Quiche and Beer
Sunday night I made ravioli. I didn't just boil some water and throw in pre-packaged, storebought cardboard immitation ravioli; I made ravioli* from a pile of flower. I only used about half of the spinach, artichoke, ricotta filling.
Instead of wasting the filling, I decided to make a quiche** using what was left of the eggs and half and half. It came out of the oven perfectly risen and golden brown. But since I already had ravioli, the quiche went straight into the refridgerator.
Tonight, after working a marathon session of 13 hours-- its been a while since I've been at the office that long-- I came home searching the refridgerator for a beer. Instead, I found the quiche. Topped with kraft singles,*** it was delicious.
But lest you think I'm on my way to join the fab five team, I did find the beer. The last beer. There is nothing like thinking you have no beer only to find the last one. Sure, two beers is better than one beer, but lets face it, nothing beats finding the last beer in the refridgerator.
* I made my ravioli triangular in shape just to be fun, and also it seemed like a great idea since a large rectangle made 2 ravioli instead of 1. However, they didn't seal quite so well and there was too much noodle to too little filling. But they were still really good.
** Ok, so I used frozen pie crust. But still, it was quick thinking considering I was getting ready to throw our the left over filling.
*** Kraft singles may not seem like something a person who makes ravioli by hand has in stock, excepting of course, that Kraft singles are amazing. And made of cheese.
