactly one hour. The pastry is really crumbly and just falls to pieces. These are our favourite fillings but I'm sure you can put other fillings in if you prefer.

Have a good weekend

ps) oh, as someone has already noticed, I've been messing about with the settings and now this blog is 'invited readers' only but as all my followers will log into their blog anyway, this shouldn't be a problem. I changed the settings as some website called Thoora is busy archiving blogs which I discovered after a search on google recently, which I was surprised at because I've already got the settings ' not to search' by google anyway.

Vegetable Curry

Today hubby cooked a meal for our tea, vegetable curry.....

here is the recipe: (serves two large portions)

• 2 potatoes (peeled and chopped)
• 2 carrots (peeled and chopped)
• 1 small onion ( chopped)
• 1/4 of a cauliflower ( chopped into florets)
• jar curry paste ( Asda smartprice -27p or Tesco just 4p!)
• pilau rice
• 2 Naan bread

put potatoes, carrots, onion, cauliflower and curry in large saucepan, boil for about 2 minutes then simmer for 25- 30 minutes, cook rice and Naan bread as jar/packet instructions and you have a cheap filling curry in about 30 minutes.
