Bluemoon, This was the most delicious quiche I have ever made! Absolutley worth every minute of cooking. This is a stunner. I served this to my PTO officers at the 1st meeting of the year with my Recipe #341044 and iced tea with mint. Perfect lunch! Everyone went home with the recipe and the website address.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
