Baking

So I decided that since I was really bored and depressed yesterday, I would not be like that today. I decided to be productive and get stuff done around the house. Managed to get the dishes that have been sitting in the sink for 3 days done. =) Russell did the laundry. =) =) =) He deserves three star stickers or something. I got Kit's Christmas present mailed off to him :-O oops. Just a little late is all. Russell and I then had a nice lunch at P.F. Changs. Quite good food. Next it was Russell's turn to mail a package. While I waited in the car, he snuck into the florist's next door and bought me a cute yellow rose. With a vase, so we now have two. A quick run to the store where I forgot to get cupcake papers, Liquid Plummer and frozen veggies. Oh well. A quick stop to CVS to get some pictures printed and we were home. I put the photos in the frame and hung it on the wall. So nice. Then I turned on the oven and set to making a crustless quiche. Trying to be healthly-minded, I cut back on the bacon, sauteed the leeks in vegetable oil and a pat of butter and used 3 egg whites instead of the 2 egg yokes the recipe called for. I put it in the oven and the wait was on. At 40 minutes it didn't look set, so I put it back in for 10 more minutes. At 50 minutes it STILL didn't look set, so I upped the oven tempurature and set the timer AGAIN. Another 10 minutes. I just checked it now.... And thought, maybe I should use a knife in the center to see if it's cooked all the way. And lo and behold!!!! It was set. But just to make sure, it's in there for another 5 minutes. I've made quiche before, but the recipe I used ended up with too much spinach and not enough egg. So keep your fingers crossed that this one turns out. So far so good. As for the attempt at butter making, that will have to wait until next weekend, as I will be out of town this weekend and then working again on Saturday. ...... Later tonight, funfetti cupcakes with turquiose icing. =)
