Another recipe from Rachel Khoo's 'Little Paris Kitchen' book. Poached rhubarb, meringue fingers & whipped double cream. The meringue was made with icing sugar, which I will use next time I attempt any type of meringue, as when I use caster sugar they invariably end in disaster.. The perfect pudding after salmon & asparagus.......k

We went to Evesham on Saturday & bought a ridiculous amount of asparagus, as it was very cheap (one place we go to each year was selling a 3 1/2lb bag for £6), & as I also had a lot of eggs & some cream, I decided to attempt a quiche. My inspiration was the Quiche Lorraine recipe in Rachel Khoo's 'Little Paris Kitchen' recipe book, though I made a few adjustments as at the last minute I decided to make double the amount of pastry, so managed to make 2 of them, one with smoked salmon & the other with some scraps of ham. As I didn't have enough cream for 2 of them, I added a couple of extra eggs & used some semi skimmed milk to make up the liquid volume. I think they needed cooking for another 5 minutes, as the pastry looks a little underdone, but they tasted ok. .....K

Looking out to Roker Pier, Sunderland. A glorious morning......S

Seaburn, Sunderland. This was the name of the company that supplied the skip.

It certainly made me smile.....S
