We made a quiche for dinner a few nights ago - of course, it was delicious. For Valentine's Day two years ago (our first), Louis made a chicken and broccoli quiche. A nice idea, but unfortunately those are two foods I try to avoid (for various reasons). Last week's quiche stepped things up quite a bit: Louis spiced the crust with rosemary (and something else?) and we threw in spinach, mushrooms, and turkey bacon. For cheese we used Cheddar and Gruyere - a tasty and pungent combo.

Over these past two years, Louis and I have learned quite a bit about each other, and from each other. I would say that this quiche represents how far our relationship has come since February 2007. We are both more willing to try things we previously did not like (me: mushrooms, Louis: spinach, turkey bacon, rosemary, etc. etc.). For the most part, we are an excellent cooking team; we've gotten very good at going with the flow (Gruyere in a quiche? Why not?), and we are willing to compromise in order to please each other (bacon? no way. turkey bacon? ok.).

Thanks to everyone who puts up with our sometimes incessant banter - and thank you, Louis, for putting up with me this far. You deserve a medal for your willingness to join me on food adventures.
