Broccoli and red pepper quiche 3 days ago

My quiches are still butt-ugly for some unfathomable reason (well, not so unfathomable, really: I can’t quite get the custard-to-pie-to-filling ratio right), but at least there are no complaints on flavour.

This one turned out to be a touch greasy, but that’s entirely my fault for adding an extra splash of oil to the pepper-and-onion mix while I was sauteeing it. I just had to meddle, I couldn’t leave it be! Sheesh…

But all in all, I feel like I’m making progress on the learning curve, and that can be no bad thing.

learn to use my new camera
The camera isn't "new" anymore... 1 week ago

... but I still need to learn to use all its functions. This doesn’t stop me from taking pictures, of course, but at times I would like to have a more measured approach to photography.

Item # 5: Big tin of chocolates 1 week ago

My husband’s grandma gave us this for Christmas last year, but neither of us really eats chocolate. I think he doesn’t have the heart to tell her that, so every year, we end up with a massive tin…

Luckily, most of our friends are choccy fiends, so we managed to recycle this on to someone who is already working her way through it. Result!
