Two for Tuesday - The RomanticsNovember 11

Ever hear of a little band from Detroit called The Romantics? Hear either of these songs just once and they'll be stuck in your head for days, maybe weeks! Just wait... later on tomorrow night sometime after you mistakenly think you've finally exorcised the beast, you'll start singing again out of the clear blue and then you'll shake your fists at me.

Can you believe they are still touring together?

The Big LebowskiNovember 7

Did you know that a lot of the Dude's clothes were from Jeff Bridges's own closet, including the jelly shoes? More Lebowski trivia here.

I'm going to make it to one of these Lebowski Fests some year.

Crustless Spinach and Broccoli QuicheNovember 5

I was at a friends baby shower recently and my taste buds fell in lust with the mini-muffin-pan quiches the hostesses served. Not only were they cute as heck, but delicious to boot. It was then that I realized I'd never attempted to made a quiche myself. Well, that just had to be remedied!

Here is a recipe that is simple, quick, and yumz. You don't even have to make a pie crust.

You'll need:
1 Tbs. Vegetable oil
1/2 small onion (I chopped up a few slices from a large white)
1 10 oz. pkg of frozen spinach thawed and drained
OR 8 cups fresh spinach, chopped
Florets of half a head of broccoli, chopped or broken
5 eggs
3 cups shredded cheese (like sharp cheddar, swiss, ricotta, feta or mozzarella)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper

Preheat oven to 350°
Lightly grease 9" pie pan or muffin tin

Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add chopped onions and cook until soft.
Stir in spinach and broccoli. Cook until excess moisture has evaporated.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then combine the cheese, salt and pepper.
Add the spinach mixture and stir.
Scoop into pan.

Bake in preheated oven until eggs have set, aprox. 30 - 35 minutes.
Cool 10 minutes before serving.
