I Actually Cooked Something This Week

I actually cooked something for myself this week in an attempt to use up items in the fridge.  I tried out a great recipe for Ruth's Great Quiche I found on the Travel with Kevin & Ruth blog.  They eat a gluten-free diet and this recipe definitely works for that as involves a corn tortilla crust.  I eat gluten but don't enjoy making pie crusts due to the work involved and the fact that I have only made a couple ever - plus I had some corn tortillas in the freezer needing to be used up(fresh corn tortillas are almost impossible to get here).

You can use the recipe as a guideline and add whatever ingredients you like - I added broccoli, a leftover baked potato cut up, onions, bacon, and some corn.  It was amazingly yummy and I would make it again in a heartbeat.  I am not a big fan of broccoli but eat it when it is an ingredient in something else.  With hubby gone this was just the ticket-and the first quiche I have ever made.  I shall have to make it again for hubby some time.

I have managed to steam clean all the carpets, clean the fridge, stove, and microwave and catch up on all my most hated Company bookkeeping chores this week.  I took my Mom to The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel on cheap Tuesday - $6 including tax per person and we both loved it.  We had seen the first movie on Netflix and the second was just as good.

I have a bunch more items to check off the gigantic list before hubby gets home, but the most important ones have been accomplished.  I am not one of those people who need to get every single item done - I can leave a few for next week if I feel like it.

Buddy has been good company this week although I am tiring of being the only play companion and potty break person.  We will both be relieved when his other human returns.  I think I am going to go thrifting today for an escape now that he can be left for up to two hours on his own with no issues. Wish me some thrift store luck!
