A customer told me about her daughter making quiche in a case made from wraps, instead of baking one. This fed my curiosity, so I baked my first ever quiche, in an airfryer. Having scorched my 'emergency cake' the other day, I decided to wrap the whole thing in foil. Here you see it as it emerged from about 30 minutes baking.
Here's how:
Oil/grease a baking dish - mine's circular to fit the airfryer.
Line with a soft wrap - I used wholemeal. Try not to tear it, or snip the edges with scissors, if you prefer, to make it easier to hand
Now put it onto a sheet of foil that's big enough to loosely wrap the whole thing.
Fry bacon - I used two bits of back, cooked in the microwave, 3 mins, then allow to cool, and chop.
Chop an onion, and marinade in some oil for a few minutes. Now fry the onion in the microwave, 2 mins, then turn out onto kitchen roll and allow to cool.
(Why cool? If you put the ingredients hot into the batter, you will get scrambled eggs).
In a bowl:
Add an egg, about 150 g of grated cheese - I used Lancashire and Parmesan, about 100 to 120 ml milk (use full fat - you'll thank me).
Add 1/2 tspn (2.5 ml) ground nutmeg.
Beat together and introduce the crumbled/chopped bacon (which has had time to cool a bit), then the tomato (de-seeded to reduce liquid).
No need for salt - there's enough in the bacon and cheese.
Pour the batter into the prepared tray, and wrap with foil.
Lower the assembly into the basket on your baking tray.
In the airfryer:
Cook for 20 mins at 160 C (lower than you would in a normal oven, and it makes for a softer finish - we're not making roof tiles today.)
Now, open the foil wrapper to expose the (anaemic-looking) top, and return for up to 10 mins, to let the top brown.
Use a skewer to check it's all cooked - I like the middle to be a bit mou - it's a matter of taste, really.
Rest for a few minutes, and serve with a nice salad and a glass of chilled rose.
This recipe is enough for two servings. Enjoy =]
Preston town hall. Side door. I'm not convinced that these signs will encourage people to engage with the democratic process. There's also a sign pointing to the information desk inside. Clearly, messaging is not clear!
Three buddies on their way to play. It was an IMPORTANT conversation along the way. This was a SPLIT second before they tore off running for the playground.

I love this handsome tree. you can see that it was cut down once but had regrown from the remaining stump. A real survivor.
Arrived today from World of Books. Haven't played this for many years. Looking forward to getting reacquainted.
After some lovely dry weather, it rained again today. The sound of the water rushing through the pipes was quite musical.
Another trade word I like is 'Haberdasher', but I'll leave that for another day.
I saw this book today and know that I will have to let a book go before I acquire this one. Choices ... (My shelves are full).
Charles de Gaulle once said: "How can anyone govern a nation that has two hundred and forty-six different kinds of cheese?". Obviously, he wasn't paying attention: they have many more than that. And so do the Brits. I think this could be an interesting read.

Butterflies and moths are in serious trouble in England. It was so nice to see this speckled wood close to my front door.
A customer shared his recipe with me and i added my own angle. Here's the result on the cooling rack.
The Kenneth and Avon Canal runs in the south of England between Bristol and Reading.
IDK how long it would take to get here, but it's at least 260 miles away. That's about 2 weeks of steady cruising just to get this far.
You need to run the engine for about 6 hours per day to power the batteries for the fridge and lights and other electrical items.
Many boats have small log burners for heating, which are essential during colder months.

A state holiday always jiggles my rhythms; I thought it was Saturday so I cooked some breakfast.
The damson chilli sauce ran from the bottle quicker than I expected but it was just right with some scrambled eggs and poached field mushrooms.
I went a bit retro today and added a wired mouse to my system. It's a lot bigger than the Apple and other bluetooth mice I already have and it fits my hand better. I thought the wire would be irritating but other than the aesthetics, it works very well.
It was strangely very hard to find an Advent calendar. By chance I found this at Oxfam. The chocolate is very nice and fairly produced.
The colors complement those of my disco light 😁🎄
New kicks - in a sale, of course. When I see 'Goodyear' I immediately think of blimps! They seem to make an awful lot of them.
I've had trouble with my achilles for a month or so, and someone suggested I try a pair of Skechers. They aren't pretty, but I've been walking in them for the last few days and I don't have the same amount of pain when I make dinner now.
Up in the tree safely away from humans and cats is this bat box.
With declining insect populations bats are having a hard time. Local volunteers do what they can to help.
The stew decanted into a bail jar, for storage in the fridge when it cools down a bit.
This should give 5 servings (with some crusty bread, for example). A glass of wine, of course!
"The arts are essential to any complete national life. The State owes it to itself to sustain and encourage them."

While not his greatest fan, he spoke sense in this instance.
Michael Miles hosted a game show on English TV until 1968. There were boxes that sometimes contained prizes and sometimes not. Contestants could open a box or accept a cash offer.
The crowd would go wild, shouting out "open the box!" and "take the money".
There's a row of pretty Georgian cottages opposite the castle. Here is the front door of one of them. I like how a coach lamp has been re-used here. It is now electric instead of oil burning
Notice the plaque above. It is called a fire mark. Before central fire brigades, insurance companies provided this service to paid up customers. The fire mark showed which company covered them and if the policy had been paid. It was not unusual for pumps from several companies to arrive at a fire but they would leave if it was not a customer's house!
