Quiche Trivia:
Quiche originated in Germany, in the medieval kingdom of Lothringen, which was ruled by the Germans. The French later changed the name from Lothringen to Lorraine. Quiche became popular in England after World War II, and in the United States during the 1950's.

Hope to see you there!

P.S. Thanks to F00DAngel for sharing this delightful poem from the AtkinsforLadies list:

Ode to the Whoosh Fairy

Now I lay me down to sleep...

A cup of Splenda at my feet...

I'll be good and drink my water --

Leave the grape juice for my daughter..

I promise to eat all my eggs..

Now take those bulges from my legs..

I'll eat my pork -- I'll eat a steer..

Just takes these bumps from my rear..

I'll never even look at jelly..

Please take the blub out of my belly..

These lips will never touch a sweet

Oh, if only... I could see my feet..

So, please tonight before I wake..

A few more pounds Whoosh Fairy Take!

Where's the BEEF?











Where's the BEEF?
Right here in the Low-carb Cook's Nook!
Beef is a versatile and low-carb-friendly food, but it's easy to get stuck in a rut of making it in the same-old, same-old ways!
Don't RIB me or ROAST me about it, I just might outFLANK you or tie you to a STEAK! (sorry, I am so corny tonight... heehee... like CORNED BEEF!)
So stay well-GROUNDed and join us here in the Nook for an evening of Beef recipes, from Pizza-Meatza crust to Tijuana Train Wreck, from stir-fry to kabobs, from meatloafs (meatloaves?) to countless variations on steaks and burgers and roasts! When's the chat? Thursday, July 9th, 2009, 9-11pm EDT
