Day 3 - Quiche Lorraine & Chocolate Eclairs

07 July 2010



















It is SAVOURY WEDNESDAY! but I couldn't help myself after receiving a spontaneous order from Julie for chocolate eclairs when I went upstairs.

I decided to make quiche lorraine for the first time and looked up a simple recipe to which I added extra onions and fresh chopped dill... it was surprisingly fast and easy and people seemed to have liked it judging from the response! Also, I made extra portions to cater for level 3 after I went upstairs to sort out some civil landscape issues, I realised there's plenty more potential mouths to feed! (and $ to be made!), I even made the effort to take it upstairs... but I think the honesty system doesn't work so well up there - please don't steal from the less fortunate whoever you were!!!

Anyway, amount raised was $79.35 - Thank you!
Still struggling with my $input and $return ratio, will need to look into better planning this weekend.

Photos are a bit fugly taken in a rush in between serving... and bits came off after reheating in the oven *frown*



There was some drama with my pastry cream filling as well - my original batch that I was making around midnight turned into a vomit texture because I didn't want to follow the instructions...*slaps own face* so I woke up early after having a few hours sleep to remake the pastry cream, put it in the freezer to cool faster, pipped it into the eclairs, and dipped them in melted dark chocolate! all before rushing off to work...
