Yesterday rIAm stayed at home, and when we chatted in the afternoon, we decided we should cook up some stuff in the fridge before walking to a store. We had broccoli and mushrooms that should be used, plus today, Wednesday, we have late classes and leftovers are kind of critical.
Anyhow, neither of us were too interested in doing much cooking, nor did we get overly enthused about pasta e broccoli, typically one of our favorites. rIAm suggested a simple broccoli in butter bread crumbs, a dish that takes about 10 minutes and 3 ingredients. I suggested sautéing the mushrooms with a bit of the wine left over in our fridge, and if we wanted something to go with all this we could heat up some leftovers.
rIAm agreed, neither of us were totally satisfied, but it sounded tasty enough. and rIAm issued this one edict: “I don’t feel like being creative tonight,” referring to the kitchen and also a general disinterest in doing much cooking.
So naturally, when I called on my way home I find out rIAm has come up with the briliant idea to make a quiche. A mushroom, broccoli and cheese quiche. Oh. My. God. It was unfreakingbelievably good. And there was enough broccoli to have some butter bread crumbs on the side!
Not creative?! Right. Don’t be creative every night.
rIAm — so nice to have initals that spell something.
