Cord’s Life

Me and my friend Tony are drinking a wonderful new drink I just invented called a Drunken Toucan. The recipe is:

1 part rum ( we used Cruzan, really good for the money)
1 part coconut milk (new milk subsistute or actual coconut milk)
2 parts pineapple, orange, banana juice

Serve mixed, on the rocks, or blended with ice.

I recently discovered that my roommate owns a nice waffle iron. So this year for 4/20 we made an organic epic feast.

I made buckwheat waffles with mixed berries and real maple syrup and real homemade whipped cream, bacon, ham steak, scrambled eggs with optional Tillamook cheese, and cranberry orange scones.

It was ridiculously good! Since then I have been making waffles most mornings, they are amazing!

The somewhat new game Dominion is really awesome! In Dominion, each player starts with an identical, very small deck of cards. In the center of the table is a selection of other cards the players can “buy” as they can afford them. Through their selection of cards to buy, and how they play their hands as they draw them, the players construct their deck on the fly, striving for the most efficient path to the precious victory points by game end. You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a ruler of a small pleasant kingdom of rivers and evergreens. Unlike your parents, however, you have hopes and dreams! You want a bigger and more pleasant kingdom, with more rivers and a wider variety of trees. You want a Dominion! In all directions lie fiefs, freeholds, and feodums. All are small bits of land, controlled by petty lords and verging on anarchy. You will bring civilization to these people, uniting them under your banner. But wait! It must be something in the air; several other monarchs have had the exact same idea. You must race to get as much of the unclaimed land as possible, fending them off along the way. To do this you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill the coffers of your treasury.

This is my own recipe for quiche, enjoy! Quiche is better the more liquid you can remove from the filling. Use the Flaky Butter Pie Crust Recipe I posted before this as your crust.

Filling:

• 4 eggs
• 1.5 cups half & half or 0.75 cups milk and 0.75 cups cream
• salt to taste
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• red (cayenne) pepper to taste
• corn (kernels, whole or creamed)
• onion (diced)
• cheese (torn or shredded)

Optional Additions: (really anything you like, but make sure to remove as much liquid as possible for the best quiche!)

In a large mixing bowl combine eggs, half & half (or milk and cream), salt and black and red peppers. Stir thoroughly. Saute the onion in light butter until it is translucent. Place on a paper towel or strainer to remove as much liquid as possible. Quiche will have a hard time setting-up if it has too much liquid from the filling, so anything that is likely to add water should be cooked first. I steam: broccoli, saute: onion, mushrooms, zucchini, cook till crisp and crumble: bacon
