The mini-guild retreat was Friday/Saturday and I made the quiche lorraine with zucchini crust (I linked recipe on page 31). It was really good made in the right style of pan. Will put the zucchini crust in the keto savory crust thought file. I was a little suspicious of the squash we bought from the farmer's market -- it looked like a zucchini but the skin was tough. When I cut it open, it was not a zucchini! Wasn't sure if the skin was edible or bitter, not that much flesh. So had to run to the store for something I could grate.

I did use my "good" quiche dish which matches my dishes and that I have never actually used before. It came home safely In my move stuff and as I try to establish a new relationship with things, I am trying to use the good stuff. I moved it because I wanted it as a useful item.

For today, it was supposed to be a beastly day outside with temperatures dropping and possible snow. Current forecast is slightly better, but we will be celebrating the hubby's Bday (which was Tuesday) with the Turducken I ordered for him. It has thawed in the fridge and is fully cooked, but will take about 2 hours of heating up.

@tropit I've almost given in on the food processor several times... Once we have more garden/vegetables that need dealing with, my desire will probably go up. Once we get our freezer and start buying half animals, I am more likely to get a meat grinder. Currently I have one of the old metal ones that clamps to the counter, it has been in my possession since I left Alaska in 1983 -- think my Mom bought it in the 70s?? still works like a champ! I might give into hubby thinking we should have a Kitchen Aid mix master and all (or at least a lot of) the attachments. I do have a vintage stand mixer, small size, you could just barely do a cake mix package in it, that I have honestly never used but did move with us! I could give that up and the counter/draw space for more attachments.
