Mix and Match Crust-less Quiche plus Goodbye Lie Diaries - Marie
![]() |
Crust-less Quiche |
You'll Need:
6 eggs
3/4 cup milk (non-fat optional)
8 ounces non-fat cottage cheese
8 ounces 2% cheddar sharp cheese
Mix and match any of the following, adding in just before baking:
1 small can of chopped mild green chilies
Chopped bacon
Garlic powder
Tuna
Tomatoes, seeded
Pepperoni, nuked a few seconds on a paper towel to remove the grease, then crumbled
Ground beef, lean, browned and drained
Chicken, cooked and chopped
Ham, chopped
Turkey, chopped
Green onions, chopped
Black olives, chopped
Green olives, chopped
For a thinner quiche, pour mixture into a 9 inch x 13 inch pan first treated with non-stick cooking spray. For a thicker quiche, use an 8 inch x 8 inch pan. You can also use muffin cups.
Bake at 325 degrees for 30 or 35 minutes, generally, checking a knife comes out clean when inserted in the middle. Reduce the muffin cups by at least 10 minutes. Oven temperatures vary, so don't over-bake. Serve with a tossed or fruit salad. Yummo!
Enjoy! -Jane Marie

Late 1800s
Fernandina on Amelia Island, Florida
Marie writes: Jane Marie, you know how I love to
eat. Why it is one of God's pure pleasures, isn't it? I am always on a quest to find easy to make recipes because I would much rather be looking for shark's teeth or flirting with boys. However, I understand the need for a woman to be as capable in the kitchen as she is in the bedroom. Please don't tell Mama or Aunt Noreen or Peeper I said that. They'd skin me and hang my hide from the barn door if'n they heard such an admission.
Well, this egg dish sounds wonderful since I can add whatever I want. Have you tried it with a few seasoned bread crumbs? Yes, the bread may defeat the purpose of those low-fat ingredients you recommend, but it sounds quite delicious to me. I bet Peeper will have some ideas of her own to goose up the flavor. She always has her way of doing things and that makes her about the best cook in the county, next to our mother, Miss Ella.

The Goodbye Lie series

May the reminder of your day be another adventure, as I hope mine will be. Now that I think on it, mayhap my quest for adventure is higher on my happy list than food. My stars, what a realization that is to me.

Another "Lucy" Moment- Where Are My ...?
I confess. I have always and am always misplacing two things. Beginning in childhood, I remember
asking my mother, "Where are my shoes?" That continued into adulthood. Now I ask my husband, "Where are my shoes?" plus "Where are my glasses?" I wear cheaters/readers, whatever you may call them.
asking my mother, "Where are my shoes?" That continued into adulthood. Now I ask my husband, "Where are my shoes?" plus "Where are my glasses?" I wear cheaters/readers, whatever you may call them.
One day I was alone in the house, scurrying about, as I usually do. I don't walk. Why? I can't say for sure, but one advantage is you burn calories, another is you get to where you're going faster and, thereby, can accomplish more things. Win, win, right?
So there I am, asking Abby, the spokesdog for this blog and my writing companion, and myself, mostly myself, "Where are my glasses." I always keep a spare pair in every room, or try to. I often manage to find several in a pile. Case in point ... When I happened to pass a mirror, I caught a near blinding reflection of something glinting off the sun. I figured out it was the four pairs of glasses I had hanging on the neck of the sweatshirt I was wearing. I had to laugh as this one. I took a selfie to prove what a dumb bunny I can be. (Refer to the picture above.)
Hey, perhaps we can spin this to read how my powers of concentration are so great, I don't know everything I do while I'm doing it. Naw. That can't be right because I am a great multi-tasker. Just ask me.
Save yourselves, my dear readers. Your hostess here is silly, screwie and leaning hard toward being nuts. But as I tell people, it's happy in my world and that of our fictitious and beloved Dunnigan family on Amelia Island in the late 1800s. It must be happy in yours, too, because you're right here with us. Happy is a better thing. Let's keep it that way!

Fernandina Shocker
May I recount a recent incident for you? Permission or not, I shall. There I am signing my historical romance books, aka, The Goodbye Lie series in e-book and paperback, on Centre Street in our charming downtown Fernandina, Amelia Island. Perched on the deck outside Sea Jade's old Florida souvenir shop, I am introducing my novels to new friends. This is much fun for me and I hope for them as well. But wait, something tears our attention away from the topic of great literature. What is it that we spy across the street? Oh, cheese and crackers, where are binoculars when we need them? It looks to be some sort of partially clothed pointy faced creature, its appendages bare. Bold as I am, I volunteer to chance impact with the automobiles barreling toward me at 15 mph or whatever the excessive speed limit is that the law has set. Do remember, those tourists can have feet of lead. A rowdy bunch, they even sip water directly from bottles. What would Aunt Noreen think of such crass behavior?
Upon arrival on the sunny side of the street, I, once described as the prattling princess, am left speechless. My discovery is less than life threatening, dare I admit? Yes, I dare. My discovery is, well, comical for it is merely a pig playing a trombone. Good times.

What Is It? - Goodbye Lie Diaries - Carolena
What on earth, or off the earth for that matter, could this be? An underwater scene from an animated horror movie? Perhaps the landscape of a death star? While you guess, read an entry in our Goodbye Lie Diaries from Carolena, the heroine from Amelia Island's Velvet Undertow, part of The Goodbye Lie series set in the late 1800s in north Florida in the tiny city of Fernandina.
Late 1880s

With regard to your picture, Jane Marie, I can only guess it comes from a dark mind, seeking hope, what with the lighter, welcoming shading on the upper left. Is this your imagining of what could be mysterious black ice cycles?
Present time
Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, Florida
Jane Marie writes: Perhaps you are correct in thinking you might not be suited for teaching or nursing. Aren't we glad there are others who are.
With my dark mind, I can see your black ice cycles, Carolena. (I am smiling.) I must say I have enjoyed the variety of comments I've received so far as to what this picture could be. And yes, this is my creation, but only because of a combination of nature and a program we have in our time to alter photographs. It's generally referred to as photo shop.
So what was my original photograph? It was a shadow of landscape against a white door. I noticed this shadow, thought it was pretty in its simplicity and took a picture of it. Then I applied the photo shop program to disguise it and try and fool folks. I can be a little minx, you know.
See the original shadow photo below.
