Last week I prepared a quiche with diced ham, sautéed mushrooms and sautéed
shallot. It was ok, nothing spectacular, but I ate it just the same. Meh.

There was enough ham and mushrooms left over to make one more quiche which
I did Tuesday evening. This time I added 3 or 4 dashes of dried thyme,
baked it, let it cook for about 30 minutes or so before slicing. It was
really disappointing but I refrigerated the rest.

Thursday evening I decide to eat another slice and if it was as disagree-
able as it was Tuesday it would go in the garbage for Friday pickup. Oh
my, the thorough chilling improved the taste immeasurably! I was tempted
to add a dash or two of granulated garlic but thought I would just go with
the thyme. Maybe next time.

I've noticed that many dishes, while are good right away, are
often better the next day. Notably, chili, my recent pork chops
with mushroom gravy. Even beef stew and homemade spaghetti sauce.
Good now but even better later.

The overnight rest and blend really does benefit many things. Too
bad for the few here that don't eat leftovers....their loss.

I jes wanna say, here, that I can see why yer quiche was so boring. Try
bacon/grn onions/mushrooms.

MEAT PART
------------

!/2 lb bacon, fried crispy, and put aside fer crumbling back into
custard mix.

1 whole bunch of grn onions, cut 1/2 inch, added to skillet after
mushrooms are fried.

9 oz of sliced mushrooms, cooked until the water is evaporated.

(most any veggie requires pan frying until moisture is driven out)

==============

ANY QUICHE

4 ozs of sharp cheddar (mixed in)

4 0zs of Parmasan (two oz mixed in, 2 oz sprinkled on top).

-------------

The MEAT PART is whatever. Salmon/asparagus. Crab/blue cheese. Etc.

No thyme necessary ....or.....

Just don't eat it on the day you make it. That way it's not leftovers,
but delayed eating.

Add potato salad and slaw to that list of foods that improve with a
thorough chilling.

Leftovers don't bother me in the least as it means I don't have to cook
a meal every single night. That childhood admonishment of "clean your
plate" has paid off all these years later.

My diced ham was lightly cooked in a touch of oil and a small pat of
butter. I sampled after cooling and had a hard time keeping my hand
out of the bowl. But this time I had no onions of any sort to put in
the mixture but it turned out great after snoozing in the 'frig for 2
days.

Exactly. Some things don't hold up well or reheat well, but many
improve with time. I also like to make some things ahead so I don't have
to make a full meal every night.

A roast may be a leftover on a second night and then sandwiches the
third, hash in a morning. Same with chicken. Quiche can be breakfast,
lunch, or dinner.

Blueberry pancakes reheat well in the toaster for a really easy breakfast.

One reason people have poor luck is reheating in the microwave the wrong
way. The plop it in, set the time and blast away on high. Cut the
power and heat it slowly for better results.

Yes!

I have found that a minute or two, maybe three works exceptionally well with
the power being at 60%. If it's a steak or pork chop that has been cooked
on the charcoal grill, 40% power is even better. Thorough heating without cooking it beyond recognition.

I roasted a smaller turkey today, 13 pounds. I sliced it up to send to a
potluck that I didn't attend due to the terrible air, I rubbed it all over
with butter that had thyme in it, really a nice flavor, I used the carcass
to make some turkey soup. I made dumplings to go with it and a green salad,
we had it for dinner. The soup is so good, turkey carcasses make great soup.
I will be eating it for a few days, since it is always better the next day
too. Now, I am sick of fooling around with a turkey, so will not have that
for Thanksgiving.

While stews improve somewhat on the 2nd and 3rd days, I *never* reheat
roast meats nor make stews of them. After that first meal, leftovers
subsequently are always eaten cold at my table. Reheated roast/grilled
meats have a very unattractive flavour to my taste. In that, I follow my
father.

She's stated several times that eggs are her only "true allergy".
So quiche advice from her is Extra Special USDA Grade AA Prime

Not everybody can taste that. I certainly can. I only reheat meat if
it's in some strongly flavored sauce, and then very, very gently.

Makes sense. It's the flavour of an aging corpse. You need a strong
sauce to cover that up.

I can. I never reheat roasted meat because of it. To me it takes on
a flavor of overcooked venison or lamb.

Good call. Likewise, the Swiss. Can't say anything good about the Jack.

Which is why I sed, ".....or.....". Thyme is good for anything. I
always have some on hand. Often, it's the only herb I'll use. I've
never tried it in a quiche.

Usually, my quiches are ready to eat. They are good, hot or cold. But,
I'll remember yer recipe using thyme and remember to let the flavors
"marry", overnight (which I usually do on dishes requiring it).

I buy my herbs/spices at my local HFS. Typically, the price is less
than $1 /oz. The sprmkt price for sage is about $35 /oz in those little
McCormick cans. 8|

I haven't decided yet, what are you having? I am not close to the fire, a
little over a hundred miles or so, but the smoke is stuck in the valley so
the air is terrible where I am, so staying inside. It's been a nightmare for
the people impacted with losing homes, lives etc., so sad.

I like to reheat beef, chicken and turkey gently in gravy. I make a
curry sauce to heat up leftover lamb. Meatloaf can be reheated in the
oven, in a microwave or sliced and heated on a frying pan.

Not likely Julie ever bought "one" quiche (or anything else).
More likely she ordered a whole case from Amazon, "for cheap" (sic).

No, I know you're not, also I did think about you not celebrating
Thanksgiving after I posted, but you will eat that day, so what will you
have this coming Thursday. ;-)

Let me re-explain. Reheated roast tastes to me of venison that has
grazed in a pine forest or of mutton.

Hmmm. I don't know about the combination of ham and thyme. Can't say
I've ever thought of the two together. Perhaps it was the chilling of
the egg custard? Then again, I tend to prefer quiche served hot or at
least at room temp.

As was I, upon discovering what I actually paid fer sprmkt spices. It's
typically three or four dollars fer a tiny can of ground spices weighing
about a tenth of an ounce.

I looked the last time I went to the store. They no longer even carry
McCormicks regular spice line at my local sprmkt. Only artisan (higher
priced) and house-brand (lower priced) spices. Plus, sage is pretty
much gone, anywho, what with T-day only about a wk away.

Health food stores (HFS) sometime sell large bags of thyme. I'm jes
finishing off a 1/2 lb bag of organic thyme. A great herb!

We use Savory Spice Shop here and do a bulk local order then split at
my house. Same sort of thing with Yeast, bulk order in 2lb amounts,
split and put in freezer. It's 2.50 a jar that way.

Nonsense. I've made it before. It's nobody's favorite food though.

Bullshit. I have no true food allergies. Eggs make me violently ill though
so I don't eat them. That doesn't stop me from making them though.
