Caramelized Onion and Potato Quiche

About once every two months my husband and I

get to the end of the week and look in the

refrigerator and think ~ Well, we should go

grocery shopping but .... we still have some food.

And what I mean by some is odds and ends but

not really anything to make great dinners.

Even though we know it might be difficult we don't

shop that week and we call it "inventory reduction"

~ which means there needs to be some creativity

with the odds and ends that are available.

I found some onions, that is a good start.

I have eggs and milk.

And when I looked in the bottom drawer of

the refrigerator I found a few potatoes.

That sounds like Quiche to me!

so hungry you don't let the quiche cool ~ oops.
