Gene Hackman has died. He was found, along with his wife (Betsy Arakawa) and dog (unnamed), in their Santa Fe home. He was 95 and battling dementia. While the Sante Fe police have said they have found nothing suspicious, it all sounds very suspicious to me. The couple were found in different rooms, for a start, and their front door was ajar. I haven’t read or heard anything about the dog.
Anyway, enough of that awful news.
Today I made a salmon and broccoli crustless quiche, from a recipe by the very talented Géraldine Leverd. I test ran a few of her recipes in June last year, in preparation for a cookbook that is due for release in April. Her food is delicious, and, generally, pretty easy.
The reason I decided to try her quiche is because it has hardly any carbs. And lots of protein. These are two important factors in Chez Gaz meals. It was also an excellent dinner given Mirinda was at uni today and she’d had a big salad for lunch and a quiche was perfect to have for a light meal.
And, when I took it out of the oven, it looked almost as good as the photo on Géraldine’s website (see the above link and judge for yourself). Okay, my broccoli is more submerged and the onion not as decorative but, still…
We ate about three quarters of it, so I can try the rest cold for lunch tomorrow.
I’d call that a success.
