What's cookin'

I've been walking around all day in my Piggly Wiggly's shirt thinking about food.  Although we're not in Low Country, we have been eating our favorites - shrimp and grits, fried whiting and tomato pie (the pie I made today was a toe tapper).  Yesterday I did a spinach and vidalia quiche for breakfast (inspired by King's).  We've been having some good eats...tomorrow we will swing by a farm to get some beef and then we'll start winding down our vacation.

I've eaten enough key lime pie to make my lips pucker, but I haven't had enough so I decided to try my hand at making one.  I enlisted my daughter to separate the eggs and then whipped up the pie in just a few minutes, using my new favorite dessert ingredient - sweetened condensed milk.  The pie was quite nice, a slightly different texture than the pie from King's but it received rave reviews from the family - I only wish I'd cooked the crust a bit longer.

I took the whites and made a quiche for breakfast - spinach, shrimp, vidalias, peppers, and tomatoes.  It smells real good.
