monster quiche piece

This simple Zucchini Quiche is the best I've had in eons. As I savored each delectable bite, I thought to myself, "if this kind of quiche was served in a local restaurant, it is definitely something I'd make sure to come back for --again and again!" I used my biggest pie dish and was glad I did because it baked up montrously (it did take a bit longer than the recipe indicated) but the inside was magnifique! It was well worth the extra time it took! This recipe calls for 8 eggs, two smallish zucchini, swiss cheese, montery jack cheese, green onion, fresh garlic, milk, salt and (for us) lots of pepper. My husband contemplated a few drops of tobasco sauce on his piece. "Real" bacon was sprinkled on top (not pictured). The bacon was baked at the same temperature as the quiche on a broiling pan at the same time the quiche was baking. The less mess and fuss, the better, and it's a good economy dish too! YUM!! It's amazing how something as simple as this quiche can make my heart sing!

pieces, pieces

so many pieces to my life

scattered all around

and some of them are gone

and i know that i can't ever

put them back together again

pieces, pieces

so many pieces to my life

a puzzle left unfinished

jumbled and unwhole

who can really ever

put them all together again

in a vision like a daydream

through your mind

i saw Jesus coming closer

holding all my hopes combined

He spoke with great compassion

as He put one hand on me

and in the other hand He held

what i could never see

He said pieces, pieces

I have all the pieces to your life

a thousand tiny fragments

of every single day

I can put them all together

and ther're never be another one who can

He said pieces, pieces

I have all the pieces to your life

in My hand I hold the pieces

of every single day

I can put them all together

so they'll never fall away

I can put them all together

and there'll never be another one who can

The Key Ingredient

"The key ingredient in being in contact with reality is attention to what feels most true at the present moment."--Soul Without Shame is a book that deals with your "inner crtique". This seemingly simple statement bears quite a bit of weight in the author's premise. So far, this book has been very helpful to me and I find myself amazed that someone else has shared the same type of struggles that I do. I've experienced some hefty "epiphany moments" with this author. But the thought that rings so loud and clear above all the rest of even this author's suggestions are --using two of the author's words: "most true". To me, that can only be one thing, His presence, the presence of God. Add to that a few words of encouragement from my mother years and years ago..."Practice in His Presence!"---now that's what I call reality's key ingredient.
