Asparagus with eggs, take two… Yes, I have a thing for eggs and asparagus. While a traditional quiche is ideal for Sunday brunch, this crustless version is perfect for a fast weeknight supper — just serve with a side salad and some bread. Of course, if you’re more prepared than I, you can make this with a pre-made frozen pie crust.
Recipe: Crustless Asparagus Quiche
Ingredients:
1 bunch asparagus
2 stalks green garlic
4 large eggs
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup milk
sea salt and pepper
Instructions: Preheat oven to 375. Oil 8-inch square glass baking dish.
Heat olive oil in skillet over medium high heat. Sauté asparagus, stirring once or twice, until partly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add garlic to pan for the last 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Fold in ricotta, then garlic and asparagus. Pour into baking dish and cook 25-30 minutes, until set and puffy. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Makes 6 servings. Enjoy!
Farms of Origin: eggs, Valentine’s Country Meats; milk, South Mountain Creamery; ricotta, Blue Ridge Dairy; asparagus, Black Rock Orchard; green garlic, Farm at Sunnyside (all but milk from the Falls Church Farmers Market).

If you live in an region exactly where the temperatures turn into bitter chilly, your dog can put
on coats and jackets over sweatshirts and sweaters.
For the most part, dogs that spend most of their time indoors and
have become accustomed to their controlled environment or older ones, that are a
little more sensitive, may need extra protection like dogs
sweaters in very cold weather. Forecasting is done in the business world all the time; on
the personal financial side, it’s a little different.

In Australia and New Zealand the word “lounge” can be used to refer to either a the sofa or couch or the room
it is in. While most sleeper mechanisms are essentially the same, there are some
things you should do on the show-floor to make sure you are getting a
sleeper sofa you will like. as functionality and nature are the name of the game.

Everyone forgot that the boys were supposed to get the wind chime in the conservatory; they only remembered that the friends had gone where
only some had spied the mansion through the gates. What
