Feast
The quiche was a hit, though the crust turned out a bit dry. Flavor delight and texture divine. Served with fried slices of squash, potato, and peppers... and $2.00 bottle of white wine.

I imagine if I hadn't simply bowed out, it'd be like I've always experienced roller skating or skateboarding: a few minutes of dangerous awkwardness and panic followed by hours of nervous but unimpressive competency ( Read more... )
