Question: How do you know that you’ve been neglecting your food blog? Answer: When the last post is about a duck, which not only was never your dinner, but rather a living animal who is nesting on your balcony and who just came back for another nesting season… meaning that a whole year has gone by since your last post and that this duck has had more in the oven than you have. Well, that last part may be a slight exaggeration, since in this past year, my oven got quite a bit of action… one could even say that it has gotten around, if you know what I mean… that slutty slutty oven… Ok, this is one of those unfortunate metaphors, which should definitely not be continued, because who knows where it might take me.* So anyway, recently, the oven has been my accomplice in the obsessive preparation of quiches of all sorts. Here’s a quick fact for you, I have always loved quiche but never made one till about a month ago. I guess it’s because quiche always seemed to register high on the PITA meter (for an explanation about PITA go here). And then one day, completely randomly, I decided to make Quiche Lorraine, which ended up turning into a quiche mania of sorts. Once I mastered Quiche Lorraine, I moved to Quiche Flamiche and then moved in the direction of savory tarts, like the Eggplant-Tomato tart. I am pretty sure that I will soon spill into sweet tarts. And speaking of tarts, did I mention that my oven was one?
