The Zender Family Visit

The Zender Family came for a short visit on their travels across the country.  We really enjoyed their visit and meeting Luke (7 mo) for the first time.  They are such great people and have reallly helped with Gma and her home in Ohio.

What we've been cooking!

Stuffed french toast - Arn

'Clean out the Fridge' - quiche

Arn made some pretty good stuffed french toast (Arlene's recipe is better) - he used some clementine preserves to sweeten the cream cheese stuffing.  Next time we'll use a french bread or challah bread -  the thoughtfullness was pretty sweet too!
I always make my own pie crust and decided to clean out the fridge and make a quiche. 
Pie Crust Recipe - 2 cups flour, 1 cup shortening (can use half shortening and half butter) and cold water (start with 1/4 cup).  Mix flour and shortening with pastry blender, then add cold water.  Roll out and save one for later in the freezer.  Makes 2.
