eggwash: one hundred pies project:  scape and asparagus quiche My friend and I had a farmer’s market date and then I made breakfast afterwards (you have to go before 9am in Madison or it’s too massive a swarm).  They still had scapes, which are the tender tops of young garlic plants.  They have a sweet, garlicky, and oniony flavor. I made too much dough with not enough fat, but I don’t even care, because the filling of this quiche was fluffy and delicious.  I also got a chance to use my new tart dish.  I love it! I tried egg washing both sides of the crust—I can’t tell if it made the bottom crust soggier or assuaged some of its lack of fat.  Who knows.  I’ll try it again sometime. Scape and Asparagus Quiche 1 pie crust (I made my own, but it sucked so I’m not going to give directions for it)4 eggs, one separated1 cup of milk2 cups of shredded cheese, scant (I just used up a few leftover bags in the fridge, cheddar, provolone, and some parmesan)5 asparagus stalks3 scapes1/8 tsp nutmegsalt and pepper to taste Chop the scapes and asparagus.  Make the pie crust and chill.  Whisk milk, three eggs, and one egg yolk, reserving the white.  Add cheese, spices, scapes, and asparagus.  Line pie pan and brush crust with egg white.  Pour in egg mixture.  Bake at 375 F until the crust is light brown and the eggs have puffed up, about 30 minutes.  Let cool.  EAT. i decided to just have a full-fledged food tumblr.  if you’ve been following the one hundred pies project, i’ll continue it there (and occasionally post the exceptional ones over here).  I’m also going to try to frequently write out recipes, though I don’t really follow them, even my own.

Scape and Asparagus Quiche

1 pie crust (I made my own, but it sucked so I’m not going to give directions for it)
4 eggs, one separated
1 cup of milk
2 cups of shredded cheese, scant (I just used up a few leftover bags in the fridge, cheddar, provolone, and some parmesan)
5 asparagus stalks
3 scapes
1/8 tsp nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste

Chop the scapes and asparagus.  Make the pie crust and chill.  Whisk milk, three eggs, and one egg yolk, reserving the white.  Add cheese, spices, scapes, and asparagus.  Line pie pan and brush crust with egg white.  Pour in egg mixture.  Bake at 375 F until the crust is light brown and the eggs have puffed up, about 30 minutes.  Let cool.  EAT.

dean spade wrote in this essay that he spends a lot of time imagining people on the subway through the eyes of someone that loves them and i’m trying it out right now on the bus and it’s such a good thing, if you’re in public right now look at everyone else like you’re in love with them wow wow everyone looks so neat and comfy i want to see them sleeping in bed and eating eggs and crying during finding nemo

my voter registration isn’t showing up on wisconsin’s registered voter page

but i think you can still register at the polls.  in any case i am bringing all my utility bills and lease and ids that i have.

if you live in wisconsin, today is the last day to early vote for the recall election!  so vote today or vote tuesday!  i can’t live with myself if walker stays governor.  quite literally because he slashed my health care.

sorting through my papers, correspondence, tax returns, and photos from the last few years.  lots of feelings.  avoiding reading the letters my mother wrote me. dr. tolliver taught me, above all, the ability and necessity in taking a long time to finish something.  and the power of quietness.  i’m keeping all of his papers he gave back to me, which are covered in 8-point red perfect script handwriting in .75 inch blocks in the margins.
