I made seven dozen mini-quiche today

Vince lost two brothers in two days. One has been put to rest and the other will be buried on Tuesday. The family is catering for the wake and today I made 8 dozen mini-quiches to help out. I’ll take seven dozen with us. They’re in the freezer at the moment. Wakes are tricky as it’s impossible to know how many will turn up. The brother was a Clerk of Courts in the town and will be remembered by many, I’m sure. Two of the seven children have fly-in-fly-out jobs on remote mine-sites which accounts for the delayed date for the funeral. The photo is of the mini-quiches that I made on a different occasion.

That is terrible news and in such a sort time. I do like quiche and those minis look well tasty

They shared a birthday three years apart but were much older than Vince. They'd both been unwell for quite some time.

@JudyEv I was wondering if there were instructions and whether they were being followed. I just didn't think it would be my place to ask questions like that. (I've left instructions with Pretty and with my brother and SIL but I'm not sure they'll follow my wishes.) Sometimes instructions by the loved one are followed and sometimes they're completely disregarded.

@DaddyEvil Fair enough. We intend to write out our instructions but it's anybody's guess whether they'll be followed or not.

We haven't been very involved with this one but I imagine with seven children, there have been a few interesting conversations. It probably helps that he was a very staunch Catholic as several of the children quite staunch 'others'. I understand he left strict instructions so that would be helpful.

Look good.why are they red! Did you make them in a muffin tin? That seems to be the proscribed way.

It's probably just the photo colour but they do 'brown up'. I use tins that are not quite as deep as most muffin tins.

Thanks very much. It seems strange going from six siblings to just four.

You have prepared a good many of them, and should they not all be eaten, surely you and Vince can take home some and even share them with his other siblings.

It's easy to have at least two or three so I think they will all be eaten. There might be 100 or so at the wake as his brother was well-known.

Thanks. They were ready to go as they were both elderly and unwell.

I think the children will be relieved when this is all behind them.

How difficult it must be to lose two siblings in such a short time. Your quiches look delicious. May all go well at the wake.

Thanks. They were 88 and 85 and the younger had been very unwell for a long time.

Hope what you have made will be enough . You are right. On such occasions it is difficult to guess the number that will be there.

It's not really my responsibility. I'm just doing a bit to help. They're not really expecting anything - maybe just a plate of food so I don't really need to worry about quantities.

They are only bite-size so it's not hard to eat a few.

Their birthdays were the same day so it's a bit bizarre really.

Exactly and it's in a town where he hasn't lived for years and years although one son lives there.

They were 85 and 88 and not well so in some ways it was a relief.

The brothers shared a birthday but were three years apart. They were both old and very unwell but it's still sad.
