Those clowns all think there are easy answers out there. Like truth is something there’s a recipe for, and they can’t understand why the rest of us get it wrong.

HELEN'S QUICHE LORRAINE (from Split Thirty)

Preheat oven to 375. Line a 9 inch pie plate with pastry. Bake for 30 minutes.

Cook 4 strips of bacon until crisp. Cook an onion, thinly sliced. Crumble the bacon, the onion, one cup of cubed Gruyere cheese, and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the baked shell.

Combine 4 eggs, lightly beaten, 1 cup of milk, one cup of cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper; and pour it over the shell. Bake for 45 minutes and serve immediately.

Makes one quiche (I guess). Goes well with Scotch.
