Mash

Sometimes there is not a lot of food in the house and the leftovers are slim pickings. One of the great lessons I learned from bachelor-hood was how to throw food together and hope for the best. I was glad for that skill tonight.

When I got home there were few things in the refrigerator to call food. I ate one of Kristin's homemade yogurt cups and started digging out leftovers. I found one burger patty, a few steak fries and a going-stale, spring veggie and bread casserole. Hm... what could I make out of that?

I got a cheese sauce going on the stove-top and crumbled the casserole and burger into a pyrex baking pan. The fries got diced and mixed in. Then I beat some eggs and poured it on top. Once that was mixed I poured on the cheese sauce and cooked it covered for thirty minutes and uncovered for ten.

As I pulled my bubbling creation out of the oven a pleasant aroma filled the kitchen. I felt a little like Dr. Frankenstien as I cut out a slice with a spoon. What had I created?

I don't really know. I called it the "Cheese Burger and Fries, Spring Veggie, Bread Casserole Quiche." Mmm good.
