I’m not much of a cook,
truth be told, but I have learned to live vicariously through my Marketville
Mysteries’ protagonist Calamity (Callie) Barnstable. And while there are no
actual recipes in my books, Callie can often be found making dinner (when she’d
not ordering in Thai or cheese pizza with hot peppers and extra sauce). In A Fool’s Journey, Callie makes Asparagus
& Brie Quiche, which she pairs with mixed greens with balsamic dressing,
angel food cake with fresh strawberries and a dollop of strawberry whipped
cream for dessert. Sounds yummy, doesn’t it?
Brie & Asparagus Quiche
Ingredients:
1 - 9” pie shell
3 eggs
1 small white onion, chopped
1tsp. butter or margarine
8 ounces Brie cheese, cut
into wedges
½ cup milk
½ cup 18% table cream
8-10 asparagus spears, ends
trimmed
Salt and pepper, to taste
Nutmeg
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 400°F
Melt butter and lightly fry
the onion until clear.
Blanch asparagus in salted
water for 3 to 4 minutes, then drain in ice cold water to retain color.
Cut the rind from the cheese
and chop into small cubes.
Mix cheese, eggs, and milk
into a food processor and blend until smooth. Add salt, pepper and a pinch of
nutmeg.
Spread onions on the base of
the pie shell, pour in cheese mixture, then place asparagus spears on top.
Bake thirty minutes until
set and lightly browned.
A Fool’s Journey
A Marketville Mystery, Book 3
In March 2000, twenty-year
old Brandon Colbeck left home to find himself on a self-proclaimed “fool’s
journey.” No one—not friends or family—have seen or heard from him since, until
a phone call from a man claiming to be Brandon brings everything back to the
forefront. Calamity (Callie) Barnstable and her team at Past & Present
Investigations have been hired to find out what happened to Brandon, and, if
still alive, where he might be. As Callie follows a trail of buried secrets and
decades-old deceptions only one thing is certain: whatever the outcome, there
is no such thing as closure.
