so true. I'm going to try to do as much reading as possible today, so I can fully enjoy the 3 day weekend (Thanksgiving on Monday here).

I mostly am doing really well.

I think we should make this a quiche a trois, because the other two of us have neither pie plates nor crust recipe. Let's do this thing.
