Before we make the cross country move, I figured it was important to get the Peanut to at least one game at Fenway. Unfortunately, her experience was very much like my first trip to Fenway with the Sox blowing a lead late and losing a key game in the heart of the playoff race. On the bright side, we got an early start on our tour of all MLB stadiums.

Ironically, this enormous tree came down because the ground/roots were so wet that a calm breeze was able to knock it over. Weight of the tree crushed the car roof and popped all four tires. It’s a bummer, it seemed like a very old (and large) tree that was actually in pretty good health.

Spinach, Artichoke and Caramelized Onion Quiche on Sweet Potato Crust.

Flavors were definitely on, but the crust was modestly undercooked. I pre-baked it on its own for 20 minutes at 350. Probably needed to be at 400 degrees. After pouring in the custard, it clearly was a little bit soft and didn’t really continue to bake with the rest of the quiche.

I used skim milk rather than whole or heavy cream for the custard and it was still plenty rich. I think they key was going with three eggs and two egg yolks, rather than 4 eggs.

Still excellent cold the next day.

Had some friends over last night. Was planning to grill, but thunderstorms kept us in the kitchen. Used the ground turkey to make some Baked Stuffed Bell Peppers. Surprisingly filling and tasty. I think next time I will coat the top with salsa before baking to add a little extra moisture, but they were still tasty.

Grilled Cajan Shrimp with a Farro Salad. Salad is tossed with a homemade lemon citrus vinaigrette.

Shrimp are tossed in a homemade Cajan sauce. Saved a little extra to drizzle over the pile of shrimp right off the grill.
