Quiche Lorraine

One of my proudest funny moments was when I was telling Clint about the two types of quiche served at one of my favorite restaurants. I told him there was quiche lorraine and cheese pie. He asked me what cheese pie was and I quickly replied, "Quiche without the lorraine."

We laughed quite a bit. Sometimes we still laugh about it.

Anyway, tonight I'm making quiche lorraine. For the first time ever I am making homemade quiche. I've made it from pour-a-quiche but I have a really hard time finding that at the grocery store, so I finally decided to suck it up and make it from a recipe.

Have I mentioned how much I love my Better Crocker Bridal Edition cookbook? It is amazing. I have made many a tasty meals from it. Here are some of the delicious recipes I've made from the cookbook:
1. Mixed Roasted Vegetables & Pasta
2. Mexican Casserole
3. Cheese Enchiladas
4. Potato Chip Chicken
5. Pumpkin Bars
6. Garden Saute Patch

There are more I'm sure. But you should check out the cookbook for sure, if you enjoy cooking. Amazon has them used for like 10 bucks. Totally worth it. Definitely let me know if you have a cookbook that you love, too.

I love love

I am so incredibly, undeniably in love with my husband. Which works out, since, you know, we're married. But really, I do love him. I never fathomed a love like this. I always prayed I would marry a man with certain characteristics, but I think I never once prayed for a love like this. God has been so good to us, giving us stuff we don't even ask for. There are so many things I asked for in a husband and now that I'm with Clint I see so many things I didn't even think of asking for that are enormously complimentary to my personality. God knows me so much better than I know me.

I will say, though, there is definitely an element of fear that comes with a love as intense as this. I am so afraid of losing him. I anticipated this, though. It was one of my hesitations when he asked me out on our first date. I argued with him about the risk and he convinced me to take the chance. You know, better to have loved and lost . . .

I never thought for one second that I could comprehend God's love for me but that incomprehensibility is now even more so. I never knew a love like mine and Clint's. It has blown my mind. And this is just an earthly love. God's love is so beyond that. It's mind-boggling.
