Hash Brown-Crusted Quiche

This is starting to look like 

The Maddie Channel

so I thought I had best post some food.

This is a little something I 

spied on Pinterest.

It's basically frozen shredded

hash browns that you mix with some melted butter,

line a greased quiche pan with 

and then bake for about 20 minutes to brown up. 

Then you add your own idea of quiche filling

and bake.

Couple of things:

The hash browns don't really stay up

on the sides to form a crust.

They don't really get very brown.

And the ones on the bottom get way

crunchy. Kind of hard to eat crunchy.

So, it wasn't a bust but not so good 

that I will be doing it again.

And here's a picture of Maddie for you. 

It IS the Maddie channel.

Sleep *Patterns*

It's fun to watch babies sleep.

When they're little they sleep where you

lay them down. 

When you can stand to lay them down.

But then they get bigger and are able to move

around the crib.

 I think Maddie fell asleep sitting up. 

That's her foot in her face.

 I think she was trying to make an escape.

If you look closely, there is one leg sticking out.

What you can't see is the other leg sticking out

under the blanket.

So now we have 

"breathable" bumpers. 

Night, night.

I Like To Put Things On Maddie's Head 2

I got a million of these.

That's a swim cap.

I bought it in December.

Wouldn't want to get caught unprepared.

THE Baby Prison!!

Maggie has pointed out to me that 

Maddie could totally bust outta our

Gated Community.

Her boys aren't going anywhere!

Baby Prison

My niece, Maggie, coined that phrase.

she has one for her twins.

They are boys. 

I think the descriptive title is fitting.

I can't find a photo of hers for the life of me.

But Maddie has one too.

She's reading a book and singing.

One of Shanna's friend coined the term

gated community.

I think we'll go with that.

I Like To Put Things On Eliana's Head.

Actually (actually) in this case it's just one thing.

 But given the opportunity to dress her again, 

I will accessorize her again.

Can you hear her laughing in this one?

Poached Egg

Once upon a time I made a perfect poached egg. 

Mike said to take a picture of it, 

you never know when you'll need a picture of a 

perfectly poached egg.

So here it is. 

I don't really need it but I thought I would share.

I reserve the right to post this picture

again should the need arise for a picture of a 

perfectly poached egg. 

PS, this is how I did it:

I cracked an egg into a small bowl, 

 got a small pan of water to just below a boil, 

swirled the water with a spoon, 

dropped the egg in the middle of the swirl, 

leave it alone for 3 minutes, 

turn off the fire and let it sit for 1 minute.

 WaLa

Perfectly poached egg!
