Eggs and Salmon

I was somewhat remiss in my duties last week.
I forgot to take pictures of the potluck brunch after a weekend morning at the spa with the girls. There were beautiful foods at this brunch, and they must only be brought to mind with memory and no photos. Like the old days. (Sigh). My contribution was warm gingerbread (which really deserves its own post someday) and some devilled eggs filled with smoked salmon. The devilled eggs were quite delightful - I hadn't really thought too much of eggs and salmon before, but they were a tasty delight.

And subsequently, the inspiration for the following quiche a few days later:


I like making quiche. I pride myself on my pastry. Rarely attractive, but usually quite flaky.

This particular pie wasn't too flaky - the pastry ball was approaching freezer burn after living in the freezer for several months - but I thought this photo demonstrated the unattractive quality of my pastry, at the very least. This quiche was loaded up with Swiss cheese, red peppers, dill and chopped up smoked salmon.
Add some green salad, and you got yourself a nice early-spring supper.
