Blam This Piece of Crap Day 2022: fridge velcro quiche!

So I took my own sweet time figuring out how to turn something from meh to marvelous for Blam This Piece of Crap Day this year. As a result, when the day finally arrived I had to hustle something up pronto. And the most obvious decision was to make some kind of fridge velcro.

I'm not absolutely certain about the origins of the phrase "fridge velcro" -- it might be an Alton Brown thing -- but in this household it refers to certain foods (quiche, casseroles, soup, etc.) where most of the odds and ends of things you have lurking in your fridge will "stick" to the recipe. Make something tasty and clean out a major appliance at the same time!

Considering the number of marked-down supermarket specials, various containers of leftovers, and the quantity of eggs we had in the chiller, I decided to make a fridge velcro quiche.

Now behold its slung-together glory!

Crust: leftover rice.

Filling: sautéed red onion, marked-down mushrooms, one sad Roma tomato cut to bits and sautéed with slightly wilted green onions (both came back to life in the pan), a marked-down turkey kielbasa cut into bits and sautéed until piping hot, marked-down chêvre blended with four eggs and a splash of milk, various grated ends and pieces of cheese, all slooshed together and poured into the crust. Deeeeelicious (if a little goaty, but I happen to like that quality).

I didn't set a timer and forgot about the quiche in the oven (so, ADD Brain, we meet again.), so it got a little more brown on top than is normal for a quiche, but it's still delicious. I had a test piece to make sure. And since quiche is good served either hot or cold, we'll have meals for a couple of days off this baby.

I also had a little bit of leftover Nutella, so I made some Nutella hot chocolate (heat some milk until it's hot but not boiling, add Nutella -- I'd say about a tablespoon of Nutella per cup of milk, but you do you -- and whisk until it dissolves. Add a touch of vanilla extract if you want, or just drink your deliciously rich hazelnut hot chocolate as is).

ALL HAIL BTPOC DAY! *slurp* aaaah, chocolate.
