friday is often an oats day (ummm, sometimes every day is an oats day . . ) and is dedicated to venus: "she lives in the realm of beauty, in art and in play, and she is the mother of all green sprouting and growing vegetation," (page 65 from emma graf's cooking with grains).
chanda worked on her borders in her greek mythology lesson book . . (i was told that her hands just could not handle writing today . . . hmmmm). she also stitched in two watercolors she had painted (one from a week ago, and one from yesterday).
and after all chores and schoolwork were done, we had tea with the last slices of banana bread.
chanda is reading a history of magic, by bathilda bagshot . . 
but on closer inspection it seems to be a book that belongs to aunt kathy . . 
ah ha! it's a nancy drew book in disguise!
dinner for tonight was an onion quiche from the very first vegetarian cookbook i owned, which my mom gave me many years ago. i took it off the shelf this week to peruse it for dinner ideas.
and i did use cream!
chanda made the dough for the pie crust, while i sliced onions.
i must say, chanda and morgana make a much nicer crust than i do!
then you grate the cheese. we used a very nice raclette that i had ordered this week from fresh direct (i have a 25% off coupon that is good for two orders, along with free shipping. it was nice for this week since we hadn't made it to the coop).
saute the onions,
put on the sliced tomatoes, and it's ready for baking.
we were four for dinner. greg was at the coop, working a shift.
after chanda made the crust, and grated the cheese, i stood around to saute the onions. my birthday present last summer was this tivoli ipal radio. my old radio no longer was able to get the classical music station after they changed stations, and i found this one on amazon for a very good price. i guess no one wanted pink!i love listening to WQXR while cooking, unless someone is playing an instrument . .
