I just got out of the oven the most delicious spinach and cheese quiche. It has eggs, cream, milk and plenty of diced cheese.
I was hating myself while I beat the egg whites, standing in front of the counter top while my legs hurt.
But all is well that ends well. I finished cooking, placed the quiche in the oven and came to my bed.
When the quiche was done I cut and ate part of it. Delicious!
It is easy to make it if your legs don´t hurt. Standing is the worst thing that I can do.
I will now take a late nap. Luna has been fed but she is not interested.
See you later, friends. Take care.

I only ever use 1% milk, as I have to watch my calories.@marguicha (230350)

I don´t mind about calories when I cook but eat less.

How much cream do you use? And could you substitute whole milk instead?

I add about 3 tablespoons of thick cream and a bit of milk. I haven´t made it with just milk. Cream is more savoury. I buy tiny cartons of cream and I can make 2 pies with one of them.

@marguicha cream is expensive. Milk isn't. And we already ?uy it.

If anyone ever needed a tall kitchen stool to sit on to prep foods in comfort, it’s you. Think about getting one, please.
I am sure the quiche is delicious!

I think you should give it another try. You have to take care of your legs, and standing in one spot is very hard on legs.

I almost added mushrooms too but I have some blue cheese so I´m going to bake the mushrooms with blue cheese.

@marguicha My favorite is the classic Quiche Lorraine, eggs, cream, onions, bacon and cheese.

Quiches are delicious. But the ones I like best are onion quiches. But those are harder for my legs. I have to caramelize several onions.

@JudyEv I know.
But right now I used the TENS on my legs (almost on my feet) and I feel better.

My body is getting quite old. I have arthrosis AND fibromyalgia, whatever that is.

@marguicha It's hard getting older - and it's never going to get any easier or better.

I can relate to your health challenges trying to standing for a long time when your legs hurt.

My knees always hurt. But if I stand for too long, my back also hurts

@marguicha Your tingling could be coming from your back.

It looks delicious. Looks similar to a pizza slice . Is it similar in taste as well ? And your description has only increased my appetite! I suggest you try beating the egg whites while sitting in a chair . In fact , doing things witha little bit rest is also better as it helps us from getting tired plus easier on us .I have not tried quiche . I have had tortillas , quesdillas and burritoes . These ones I had where from Mexican restaurants and I believe some of these are also available in Chile and South American restaurants . I have not tried yet any dish from Chile. Will try by checking the recipe online. You have a great day ahead!

Not quite. It is more like a pie because it does not have oregano. Just eggs, cream and/or milk and cheese. And the spinach. All over a crust. We have some nice dishes here.

That´s what I thought when I was eating it. But not when I was making it.

i'm glad you enjoyed your meal and hopefully your nap too.
i would ask why don't you try to do things while sitting if your legs hurt, but you probably have your reasons.
i also do everything standing. i remember the time when i asked my brother to peel the potatoes and he moved the chair next to the counter top and started peeling. it was so weird and funny to see it, but he always tries to make things as easy as possible
