The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese. |
| G.K. Chesterton |
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

Pate aux Poireaux
This leek and cheese quiche from Ile d'Orleans is related to the
Flamiche aux poireuax, a savory leek tart made in northern Franch and
Flanders. The same recipe can also be used to make small tarts.
Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy saucepan, add leeks and
cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Add water, cover and simmer gently
for 20 to
25 minutes or until tender.
In another saucepan, melt the remaining two tablespoons butter,
blend in flour and cook over medium heat until bubbling. Blend in
leek mixture, bring to a boil and season with salt and pepper. Remove
from heat.
Beat egg and cream together, blend with leek mixture and pour into
unbaked tart shell. Sprinkle top evenly with cheese. Bake in
preheated 400F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until cheese begins to
brown. SERVES: 6
