Yesterday I was standing in the checkout lane at the grocery store. I was browsing the magazines on display.
I did a double take. Heidi Klum wants me to do what?
Heidi Klum wants me to have sex in an igloo.
I think Heidi Klum is beautiful and great and I love “Project Runway”. However:
1) Personally I don’t see how it is any of her business.
2) How would I even find an igloo?
3) Now I will never be able to shake the image of Heidi Klum and Seal doing it in an igloo.
4) What the hell? How is that a magazine article? Note to self: Marie Claire is most likely a stupid magazine.
And I apologize for the blurry picture. I took it with my phone. As usual, I feel certain that the person behind me in the line thinks I am a lunatic.

* The punchline from my favorite joke. Also hilarious because the mighty Heidi Klum is married to Seal

Good lord, did you people actually ask me for a recipe? I’ll have you know I am not known for my cooking skills.
Either way, this is based on a recipe for Ham and Cheese Quiche that I found in “Joy of Cooking”, but I think it is better my way. Here goes nothing:
Sarah and the Goon Squad’s (they watched) Ham and Gruyere Quiche
1 pie crust (you can make this, but it is way easier to just buy one)
4 oz. diced cooked ham
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups heavy cream (or 3/4 cups cream and 1/2 cup milk)
1 cup Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup diced onion
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Preheat over to 375 degrees. Saute onions in olive oil or butter and throw in the ham when the onions start to soften up*. Put the ham and onions in the bottom of the pie shell. Put the cheese on top of the ham and onions.
In a small bowl beat three large eggs with the cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pout this mixture on top of the stuff that is already in the pie crust.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Then you will need to let it sit for a while to let it set up.
* I haven’t tried this yet, but Gabe and I both think it would have been better if I added a pinch of cayenne pepper when I was sauteing the ham and onions. Make sure you add some salt and pepper to the onions too.

Ta da! My first recipe. Well, the first recipe I have put on my blog anyway. I hope you like it. If you are eating it for dinner a salad with field greens or a spring mix and figs, walnuts, crumbled bleu cheese and a sweet vinaigrette is a great compliment.
I ate it with a Sauvignon Blanc and Gabe was drinking Shiraz. I don’t think either was a great pairing. Let me know if you find a wine that goes well with it.
Don’t worry. I’ll put away my inner foodie and talk about my kids saying bad words or football again later today. I am also planning a new contest, and I actually have cool prizes for this one. I have three copies of The Ghost in the House by Tracy Thompson that are signed by the author! Yes, I had dinner with Tracy, who is a wonderful writer and super cool in real life too.
Okay, this post is getting really complicated. Go eat, drink and be merry.
