I’m wearing wool socks on June 16th, 2019. It’s 58\u00b0. This is complemented by the memory of equally not-right, too-hot days, like 70s in November, biking to work and not even needing to wear gloves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s what the weekend cooking looked like:<\/p>\n

\"\"

Bowl of berries with cream & sugar for Saturday breakfast. First local strawberries from the farmers market; blueberries from the co-op<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Escarole quiche for dinner. We also had leek confit<\/a> and honey roasted cherry tomatoes<\/a> on crostini, and a quick creamy cucumber salad with grated carrots tossed in – a little odd mix of shapes but tasted OK<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>The quiche was pretty standard; my usual pie crust recipe<\/a>, with half the sugar for a savory dish. Roll out the crust, fit it into a 9-10 in. pie pan, and chill it. Dice half an onion and saute in a generous tablespoon of butter, then wilt 4-5 big handfuls of cleaned escarole leaves, chopped, on top, and finally add 4-5 chopped scallions, whites and greens. Season with salt and pepper and maybe a little nutmeg. Stir and remove from the heat and let cool. Grate about 3 oz. Gruyere, and sprinkle it in the bottom of the crust. Add the filling, and then beat 4 eggs with one cup half & half and pour it over. Bake at 375\u00b0 for about 25 minutes, until firm.<\/p>\n

We ate kinda late, because Megan was here for a friend’s bachelorette party – the fiance of one of John’s high school friends, James, who was the guitar player in their high school punk band, Rushmore & the 40s – and the ladies came in between the party and going to meet the guys at a campus area bar, and somehow I wasn’t as good at talking to them and cooking as I thought I was.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning I made lots of muffins and put them out with fruit for people to grab. We were taking Mark out for steak for Father’s Day, so a lighter breakfast was required.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Choice of rhubarb or banana muffins for breakfast<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I had mine with rhubarb lemonade<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And lots of fruit. This arrangement looked like “little middle big” to me<\/p><\/div>\n

At least the cat is extra snuggley, we think because of the cool nights.<\/p>\n
