You know that when talking to me, that's not even a confession! That's one of my favorite books. I remember reading it when I was something like 8, and thinking, "That's it? The Mirror is a puddle, and he gets nothing for all that?" Years later, it sunk in.

Actually, I'm reading the Mabinogion (that the Prydain Chronicles draw from) right now. Maybe it's the translation, but it's TERRIBLE. It's actually into Plan 9 From Outer Space realms of bad. It's so bad, that's what's keeping me going.

Like there's this one knight Kai in King Arthur's court, and he's such a flat character that every time he shows up, every single time, it's to be a tool. He exists to get beaten so that other knights can look cool beating the thing he lost to, or to stick his foot down his throat, or to cause other knights to go on quests by saying stupid things. Don't even get me started on the other knights.

So my first experience with quiche was pretty amazing. I'm eager to give it another go (no correct dish in this apartment) and am wondering how well egg-white quiches work. And how daikon goes in quiche. And if I can make quiche in something other than a pie crust - maybe a mashed potato shell or a basket of noodles that were undercooked prior to pouring the quiche in. The quiche, it bids me to experiment on it.

I may have to learn this shortbread crust from you.
