Calum's Quiche and Pie Crust Recipe

Calum though it would be fun to make a quiche however he failed to calculate what it would taste like. He doesn't really like eggs and they are the main ingreident. We added bacon, onion and cheese so I was hopeful he would give it at try but no such luck. Well at least he tried. Hadley on the other hand loved it! The inspiration was a book they were reading called The Bone Handbook by Jeff Smith. I made the quiche with a crust recipe I have been using for year with a trick i leatd

ned from a friend Cherly. The trick in to use a cheese grater for the butter and then add the flour. With all the extra surface space the mixing takes no time, leaving you with a very flaky crust. 

Super Flakey Crust for Pies or Quiche

3/4 cup Butter (add 1 tsp salt if unsalted) 

2 cups Flour 

6 Tablespoons Iced Water

MIx Butter and Flour into a fine mixture then add the water to make two balls. Wrap and set in the frig for 30 minutes before rolling out for crust. Makes two. You can freeze and take out before you want to use it. 

Today we drove in to Geneva. We took a long walk around the down town area on the edge of the lake and the boys tried out their camara and the new benoculars that Uncle Ben gave Hadley for Christmas. It was super windy and starting to warm up, about 60 degrees.
