Quiche a la Peter
Work, home, work, home, work, home, work, home, weekend. Such is life, as someone famous once said. Sadly, for my man, it's almost all work and much travel at the moment, for he seems to be away more often than he is home. We're a great team. I miss him dearly when he's away and love it when he's home. On a short spell recently, he quite literally whipped up the BEST quiche I have ever eaten. Perhaps some day I can convince him to jot down the recipe so that we can share it with you, from our kitchen to yours, with love. Pretty please, Peter.
