The bedecked tree looked beautiful and the smell of pine was intoxicating. And as the afternoon turned to evening, the twinkling lights on the tree mesmerized us and we
At that moment the words that came flying out of our mouths would have startled even the most surly of sailors. The Husband had reached his limit. He banged the front door open and in one movement he hurled that dastardly tree out. Branches snapped. More needles dropped. Many more sassy words were spoken. It took a professional carpet cleaning company to remove the sappy stain from the carpet. Re-painting the entire ceiling had to happen to cover the scrape marks properly. And it took many weeks to find and clean every jabby, foot attacking pine needle our precious first Christmas tree left behind.
This, my friends, is why we do not have a fresh tree for Christmas. The end.

Hash Brown Crust Quiche
(recipe slightly edited from Paula Deen)
3 C hash browns, shredded, thawed, and drained
4 T butter, melted
3 eggs
1/2 C milk
1/2 C heavy cream
1/2 pound sausage, casings removed, cooked and crumbled
1 C shredded cheddar cheese
2 T chives, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 425℉.
In a 9" pie pan, coat your hash browns with the melted butter. Press the hash browns into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan. Place the pan into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the hash browns are crisp and just turing a golden brown color.
While the hash brown crust is baking, combine the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir to incorporate completely. When the hash brown crust is ready, remove from the oven and pour your sausage mixture over the crust. **Reduce the oven temperature to 350℉.** Now, place the quiche back into the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until middle of the quiche is set (not jiggly). Enjoy!!
Oooh, I do hope you'll swing by to Food on Friday to add this to the eggy recipe collection! Cheers from Carole from Carole's Chatter
